Seems like Berlin has a great climate for producing cracked paint sculptures!

I like these photos for the way they challenge the boundaries of genre. Photography? Painting? Sculpture?

Yes, I'm lucky that way. Even after almost a year of doing this most of my images are still made in the radius of 20-30 minutes walking distance from my home. All I really need is imagination, a camera and sometimes a bike.

I like to think of them as borderline photos-paintings as well :)

Inspired by what you've been posting, I'll admit that I've tried it in just the same fashion here in Lyon. To be honest, I'm ready to blame the city as much as my stunted imagination, haha, for my meagre results. Lyon is just "managed" in a very different way from Berlin (French municipal governments have enormous expenditures devoted to urban facial maintenance), and Berlin at this point in time attracts a MUCH more special group of people. It's really the heart of the artistic avant garde in Europe right now.
 
I completely agree, Berlin is special. That's why I'm here, after all (I'm not German). I've been to Lyon just once, but I know many cities that would've made me work much harder. In the end, though, if something's large enough to be a city and not a town, I believe you're bound to find enough good surfaces. Buildings and streets need renovation everywhere, and workers bring with them lots of "good stuff" like containers. Not to mention factory districts and such. And some of my abstract favorites were shots of things you'd never guess - it had nothing to do with age, decomposition or rust.

Nice ... 1600 ...

What are your camera settings, default?

Pretty much ... raw converted to TIFF and pp'd in ACDSee Pro.

1600 can be quite usable but the degradation going to 3200 is very significant.
 
Recent pics from lunch on peninsula yesterday. Burlingame and San Meteo area. All shots taken w/ dp1m.

As a fan of abstract Blaz your approach to your image making fascinates me and it makes me consider my own approach and how much it differs to yours. You seem to be dealing with composition in a very painterly way as if your working on a canvas with oils, acrylics or whatever. I seem to be dealing in light and a combination of focus and out of focus elements but I think our aims have a lot in common.

I'm really enjoying your work. :)

I think you're absolutely right about our differences in approach. Mine's indeed not very photographic. I try to have the whole picture in focus and if possible I run away from the sun. Everything else is composition, colors, imagination and instinct.

I'm enjoying your work very much as well. Forgive me for cinematic comparison (I'm first of all a filmmaker), but your work in a way reminds me of Yasujiro Ozu. The themes are very common, at the surface pictures look simple to extreme, but if you take a closer look a whole world suddenly starts to uncover - with all its complexities, beauty and everything else that comes with it. You're subtle and that's a hell of a thing to be.
