ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This photo was taken on a beautiful summer morning in year 2022 at sunrise on the beach in Kolberg, Poland. An ND filter (10 stop) was used to achieve a long time exposure. I wanted to represent the calm that this wonderful morning had reflected in me. The waves came very silent and leisurely on the beach. It was remarkable to see how quiet and relaxed the seagulls greeted this morning and enjoyed the rising sun. A wonderful stillness could be felt, which filled me for a long time that day.

AUTHOR
A photograph is always a snapshot. So taking a picture is the apparent result of stopping time. To freeze this, so to speak, and thus the attempt to preserve it.

In times of digitalization and hectic activity, we experience a constant overload of stimuli. Very few people take the time to look at something not just in passing or in passing, but fully and with all their senses.

This rushing and running prevent us from recognizing what is essential. Time to pause, time to reflect, time to meet others, but also time to meet ourselves is becoming increasingly important.

Photographs illustrate the transience of moments. Some opportunities only come once in life. You let them pass or not. It is up to us to use our time wisely.
