Intro: DEAR FRIENDS:
Update May 16th 2008
I AM TAKING A "SABBATICAL" FROM THE COMPUTER!
We are off on our VIENNA HOLIDAY very soon - over 5 glorious weeks - and hope to come back refreshed and loaded up with multi-giga bytes of images!
A week after returning from Europe, we will head to Montreal for a TrekLens Meet - talk about busy!
In the meantime I wish everyone a GREAT SUMMER with lots of picture opportunities!
Thanks everyone for your critiques and support.
WE'LL BE BACK!!!!!
Cheers
Otto



About Myself

I am foremost a painter. Photography is an art form that I am only now starting to explore beyond it's use as support to my paintings, drawings and prints. I am relatively new to Digital Photography and Post-Production work. I am hoping to learn from everyone here, and really welcome critiques.
I have a webpage "Art Of The Mystic Otto Rapp" you are welcome to visit. Links to my other sites can be found here.

I am again entering the new Saachi Gallery showdown with my artwork.
Link to the updated page (there is a new competition every two weeks): Please vote for me!


My wife Christan is also a member, presenting a different view of some of the scenes we shoot together.
Recently, my son has also joined TrekLens.
I used to borrow my wife's digital on occasions, but have now bought my own DSLR camera (after a lifetime of shooting film).

Thank you for watching
Cheers

Otto Rapp

Favorite quote, and philosophy when critiquing work by others:
"There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in" - Leonard Cohen

Something to think about: The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us. - Bill Watterson

I never make notes. I pride myself having a razorsharp memory. Particularly when quoting people who agree with me!

I've been asked many times whether I take drugs. Quoting Dali's "I am the drug" is an old chestnut. For me, it's more like that this is the way I perceive the world around me. In order to see it the way everyone else does, I'd have to take drugs!
