Abstract arts lover, Jazz enthusiast, mystery buff, compulsive reader - and how do I get it all into pictures? Photography has been a good way over the last couple of years.1. .

Feeling Yourself Disintegrate

24/09/202124/09/2021 Tobias M. SchielLeave a comment

Love in our life is just too valuable
Oh, to feel for even a second without it
But life without death is just impossible
Oh, to realize something is ending within us

Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate

As much as visiting museums inspires me, light is most often the ultimate reason for taking a shot; and it’s as often the light that decides whether I share a photo or not: This is my contribution for this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #160: Your Inspiration.
