cellography ~ contrast
"Contrast is the difference in visual properties that makes an object (or its representation in an image) distinguishable from other objects and the background...
Because the human visual system is more sensitive to contrast than absolute luminance, we can perceive the world similarly regardless of the huge changes in illumination over the day or from place to place."
[from the wikipedia article]
The pictures above aren't from any study on the term "contrast", just a collection that I assembled over some weeks with my old cell phone's built-in camera. I really get used to this thingee and the way the pictures turn out...

one man nation [spring 2009]
Somehow also an addendum to this post here - One Man's Nation concert in spring 2009 and the other one in fall 2010 were very special for me: on the first occasion it was the first time I shoot pictures for the Klub MOOZAK guys, and the other concert was so far the last set I did for quite a while.
Thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to learn and improve my skills and many many evenings of beautiful, mind-expanding music/performances. So long and until some better sunny day when I will be in the position to shoot for you again !

cellography, face perception and a marble floor
something I came across many many times was/is people - and especially me - recognicing faces in all kind of shapes. The highlight of a rather boring film from the late sixites I had to sit through was a very old continuous-flow water heater on the wall that looked like a Imperial Storm Trooper's Mask from Star Wars. No kidding ! I swear ! Just like in the movies !!!
A quite long dialogue between two students about revolution and art happend right under this gigantic monster mask water heater and I nearly fainted trying NOT to break out in hysterical laughter... people: it was hard to stand this one through.
The longer the dialogue lasted the more hilarious the whole scene became for me. Now I have a very profound glimpse of where George Lucas' team got the idea for this masks
Which leads me back to topic: Face Recognition. For the more interested among us/you here a wikipedia article for starters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_perception). I know this is cheap, but what the heck...
I had to wait several times on the same floor for long terms for some people - and while being there alone and without a book and no view and my old cellphone with built in lo-fi camera (it works, so what the heck !) I started to try out NOT seeing faces in the marble floor. Here some results.

still a human form, but I'm on the way...

way back, in a cave.... yes, this is a pattern I found in a marble floor.
A stone cut through, resulting in this shape. Amazing.

and then I found faces too....

... ghostly, human faces...
Yes, this are all patterns/shapes found in a marble floor. I am still amazed.
Sorry for the poor quality, but the ole cellphone was all I got.

International Conference in Vienna
thanks to a friend of mine I got the chance to take pictures during an international conference here in Vienna. During this three days I had the chance to take lot of portraits and make much experience in many fields...
Thanks a lot to the people who made this possible... (c. - for the camera, h.p. - for the lens, n. for the press card,...). And applause for my companion/supporter/last hope while taking pictures and beyond: Kirstin Brueckler -> Check out her photostream - this lady surely did her homework; a very talented photographer !
