Fresh Moods feat. Schlegelmilch Photography - Solarcell - The Golden Age of Formula 1

Statement by Peter Haubfleisch

In 2006 I decided to have a creative break by practising music as a profession. In order to do something useful with my time I was looking for a 'normal' job and started to work as a photo technician in a prestigious atelier for nearly four years. Another part of the job was to also supervise the professional photographers equipment.
One day I had to check and clean a nearly new large equipment set. I was impressed about the look of the roughly used bodies and objectives. They had an enormous number of releases in a very short time. I asked myself: Who is working so hard without taking better care of his tools? Doesn't he respect the expensive hi-tech, or is this large gear really in the hands of a creative photographer? Is his only aim to just do the best picture?
The owner was Rainer W. Schlegelmilch. The next time I searched briefly through the net and found his online archive. Unbelievable, he takes car racing pictures since 1962! I found thousands of pictures filled with captured energy and emotion. You have to know that I was always looking for classic cars since my childhood - and at the moment I am a proud owner of a classic Lotus car.

At the same time I began to think about a return into the music scene. I would like to start with a remastered edition of my project called "Fresh Moods". To be clearly recognisable, the LPs and EPs should get new cover images with nearly the same colour selection of the first releases since 1996. A new idea grew in my mind. Why not combining both worlds? Would Rainer W. Schlegelmilch allow me to use some of his pictures as cover images? I wanted to get to know him, anyway!
I whispered my idea to Volker Graf, a friend of mine and formerly owner of a photo shop. He told me that he knows this photographer personally and that he would help me to bring us together. First I talked to his son Boris Schlegelmilch, who is also working as a photographer and editor. How life goes! He is a fan of chill out music and already knew some of my first releases used on the German TV format "Space Night" on BR3 TV.

Dear Mr. Schlegelmilch,
Thank you for your permission to use some of your beautiful pictures. As a further consideration I have produced this second slideshow, to show our combined work as devoted artists.

Combine different worlds to generate something new. Fast cars & slow beats.

Dear visitors, we hope you enjoy the music and the pictures!

Regards,

Peter Haubfleisch
