Blade scratches, Lake Pilsen, Bavaria, Germany

Ice Hockey on Lake Pilsen

One year ago the winter was quite hard and cold – the opposite to the current spring temperatures – when I shot a series of pictures on a frozen lake close to my home. People enjoyed running on ice skates, playing ice hockey, sailing or just walking and drinking some hot wine. I created a blurred and kind of surrealistic series and reduced the information in the picture and made it more abstract while I now got back to one of the picture working completly different. Instead blurring and reducing I emphasized, let’s say, maximized all the little details so that the scratches from the blades make the picture.
