Synopsis "PhotoGraphs WrittenLight (in English)"
When taken literally, a translation of the word 'photograph' means 'written light'. In this book I offer the reader/viewer a collection of 'textual illumination' divided into categories. The accompanying short short-stories-in some cases no more than a few words-are literary counter weights to the visual text.Rather than pretend to be a technophile and focus on how each image came about (aperture setting, focal length, lens type, film, etc.)-which is a conventional means of augmenting photographic images-I borrow instead Roland Barthes' take on photographs, and treat what the camera captured as something that cannot be repeated. In other words, the how of the photograph is not as important to me as what is made visible with light.Continuing with Barthes, conceptually these 'things written with light' are all punctum rather than studium. They represent what caught my eye over the years. Sometimes I framed my subjects consciously, at other times I only realized later the significance of a particular frame.
