SECRETS, UNTOLD

This series is dedicated to the mysterious aura that some buildings and places in photographs have in my perception.

I sometimes find myself thinking about the secrets they might hold, like an understanding observer who captures the different moods of his visitors: happiness, laughter, tears, gloom and hope - or untold secrets.

Buildings might tell their stories: mysterious - at second glance and behind the scenes. They know magically and peacefully about all the people who sat there, walked along, climbed the stairs, were amazed, laughed, cried. They know about stories full of curves and edges.
