Learned some painful news that we recently lost an amazing artist and true gentlemen within the flickr community. Horst Bernhart, known as hb19 shared with us a trademark style and a creative process he made with a simple point and shoot camera. His humorous and charismatic approach seemed to envelope his personalty into the images he made. Whether giving us updates of the “Adventures of Woody and Chip” or a morning coffee run to Mcdonald’s, his expressive vision was one of a kind.
If his work hasn’t crossed your radar… I encourage you to browse his collections and see the possibilities of a little ingenuity with common everyday surroundings.
As for me- Horst was a daily source of inspiration within these creative confines of flickr. My deepest condolences go out to the family. He will be dearly missed as an artist and friend.
