Intro: About Myself

I am foremost a painter. Photography is an art form that I am started to explore beyond it's use as support to my paintings, drawings and prints only a few years ago. Since then, I have found working in photoshop quite amusing, and found applications useful to quickly work out ideas for my more 'traditional' artwork.
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 continue entering the Saachi Gallery showdown with my artwork (contest-addict).
Find the link to the updated page on my Website Journal (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!
