This year I tried to make something that would have the potential to be appreciated by the public, without denying my own motives and themes, namely the mountain landscapes. But I still think my best photograph from 2013 is one I made at the beginning of the year, mainly concerned with removing elements and reaching emptiness as a subject.
All my photographs, including the mountain landscapes, are not very spectacular or overwhelming. There is no sunset, old man or naked woman on them, they are not black and white. In stead they are subtle, clear and valid only on second sight. Next year I will be buying a new camera that will enable me to print bigger, show more detail, and start a new series with people. Yes, it will be a radical departure from my peopleless world. While remaining subtle there will be some mystery introduced.
Meanwhile I hope the world will continue to move towards reason, justice and equality. Away with intolerance, dictators and poverty. I wish you all a very good 2014.
