The human eye is one of the biggest blessings God has bestowed upon us. It enables us to behold, memorize and replay our experiences over and over again. Technology has ensured that the experiences of the eye remain preserved for us all to ponder upon at various stages of our lives. The camera, a human invention for an eye, has been around for many a years, thus materializing ones memories and drawing inspiration.
Ralph Graef, a German photographer, used his incredible skills to capture some of the most breath taking images ever seen. One cannot help but marvel at the wonderful pictures that Graef presents.
Who doesn’t want a train ride amidst fog in a beautiful landscape? The smoke and sound emanating from the engine, the whiz of cold wind and sceneries that defy paradise; this picture takes us into a magical world where fantasize of being aboard the train that is speeding ahead towards its destination. Another picture shows a soccer field covered in snow. Soccer is he most loved sport globally, and no matter what the weather, if it needs to be played, it is played. The picture shows two goal posts opposite to each other with a football lying in the foreground.
When in need of calm and peace, what has a better effect than a silent and beautiful lake? The sun after its tiring day of providing warmth and light, going to slumber, leaving its effects on the horizon. Two swans reciting their silent vows of love and the moon just beginning to show itself. This particular picture casts a magical spell that soothes the nerves and takes you to a world of dreams.

When people build homes, they actually construct their dreams. You need to find peace at home and you do whatever you can to make your home as beautiful and comfortable as you can. Another picture by Graef shows a beautiful chandelier fixed on a very artistic ceiling.
Life is a journey and no matter how long the journey is, you have to take steps and make strides to complete it. Two of Graef’s photographs show a man clad in suit and hat embarking on a seemingly endless journey. These photographs urge us to keep going on in life. Another picture shows a mutilated basketball court. It is how we conceive the gist of the photograph upon seeing it. To some, it might be an abandoned court left to be a termite fest; but to some, it depicts the countless hours of playing to excel at the sport one loves.
Graef’s photography is an inspiration to budding photographers and to all who ave an eye for
creativity.
