Soulimage
In real life you aren’t allowed to dream. Naiveté and strange behavior are frowned upon. The only thing that is tolerated is to make the right decision, wear clean clothes, never fail. You must act like a grown up — whatever that may mean. In our dreams we can do and say what ever we like. Nobody cares there. It’s a nice world, this dream world.
The Soulimage series is showing images that balance between the real world and the world of unrealistic places and events.
Most of the photographs of Soulimage are taken in and around my birthplace called Siegen, Germany. Siegen is a small town surrounded by beautiful wooded hills.
