    Welcome, Stephan! Some great pictures, I’m just a bit puzzled about the edit and sequencing of the series..

    Absolutely delicious photographs; some stopped me and dropped my jaw they engaged me so.

    I think your strength is to aesthet-icise (a made up word I suppose) simple things to such and extent they are enchanted, some of the shots (especially 6 & 8) really let this moody effort stay intact as some of the shots are too instructive in nature verses moving.

    I can’t wait to see more photographs from you.

    Welcome Stephan! I love your series. I remember it from the forum posts.

    Good morning everybody

    Thank you very much for your welcome.

    Eva. Ok. You mean the quality? I know…. I will show you some prints in Winterthur. Why are you puzzled about the sequencing? Well. The first one can stand alone without the other pictures. But the rest show the daily routine. First collect the animals an bring them in the byre(?) to milk them. After a first coffee she began to make cheese. Then she had breakfest. Part of the daily work is also to care the cheeses. In the evening she brought the cows back to the byre to milk them a second time. When there is no acute thunderstorm the cows are abroad the hole night.

    Thank you Joe. Your opinion is very interesting.
    It is very difficult to make not cliché photographs. All the activities are hard work. But most of the people don’t know this life anymore. For me this world is nothing special because the valley down of this alp is my homeland. But I’m sure that most of Swiss people don’t knok a lot of this very hard work. They don’t know from the handcraft when they eat cheese.

    Have a nice day.

    Stephan

    Stephan, no, not the quality, I seem to remember that you pushed the film? Lightconditions weren’t easy I guess, but that’s not what I talk about. Yes, that first shot, seems weird that it is the first one.. and some of what you write I’d like to see in pictures (for example the milking), and have perhaps less pictures of the collecting of the cows.. more about what happens over a few more days.. we’ll talk next week, looking forward to meet you!
