Recovered Photography

During the last month i learned something wise: The storage of digital photography sucks. I learned through pain. After a doubtful period, i decided to recover my temorarily lost data and payed ceiling prices for my own photographs. Here is a small sample of the recovered stuff.

Photography: hard disk from hell


What comes next? According to my series Aesthetics of destruction - On the edge of analogue photography i will perform a further series: On the edge of digital photography.

Stay tuned and don't stop backing up your digital photographs x times ;-)

Recording the crisis

Why we’re taking photographs of beautiful people, whilst we are in the midst of a paradigm shift and the economic crisis is spreading?
Brain Ulrich shows himself surprised on his blog that not more artists react to environmental conditions. Inspired by his post Cara Philips wrote an interesting post The nature and purpose of photography, discussing why the contemporary photographic art scene behaves in this passive way. In the course of reading her interesting post, I came across some statements regarding differentiations of photography: art photography, amateur works, etc. Well – to be honest, I’m still confused about what in photography is denoted as art, as amateur work or scrap. But that’s an other story.

Never mind. Independently, I started taking photos of the artifacts of ongoing occurrences.
