Summary
| Description |
Deutsch: Detailansicht eines (kleinen) Krans im Hafen, Waterfront, Cape Town, Westkap, Südafrika
Die V&A Waterfront in Kapstadt entstand im 19. Jahrhundert als Hafenanlage. 1860 ließ Prinz Alfred, Sohn von Königin Victoria, das erste Hafenbecken bauen; später wurde es nach Königin Victoria und ihm benannt. Mit dem Ausbau moderner Hafenanlagen verlor das Gebiet im 20. Jahrhundert an Bedeutung und verfiel teilweise. In den 1980er Jahren begann eine umfassende Umgestaltung: Historische Speicher und Docks wurden restauriert und mit Geschäften, Restaurants und Hotels kombiniert. English: Detail view of a (small) crane in the harbour, Waterfront, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
The V&A Waterfront in Cape Town was built in the 19th century as a port facility. In 1860, Prince Alfred, son of Queen Victoria, had the first harbour basin built; it was later named after Queen Victoria and him. With the expansion of modern port facilities, the area lost its importance in the 20th century and fell into partial disrepair. In the 1980s, a comprehensive redevelopment began: historic warehouses and docks were restored and combined with shops, restaurants, and hotels. العربية: منظر تفصيلي لرافعة (صغيرة) في الميناء، الواجهة البحرية، كيب تاون، كيب الغربية، جنوب أفريقيا

Every photographer has maxims that guide him or her. Sometimes they exist consciously, sometimes unconsciously. So here is an attempt to formulate this maxim for my own photos:
- I have to like the photos myself. Even if interests change over the course of time, this means that primarily subjects of personal interest are photographed. Subjects of secondary interest serve to increase knowledge and experiment with other techniques or subjects. Commissioned work with special design requirements is not carried out.
- Free knowledge should be supported. The photos should support knowledge and education in every possible way. I see free knowledge as a valuable asset. There is no commercial interest and it would also stand in the way of creativity.
- The joy of photography should be visible. Photography should be fun. Beautiful pictures should enable fantasy worlds. My photos should convey all of this.
- Photos are only offered to third parties if they have been finally processed. The entire development process is carried out by me, from the choice of motif to post-processing. Changes of any kind by third parties are therefore not acceptable. Use is of course permitted subject to the license conditions.
- The technically possible should be utilized. The equipment sets limits, but the photos should be taken within these limits. This also means that photos are usually taken in raw data format.
- The photos are part of a creative process. From the idea to the choice of motif to post-processing, the creative process is utilized and the individual view is used to shape it.
- The photos should serve as a model for others and arouse interest in photography. Photography has many facets, from documentation to artistic use. The special features of this medium are intended to arouse interest in photography and also photographic art.
- The photos should have a positive effect. My hope is that the photos will help make the world a little bit better and have a positive impact on how we interact with each other. That's why I'm happy when the photos are used for educational and volunteer work.
