below: some other examples for trying to support a dramatic message via stylish black and white photography [first version always is a color photo]. Three pictures are by my wife Barbara [#4, #9, #10], a professional photographer; I learned a lot by her about painting with light [and shadows] as a basic principle of black and white photography:
2 – the edge, Winterswijk, where Piet Mondrian lived:
3 – castle for a retired mind:
4 – me, playing guitar, portrait by my wife Barbara:
5 – our cat fighting vs. the light-reflections of me steel guitar:
6 – a road of light falling through the windows down to the floor:
7 – tunnel of light in my hometown Wuppertal, hanging tram:
8 – winter garden marble, New York city:
9 – portrait of a hesitating woman, shot by my wife:
10 – nude in an abandoned factory, shot by my wife, session for a book:
11 – on violence and gun law politics:
12 – on frustration (in a dance hall):
13 – in discussion with a Russian (in my home recording audio studio):
14 – solitude for a thinker, Humboldt university, Berlin:
P.S.:
