It does not matter how old it is, all pictures I have taken are brand new, I've never seen them before." This is interesting. For almost all the pictures I have taken I can say: I have seen them somewhere before. Mostly they existed in my head before they came onto film. Some of them were in my head for years before I shot them, some for just a few seconds. Well, I have to admit, some did not come out quite as I had expected, yet they were not quite new. I have loads of pictures in my head that I know exactly how to take when the opportunity arises, and I hope I will get them on a 35 mm negative some day. What about you: are your pictures planned/preconceived or not? Does it make them better or not? - -- christer almqvist eichenstrasse 57, d-20255 hamburg, fon +49-40-407111 fax +49-40-4908440 14 rue de la hauteur, f-50590 regnéville-sur-mer, fon+fax +33-233 45 35 58
