“All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.” (Richard Avedon)
Hello!
May I introduce myself briefly? My name is Dietmar Rabich and it is my passion to take photos. Here at Wikimedia Commons you can primarily see my photos, which are more suitable for documentation or educational purposes, but are also suitable for illustrations or other uses. In addition, photographic art – in terms of the application of creative techniques and stylistic devices – is intended to demonstrate the possibilities of photography and promote the joy of photography. My photos can now be seen in many places – in small exhibitions, office buildings, medical offices, numerous publications, and many other locations.
My approach to photography has evolved over the years. Both my technical skills and my creativity have improved. The photographers on Wikimedia Commons have helped me refine my technical skills, either directly or indirectly; unfortunately, creativity and creative photos are not a priority here. However, there are many other ways to continue developing my skills.
All of my pictures are licensed by a Creative Commons license so everybody can use it. I think this is a good way to give a picture of the world. But honestly I really don't like just copy images without respect to this kind of royalty.
I’m always looking for interesting places to take photographs, especially architecture, buildings or objects in a technical environment or landscapes. Old factory buildings, workshops, and unique cars are also appealing. If you know such a place, I’m thankful for every hint. Optimal is a place in the Münsterland or the northern Ruhr area – my practice is based primarily in Dülmen and Münster. A permission to make shots there and publish them with a free license must be feasible.
Donations? Thanks to the Creative Commons license under which my images are available here, there are no licensing fees. This makes it easy to use them. Nevertheless, the question keeps coming up as to whether there might be something one could do in return. I very much welcome this spirit of reciprocity. For those who absolutely want to offer something in return as a token of appreciation, I have a suggestion: Why not make a donation to a charitable cause — for education, to support social work or those who are socially disadvantaged, for environmental, nature, and climate protection, for the promotion of peace, freedom, and democracy, for gender equality, for respect for minorities, for human rights, or for efforts against racism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, ableism, classism, ageism, bodyism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, transphobia, linguicism, or all the other forms of discrimination and hostility. The possibilities are endless. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be money—just get involved. Be kind to one another. Or as Margot Friedländer said: “Be human!”
