Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

First of all let me say thank you to "der Greif" for asking me to to do this. And of course thank you for showing my work. Even though I am used to blogging on my personal tumblr, doing this is very difficult for me. The problem is that there seems to be a tradition in this blog - the tradition of writing what special photographs and artworks mean to you as a human or artist. This is a problem because I have always avoided that things become meaningful to me. I avoided it because as soon as you are entering the realm of the meaningful you are also approaching the realm of the metaphysical and occult. And I believe that you need to stay rational if you want to be good in creating things, which is especially true if you are approaching the metaphysical and the occult. So lets start with the paintings of Juan Ford. Maybe I am attracted by his work because of what I just said above. www.juanford.com
