Hi Valerie, hi Marco,
I write my comment in german, because it is much easier for me, and I think, if necessary, you, Marco, can translate it easily.
Mir hat es Spass gemacht Eurem Gespräch zu lauschen, und die Ideen, die ihr im Lockdown entwickelt habt, sind wirklich inspirierend.
Ich denke gerne in Projekten und Sammlungen. Für dieses Jahr habe ich mir ein 52 Wochen Projekt vorgenommen und freue mich nach nun 5 Bildern noch sehr daran. Die Fotos sind nicht alle FinArt-Prints, aber ich beschäftigte mich mit der Fotografie. So habe ich in den ersten Wochen schon Langzeitaufnahmen und Fotos im Regen gemacht. Diese Zeit ist neben dem Ergebnis von hoffentlich 52 schönen Fotos, auch ein wenig Erholung.
Ich freue mich auf mehr Camera & Inspiration -Folgen!

Moin Marco, was mich motiviert in die Stadt zu gehen und zu fotografieren? Kunstausstellungen, öffentliche Ereignisse, wie der 1.Mai, Fridays for Future beispielsweise, oder einfach „nur“ die Suche nach neuen Blickwinkeln.
Schönen Sonntag
Stefan

My motivation to shoot is often the light - I'm much more likely to head out with my camera if there's the promise of some beautiful light to create dramatic light and shade. For times when the light isn't inspiring I have ongoing projects to keep me motivated. At the moment this is an exploration of pinhole photography (I shot at least one new pinhole shot each day in January and several times a week since then) - today's mini project within this was some close ups of the beautiful spring flowers in our garden. I haven't tried using a pinhole camera for street photography yet, but plan to experiment with this when we're allowed out onto the streets again!

does it count when I've only done street photography 2 or 3 times in my life and I don't shoot anymore? :D the reason I really like street photography was my motivation to go and try. all the people, lights/shadows, high contrast & random coincidences that happen on the streets.

My motivation to shoot is just about anything. I have a long standing project capturing life in the small historic village in which I live. I also have a collection of old vintage cameras and love to shoot them. One day I might be shooting landscapes with my Fuji XT3 and the next I might be shooting street with a 1939 Graflex Speed Graphic. I guess you could say my motivation is life in general. I’ve been a photographer for 47 years so its just what I do 😀
