| Intro: | DEAR FRIENDS: Update July 1st 2008 Back from Holidays in Austria, a short breather at home, and off we go to Montreal on July 6th. In Vienna, I took 9GB of pics, Christan over 6GB, so there is lots of editing going to happen (and fighting over computer time and space, lol). Would imagine we return with a ton of images from Montreal also. Then there is e-mail catch-up and other sites to maintain ..... 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 Saachi Gallery showdown with my artwork. 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! O.R. 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!
