Whenever I return to Orkney I am always impressed by how huge the sky and the sea are compared to us humans. The landscape is mostly flat but we are still dwarfed by it. I made a small series of photographs showing small people in large landscapes while I was on my travels. I feel like the island life can be quite isolating sometimes and that some of these photographs portray this quite well.
My Flat is underground and has a small patio which is accessible by climbing through the window. I have started a little photo project called “vor meinem Fenster” (outside my window” where, whenever I do something on my patio, I take a photo.
I recently had to move all the data from my old PC onto my new laptop. My old computer is frustratingly slow and it took such a long time because my hard drive was filled with photos, most of them were pictures that I hadn’t looked at since I took them. Many arn’t even in focus or are just plain boring. I wasted so much time taking them.
