White walls make small fragments appear larger, are modern, but also a little soulless.
What are we hanging up?
The hodgepodge of snapshots is fading away.
The youngsters are embarrassed about the paddling pool photos, shot by grandpa in series, devastating for the teenage image.
The day-care tricks have long been banished to the parents' bedroom.
Even the big ones see themselves critically in the family pictures, from year to year less hair, more wrinkles, more pounds, nope, down with the embarrassing gallery.
The family court meets strictly: photos are sharply censored, the word “right to one's own image” is viciously presented.
Shots that everyone likes are rare, four make it into the final selection and are discreetly placed in the same frame in the square on the staircase.

The whole,Quite original decorators - attention, irony - hang the roaring deer or the dark-skinned, curly-haired beauty in a gold frame over the sofa.
Creative people use brushes and canvas themselves to beautify their home. Sometimes so much enthusiasm for creativity gives birth to surprising originals that the layman seriously asks why these pictures didn't make it into the museum. A heroine story among friends took its course - a visitor admired the pictures, who in turn knew a gallery owner. A small career as an artist picked up speed. That should be the exception of the exception. The experiments are often nightmares in acrylic: oversized apples on a sloping bowl, a sunset in screaming pink, a terrible Van Gogh copy. Desert lines, wild lines - "that was the phase when I separated from Klaus-Dieter". It must have been a very, very unfortunate time. Back to the beginnings. Then rather stare at bare walls.Allegedly there are hardly any pictures hanging with the buddies. Instead, there is a huge flat screen, swiveling, as big as a cinema. “That would be my favorite picture,” says the youngest member of the household.
