Jan (Winkler), ok no problem. I also recently removed some pictures from my ball-saal account so could well be some of the ones you liked are no longer there... ;-) But still if you find the time it would just be interesting for me to know which ones you were talking about.

Anyway, about the "common thing". I am a bit hesitant to write too much about this as I don't want to influence too much by words what people see in the pictures. But the main idea I guess is that I look for "everyday" things, objects etc. in the world and turn them into something else by photographing them. For me these pictures are records of those things but at the same time they work in a more abstract way, as metaphors. For example, in the [oska] pictures there's a massive tree and a thin wire is attached to it, while the [oleg] picture shows a slim pole that has wires inside. So these are the recorded facts, but also they could have meaning beyond that. For me they are about some things and how they are connected to something else and their environment... the tree or the pole or the wire could be any other thing - or person, or thought... It could mean anything or nothing, really. Quite hard to write about this for me, I hope I don't sound like a complete lunatic. ;-) Also colors and structures are important links for me, I think the patterns of the clouds and grass in the first two pictures look similar. Or the yellow in [fugl] and [oska]. Could be I'm asking too much of the viewer, as I said it's hard to judge I see and what I can expect others to see in my pictures.
