Kunstpause #36
Christian brought us a new house mate: our resident orchid. It’s beautiful and I had to shoot a picture of it. In black/white it makes such a timeless impression. It will majestically reign over our household.

Kunstpause #5 Happy Place
Every time life gets a little too hectic and I feel rushed. I take a deep breath and look at the beaches in Naples, Florida. I never get tired of the place.

The tilted angles and the counter action of the camera, make this photos a little unnerving. Reminds me of a circus, where the artists are always a little off kilter between their act.

It’s has a great feature called Vibe, or more uses is the term “tag” – that all photos have in common on upload and then every one can see the event’s photos from all people. #Streetart was one common Vibe that resulted in a whole Art Projection Project by EyeEm in Berlin at the end of November.
