A website about photography, philosophy and time?
What does that mean and how is it related?
I have had to deal with the phenomenon of time professionally for 40 years. With the limited nature of time but also the many opportunities that are offered to us if we use time wisely. I have been using photography for at least that long to transform private insights and significant moments into images. Both activities have forced me to think about how we actually perceive our world. Inevitably I came to epistemology and its great thinkers in philosophy.
As a practical person, it is important to me to also apply my findings practically. Not just when taking photos or planning projects, but also specifically when maintaining and repairing my cameras. This website is about all of this and I would be happy if you could use the information here in your activities. I also welcome criticism, comments and suggestions from you. Use the comment fields!
This is a non-commercial website. All articles on this website are based on my own practical experience and considerations. In addition, in some places I use information from other sources. I have checked information from such sources with the greatest possible care and have indicated or linked the origin. If you still find incorrect information, I would be grateful if you would let me know.
