Leave me alone, mosquito!
A beautiful morning in Quakjeswater. Almost a bit autumn-ish. The sun just rising, morning damp, spiders in their web, and a few deer (running away when they noticed me).

This is a photograph made by Edward Steichen. “The Big White Cloud” has been an inspiration for ages. As was almost all of Steichen’s work. And still is. I bought every book i could find and well…maybe, i hope, its influence can be seen in my photographs.
I have experimented a few years with old printing processes such as Gum Bichromate and Photogravures. The photo on the left is a photogravure, a very difficult process in which you engrave a copperplate by making the plate light sensitive and bring it in contact with a large negative. In a sour bath you etch away the darker parts of an image. When done right, you can achieve a very large tonal scale. Very, very beautiful but also time consuming. The photo is made in Prague. The swan, by the way, was already dead…
