Lebenskünstler, the "life-artist"

September 08, 2021 in journal

I absolutely loved the meaning of this German word.

While it refers to a way of approaching life in general, it's also something I try to apply to my photography: embracing whatever place and situation I might be in as an opportunity to create an image.

Let's all be a bit more lebenskünstler.
