waiting for the right light


Last weekend I spend an hour and an half waiting in my granny's house to wait for the right light. Well it wasn't of course my grandmother's house, it's actually the niece of my grandmother. But I call her also my granny. She has this great interior, really makes me feel wander through past time. She lives in a village in Niederosterreich and I had seen two weeks before this beautiful light coming through the trees, making a shadowpattern from the curtain onto the cupboard.
It would be the last photograph in a serie of five. In which an embroided text connects with the emptiness in the images. It tells the story of my greatgranmother missing her child which stayed in Holland after she was in a childtransport from Vienna to Rotterdam.
I shot with my small camera some other pictures to make time go faster. It took awhile, but finally the shadows where visible on the cupboard...
The final print (50x60) I made last week and this weekend I brought it back to Niederosterreich where it will embroided. It's by the way not the photographs that I put up here.
