Captured with a Minolta Dynax 700si on AgfaPhoto APX 100 film, this black-and-white image presents the Reinhold-Maier-Tower in Boertlingen. The green-and-white striped structure, resembling a lighthouse, is a repurposed nearly 100-year-old pendulum tower of the state water supply, now serving as an observation tower. Standing tall against a textured sky, its bold pattern contrasts with the surrounding landscape. A bare tree frames the right side, adding a touch of quiet solitude, while the adjacent building grounds the scene in a sense of place. The image evokes both clarity and nostalgia, blending architectural precision with an atmospheric stillness.
The original capture is shared only to show the real starting point, highlighting the transformation through my vision. The final work invites you to see differently, beyond the ordinary.
La capture d'origine est présentée uniquement pour montrer le point de départ réel, et mettre en lumière la transformation opérée par mon regard. L'œuvre finale invite à voir autrement, au-delà de l'ordinaire.

in the heart of madrid, at plaza escultor juan de ávalos, light and darkness waltz in a playful dance. a skater glides across the plaza, his silhouette perfectly carved against the concrete canvas. the interplay of sharp contrasts captures a fleeting moment, where movement meets stillness, form meets freedom. beneath the steps, the shadows stretch like silent spectators, framing his solitary performance. a scene where the city breathes and a figure moves with an unseen rhythm, echoing the city's pulse.
Peut-être que ce que vous ressentez dans mes mots, dans mes images,
c’est simplement cela :
la vie m’a appris à regarder au-delà de ce qui est devant moi.
.......................................
Perhaps what you feel in my words, in my images,
is simply this:
life has taught me to look beyond what stands before me.

Certains visages vivent dans la brume.
Ni partis, ni présents
juste là, quelque part
dans le fil du temps.
Ceux qui regardent vraiment savent :
on ne capture pas par hasard.
C’est une vision qui appelle.
Mais ce n’est qu’après, dans le silence du travail,
que le cœur lâche tout.
Ce n’est pas l’instant qui suffit,
c’est ce qu’on y dépose après.
Ce qu’on révèle, ce qu’on avoue à demi-mot
par la lumière, les contours,
l’effacement parfois.
Créer pour exprimer l’indicible.
Je cherche ce qui se cache,
ce qui tremble,
ce qui fait sens.
On croit que tout s’efface.
Mais parfois,
ce qui reste
est ce qu’on ne voit plus.
C’est comme ça, la vie.
---
Some faces live in the mist.
Neither gone, nor present
just there, somewhere
woven into the thread of time.
Those who truly see, know:
we don’t capture by accident.
It’s a vision that calls.
But only afterward, in the silence of the process,
does the heart let go of everything.
It’s not the moment that matters,
but what we lay upon it afterward.
What we reveal, what we whisper
through light, through edges,
through erasure, sometimes.
To create is to express the unspeakable.
I search for what hides,
what trembles,
what carries meaning
We believe everything fades.
But sometimes,
what remains
is what can no longer be seen.
That’s just how life is.

capturing jean-remy von matt isn’t just about taking a portrait. it’s about distilling the essence of a man whose ideas have shaped how we see the world. here he stands, framed by the worn glass of his beloved citroën van—a vehicle that now lives on in his home as a tv room, holding memories of movement and meaning. the shot reflects his unique creative spirit: clarity and shadow, the seen and the unseen, converging in a single moment. this isn’t just a photograph; it’s a tribute to a life driven by ideas, told through the frame of a citroën.
I'm a great admirer of creative vision and this artist, working on a large sunset mural with cans of spray paint immediately caught my eye. She was working from a vision in her head - periodically stepping back to check the results. Out of the picture and beside my position, was another stepladder with a camera secured by duct tape. It was set to snap a picture every 60 seconds and would produce a time lapse of the work in progress. I imagine that would make for a cool video.
The pathway, lined with sleek, modern tiles and reflective inlays, leads the viewer’s eye upward toward the horizon where silhouetted signs and structures stand against a dramatic, cloud-streaked sky. The low sun, veiled behind a textured ceiling of clouds, casts a soft, amber hue over the scene, bringing out subtle contrasts between the wooden deck and the smooth stone. This minimalist, almost abstract composition evokes calm and contemplation — a modern interpretation of coastal serenity, where architecture and nature converge in golden silence
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

Almost threw this one away, then I found a good way of framing this to enclose that light, and that black [shadowed] wall on the left.

On my way home to Manila, I noticed this bright red wall at the Victory Bus Station in Baguio. Got interested. And from my seat from the bus, took this shot.
Bear in mind, if you are going to amount to anything, that your success does not depend upon the brilliancy and the impetuosity with which you take hold, but upon the ever lasting and sanctified bulldoggedness with which you hang on after you have taken hold.
~Dr. A.B. Meldrum
The miracle, or the power, that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance under the prompting of a brave, determined spirit.
~ Mark Twain
Through careful composition of a modern building's facade, I created an abstract study in light and shadow. The crisp geometric forms cascade down the frame like a dark ribbon, while the precise lighting emphasizes the architectural rhythm.
Experience Hamburg’s iconic harbor in a completely new way! This abstract motion blur photograph captures the essence of movement, history, and the maritime atmosphere of the famous Landungsbrücken and its tall ships. The fusion of water, architecture, and speed creates a dreamy, artistic vision of one of Germany’s most famous waterfronts.
In Toulouse airport's connecting tunnel, I focused on how the curved glass and lighting create an almost sci-fi atmosphere. The repeated forms and aqua-tinted glass transform this functional passage into a futuristic transportation capsule.
Il riflesso del cielo nell'acqua ci invita a scoprire un universo parallelo, dove realtà e immaginazione si intrecciano. Ogni increspatura modifica il disegno, trasformando il familiare in qualcosa di straordinario. Non esistono regole, né limiti: solo la libertà di sognare. In questo gioco di luci e ombre, il confine tra ciò che è reale e ciò che è possibile si dissolve, e siamo liberi di vedere il mondo con occhi nuovi. Lasciamoci trasportare dall'illusione e scopriamo la bellezza nascosta nelle pieghe dell'immaginazione.

By isolating this minimalist geometric shape against dark panels, I created a study in contrast where the golden line becomes a beacon of light. The composition plays with negative space, allowing the simple form to command attention through its solitary presence.
In this minimalist architectural study, I focused on how light plays across concrete surfaces to create subtle gradients and sharp edges. The composition explores the dialogue between rigid geometric forms and the flowing nature of light.
By isolating these white balconies against a dark sky, I transformed a familiar building element into an abstract rhythm of light and shadow. The repeating curved forms create a visual melody that plays with our perception of architectural space.
By photographing this glass building, I created a complex geometric dance between the physical structure and its reflections. The repeated patterns multiply through mirrored surfaces, creating an infinite architectural maze where reality and reflection become indistinguishable. The monochromatic treatment emphasizes this visual puzzle, transforming a modern facade into an abstract exploration of depth and repetition.
By focusing on the repeating elements of this facade, I created a visual symphony of light and shadow. Each line builds upon the next, forming a dynamic composition that seems to ripple across the frame.
And so faith is closing your eyes and following the breath of your soul down to the bottom of life, where existence and nonexistence have merged into irrelevance. All that matters is the little part you play in the vast drama.

I thank God for the gift of sight
I thank God for seeing Him
I thank God for the beauty
even in seemingly mundane things that surround us
I thank God when I doubt
for in the end I realize He blesses me
and i realize you are a blessing to me, too!
I thank God for the gift of virtual friendship and the internet
for he makes people like us connect
making us one in spirit!
God Bless and have a great weekend to you all!

Taken from the doorway of Binondo Church, which was then undergoing renovation.
Working with my friend, I envisioned creating an image that transcends traditional photography to enter the realm of contemporary visual art. The composition was carefully planned to capture that perfect moment of elevation, symbolizing freedom and transcendence. The natural elements - the sunset sky and water - provided the perfect canvas for my artistic vision. I chose to maintain the vertical elements to add architectural rhythm and depth to the composition, creating a structured framework that contrasts beautifully with the dynamic human figure. My goal was to craft not just an image, but an emotion - that feeling of limitless possibility and pure joy. The color palette, with its interplay of warm golds and cool blues, was crucial in achieving the dreamlike atmosphere I was seeking. This piece represents the fusion of technical precision and artistic imagination, transforming a simple moment into something magical.
All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest - never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership.

Using stark contrast and clean composition, I transformed this building detail into an abstract study of curved lines. The rhythmic pattern of white bands against black creates a sense of movement and flow, turning architecture into pure geometric poetry.
Using stark upward perspective on this modern building's facade, I created an abstract study in geometric patterns. The monochromatic treatment emphasizes the sharp angles and repetitive elements, transforming functional architecture into a graphic composition.
I began to have an idea of my life, not as the slow shaping of achievement to fit my preconceived purposes, but as the gradual discovery and growth of a purpose which I did not know.

Dedicated to all of you, my Flickr friends who inspire me to nurture my craft.....
I always wished that the available room would be on the eastern side (for Photo op, of course!). As in the past, I have always cherished having sun rays penetrate my room. So I would always roll the heavy curtains to the side at night so that I would be awakened by the warm morning sunlight.
Boredom is a sign of satisfied ignorance, blunted apprehension, crass sympathies, dull understanding, feeble powers of attention, and irreclaimable weakness of character. (James Bridie)
Rahyll was one of my interns in the House of Representatives. I usually see her reading in this corner. She wrote a policy paper on a very controversial issue: Population Management in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. She had the best policy paper among the 19 who made it in my Batch 7 of interns.
In this black-and-white composition, the ropes symbolize the invisible forces that shape and bind our thoughts. Are we held by external hands or by the intricate webs we weave within our own minds?
Found at LRT Sta Cruz Station. The lady is a passenger and the other one is a stand-up cardboard life-sized photo of an unknown advertisement.
I chose to photograph this street light as an urban sculpture, isolating it against the sky. The minimal composition emphasizes its elegant design, while the warm glow of the lamps creates points of interest in the geometric composition.
