Paths My paths are a starting point. They are a collection of the fascination I feel when I discover them... Paths hide a thousand possibilities; they can open up a new path or close another.

Josef Dapra is an Austrian photographer born in 1922.

Digital photography made it possible to get results that match expectations.…
