# 02 - Reach
// Uncertain if to upload this I showed it to my closest friend and some others asking for "help", wondering if to show these or not, obvious reasons (not my original material, which is one of my principles when it comes to working on images).
He -close to my work and heart- said the fact that this was taken from a screen and did not "happen" to me simly takes from the pictures, makes him feel less, weakens their impact. These images are "fake".

*

So, I considered his words. And something made click. That's what it is about. They are not real. Almost impossible to be done for real (polaroids that deep under water? in that surrounding? in the middle of it? echnically and in general a freak idea) and so far only bridgable through a compromise.
Until some freak makes it happen.
Or not.

So..not a concept, really, not art, not anything, but a compromise. And a crazy little wish that makes me smile. Which might stay impossible. But this gives alot to me already. So what. :-)

//Crop out of wide sccreen images, searching, waiting, experimenting with light/dark through the screen angel (laptop), close-up lense, playing with closenesses, especially experimenting with movement/longexposur e (fishswarms , silhouettes etc.)//

*in some images you see birds and fish mingled in the water; which sure emphasises the topic so well. Impossible, eh? :-)
