My name is Oliver Grimm and I take pictures—all the time.
What are you doing now, exactly? And why is that?
It really got me. Late it got me. In my forties: I take pictures. Always. My family's getting very annoyed. That's why I'm going out on the streets. That's where I find my motifs. Uninhibited and unvarnished.
I'll shoot anything that catches my eye. Humans. And things. And people who look like things. And things that could be people. I do this digitally. And with real film. And cameras, which the older ones (Pardon) among you still know: Nikons, Minoltas, Voigtländers, Yashicas etc. In the meantime, I've even started to develop my own black-and-white films.
But that's not all...
What am I supposed to invest my money on?
You can see my pictures for free on the net - here (Si apre in una nuova finestra) and here (Si apre in una nuova finestra) and here (Si apre in una nuova finestra) and here (Si apre in una nuova finestra). Because I don't want to do this for myself anymore. In the end, it's also about someone else seeing what I saw. Sometimes I write blog posts about photography, the why and the how.
With a little financial support, I can experiment, practice, grow and improve my website.
I have many wishes: I want to become better. I would like to take photos in places other than Berlin. I would like to scan on a really good scanner (my is... well, it doesn't matter). I would like to shoot medium format. I want to do an exhibition. I want to release a zine. I want to try new cameras. I would like to take part in one or two paid contests
Your money—and that really doesn't have to be much —makes you a part of my pictures. With every Click. Click. Click.
