Climbing and Photography
Climbing and photography has always been something with much in common for me. I started climbing because of moments i had out in the mountains i came to bouldering because of the feeling of being in the moment, with the flow, this stage where you forget everything around you. It was always about the intensity. With photography it was something similar. As a photographer, different to a filmmaker, you are also searching for THE special moment, for the particular look in the face or the perfect frame of a dyno. You are working a whole day to get is one instant of a second where everything is perfect. And also most of the time as a photographer i have to go with the flow as well, reacting on what is happening. Photography as well as difficult climbing always has been something between well- planned and something totally unplanned, what creates the most special moments. So enjoy this little pic from a bouldering area nearby my hometown, a try to get into the moment.
