Leonardo da Vinci, Trattato della Pittura:
"Look at a wall spotted with stains, or with a mixture of stones ... you may discover a resemblance to landscapes ... battles with figures in action ... strange faces and costumes ... and an endless variety of objects"
"wenn du manches Gemäuer mit verschiedenen Flecken oder mit einem Gemisch aus verschiedenartigen Steinen anschaust; ... so kannst Du dort Bilder verschiedener Landschaften mit Bergen, Flüssen, Felsen, Bäumen, großen Ebenen, Tälern und Hügeln verschiedener Arten sehen; ebenso kannst Du dort verschiedene Schlachten und Gestalten mit lebhaften Gebärden, seltsame Gesichter und Gewänder und unendlich viele Dinge sehen"

HWSH's ENTIRE photostream - and albums - is one extended essay in the fine art of careful - or rather, indeed, astute - seeing and photographic response to such attentive seeing. Anyone who takes the time to study this work carefully and frequently will come to see the world with fresh eyes, and will be deeply enriched in the process - as, indeed, I am, every time I study the works gathered here. Thank you is too small a gesture of response, but it is heartfelt.

Every time I take a look at the EXIF data for one of HWSH's works I am blown away. Hans Walter proves that the attainment of photographic art is not dependent upon more expensive technology, and for this reason his page is an important one. It should be held up as a challenge to the so-called "professional" photographers to dig out an old point-and-shoot and show us what they can do. Here too, is a testimonial to a Canon powershot. I never tire of Hans Walter's work, and I always look forward to his next offering.
