The picture above is only one of two taken with a zoom lens (in this selection).
When you're used to work with fast or ultra fast primes,
any zoom lens just feels like a poor crook for the undecided -
the lack of psychological definition, in terms of light gathering, optical disadvantages.
I'd prefer a shabby, 35 year old 50mm FD-prime over my 24-70 GM zoom lens anytime - except for
working in fully controlled environments such as studios, or other places with controlled light and flat backgrounds,
motion content shoots,
working under time pressure,
when scouting locations for projects.

Sharpness, as discussed on many photography sites, is a mean of definition.
In times of lesser free spaces in our world, photographers tend to follow the illusion that perfect corner to corner sharpness and perfect definition are advantages.
The human mind works the other way around.
Therefore unsharpness is artistic expression, directing the viewers perception.
When shooting wide open, you have to decide where to define the focal plane to point out the most important information.

Does color really add emotion?
In some cases, yes.
In other cases, colors diminish key information of an image.
Photography, like human perception, is a continuos process of balancing information.
In the following photograph, I could have easily cropped away the left part of the frame to achieve a more graphic result.
It would have taken the authenticity.

Grain contradicts well definition.
Grain is transcendent space.
Magic is hidden in the zeroing, there is no exception.
Grain in photography is very useful to the human perception as it reflects its essence and does not exceed its limits by too high definition.
Besides that, grain makes the essence of space visible: photons.
Space is photons.

As soon as you understand human emotion as a phase space
created by internal and external irritants interacting with imprinted information in every one of us,
photography turns into a powerful tool to document life.

The key to capturing interesting moments - in life, in staged situations - is the absence of inner and outer resistance.
Any photographer, filmmaker, artist can only create something truthful when letting go of inner and outer resistances.
This is when we excel as humans - in art, in science, in politics, in any human discipline.
The person(s) in front of your camera can only be authentic when doing the same.
When overcoming this threshold, the camera turns into a natural element of the interaction.

Amazing and touching (motion) pictures observe (emotional) transitions, changing states.
Leaving those transitions out means not being truthful to human life.
Life is continuous transition, not well defined states.
Well defined states (such as a photograph, a point in time, or 'one kilogram') are just human descriptions or definitions
of geometrical points within transcendent, ever changing flow structures.

All knowledge, all craft, all gear is useless when you become determined by analysis or start deconstructing the moment as it happens.
Key to potential maximization is here and now.
This means: letting go of your inner and outer resistances.
Resistances such as too complex thoughts reduce your abilities of perception.
They can be massive potential barriers when truly creating.

Photography, filmmaking, painting, music, speech and words - any human communication is based on our six senses (including equilibrioception).
Any human communication is based on principles of our minds, communication is a product of our capabilities.
Our consciousness, being an n-dimensional phase space, is physically located within on our body.
Every memory, any information, any thought, any dream is a potential individual dimension.

In the beginning, all information, all energy, all space of our Universe was concentrated in one singular point.
There is no information without space.
This principle is crucial to understand composition and rhythm in photography, in music, in storytelling, in life.

We as humans are defined by the imperfect.
Imperfection in art is truthful to life because it acknowledges the flow principle of the Universe.
Imperfection leaves the zeroing and therefore space for the recipient to interact with what you create - in any discipline you can imagine.
A perfect, clean image might be impressing on first sight but it reveals the limits of perception and therefore the limits of imagination of an artist.
Perfect, clean images age very quickly, they have no space to evolve with the viewer.

The last image is my personal 2016 favorite.
It was taken during an event at Babelsberg Film Studios in spring 2016 with a 50mm prime at f/1.2.
I renamed it "Curiosity" due to its essence.

The above photograph might reveal parts of my personality.
My sometimes childish curiosity towards life,
my sometimes putting my feet on risky grounds in order to be able to look beyond the horizon,
my gift to be able to see life from a different and sometimes absolute singular point of view.

My personal 2016 shortlist.
I decided for the most authentic, the most unique, the most beautiful photographs and reduced a first selection of more than 100 pictures to 30.
The most important key to art might be the reduction of information, the exclusion of less important things.
This process begins even before choosing the frame.
