This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

What an interesting topic! Yesterday I bought the book "My Name is Red" by the Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk. The novel provides an intriguing view on the role of the artist (is art selfish or divine?) and the endurability of art in the world. The year is 1591 and the main characters are miniaturists in the Ottoman Empire. The book is a historical novel, a murder mystery and a love story. Higly recommended!
