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

A certain moment will never recur, ever again.

 

To take pictures is maybe an act of capturing a singular and precious moment.

 

But who knows?

 

Taking pictures is like praying to something unseen which tells us there exists something important and nothing special at the same time.

 

And it always makes me keep thinking about what this life is.
