Since the late 1700s my family has lived in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, but in the late 70’s my dad left and joined the Navy. Growing up, we never went back to Vermont, but I always imagined this magical place, some sort of Thomas Cole/Norman Rockwell mashup, with mountains and rivers and lakes, and where kids could ride their bikes to the village store.
In 2010, I moved to upstate New York, within easy driving distance, and began photographing this world I had so often imagined but never experienced. (mehr …)

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean.
It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.
Within Greg Girard’s amazing body of work we are especially fascinated by his early photographs, compiled under the name „In the Near Distance“.
The wonderful book (84 pp., Illustrated thoughout, 8×11) was published in 2010 by Kominek Books Berlin.
„In the Near Distance 1973-86 is the document of Greg Girard’s early wanderings, the adolescent search for prospects and aims: nocturnal street sceneries, portraits of “sailors and friends”, images of creatures of the night and hotel rooms. In addition to black-and-white-materials Girard mainly used color slides during those years – and thus adds a new and important body of work to the color photography of the seventies. (mehr …)
„As night falls on Buenos Aires, the city’s cartoneros comb the streets collecting the recyclables. Most pull simple two-wheeled carts and walk their route day after day, piling the carts high above their heads and wheeling them to the recycling centers. There they collect for their work, slowly scrounging together a living using the city’s waste. (mehr …)
Experimental Relationship (2007- Now)
„As a woman, I used to think I can only fall in love with someone that I adore, who is maturer than me, older than me, a protector, a mentor. (mehr …)
„From the air, the expansive wheat fields of Western Australia are an impressive sight. But this view belies a darker side, much of this country struggles with drought and salinity. (mehr …)
„These images are a selection of work from 2009 – 2011. My photography and photomontage pieces come from personal exploration and childhood superstitions documented from behind closed doors. I shoot within the familiar walls of home and surroundings working often in the tightest corners or crouched low to the floorboards.
I want to communicate with my own ghosts, to produce and document a voice that others might recognize. (mehr …)
“I think my photography is a game, or a role play, somewhere placed between arts and reality – with an artwork that ideally lures the viewer into a realm of untold stories. And what the viewer might discover by entering this realm, is a little bit about people and their relationships to each other, a little bit about arts and perception, a little bit about the world and how we see the world – but foremost I hope that the viewer learns a lot about himself.” (mehr …)
