Images Of The Subconscious: October 2013

I've published these images before on other websites. Today I thought it was the right time to put them on this blog and use the opportunity to add captions.

Psychedelic Vienna #1

Karlskirche (St. Charles's Church) blends with Schoenbrunn Palace.

Psychedelic Vienna #2

Twice the Donaukanal ("Danube Canal") and once the Rossauer Kaserne ("Rossauer Barracks"). This image is the result of me spending a whole afternoon in one certain area of Vienna and exposing one cartridge two times with pictures of (more or less) the same motif, thus reducing to the absolute minimum what I consider the two main dimensions of organic random photography - namely
a) time elapsed between the two "takes" and
b) variations in motif.

Psychedelic Vienna #3 / L'Empire Des Lumières #3

Same story as with #2. I certainly stole the title from Magritte. Just in case you wondered why this is not only "#3" of a series of slightly surrealistic images taken in Vienna but also of a series of "empires of light": please allow me to enlighten you right here and right now :-)

Psychedelic Vienna #4 - Painting Dreams

A colleague at work becomes part of a graffito that is just being sprayed.

Psychedelic Vienna #5 - Night & Day

Once more the Danube Canal times two, once in bright daylight and once at night.

Psychedelic Vienna #6 - The Escape

Thomas and the famous "Riesenrad".

Psychedelic Vienna #7 - The Sound Of "Musik"

Schoenbrunn Palace and a "zither" which I found at Vienna' s biggest flea market (the "Naschmarkt") make their way into the same image. The name is actually the song title of one of the few modern Austrian artists that enjoy(ed) global success: Falco.
