What is a Bilderbeutel?
This site addresses everyone who enjoys pictures that are not so clean as many of the profi photos. But we have clean pictures as well. This site is for all who like pictures and like to connect thoughts with pictures. The pictures here are manifold in intent, content and technical quality.

Image + Text
It is our interest to experiment with images and words/text, to put them in relation. You'll find nonsense here like for example "the scummy attempt", but serious things too. Also with the blogs, there is seriousness and sillyness, adroitness and sobriety, like for example "Landnahme" under the topic "Ich >< Welt" (language like blogged).

The Laboratory
is a section that we use for experiments, but where – among other things – also detailed statistics regarding the collection and the website can be viewed.

Anonymous or by author uploading
You can publish your pictures fast and simple, by upload or by email. You don't need to provide any additional information, but we encourage users to mention their names (or nicknames) and add notes, stories, reminiscenses to uploaded pictures.
Scanned "paper" photos (even old and very old) are very welcome too.

Copyright
If you send or upload pictures, you automatically grant the permission to publish these pictures in the context of the Bilderbeutel Collection with no time limit and at no cost. The picture authors' copyright of the published pictures remains untouched. If you do not provide your name and location, the pictures' author is assumed anonymous.

If you contribute pictures, please make sure that you do not violate copyrights of others. You are entitled to send pictures if you have produced them yourself, if you obtained the permission of the author or of the copyright holder, if you are his/her official guardian/patron, or if you have acquired the copyright.

Content
We collect private photos of all kind. The focus is on privately produced photographs, like photos with friends and family, portraits, pictures taken on travels, trips, holidays and sightseeing, pictures of animals, snapshots, couriosities, grotesque, fun, erotic (no porn), color, historic sites and objects, etc.

Pictures
We want to allow visitors of Bilderbeutel to contribute pictures in an easy way, without great expectations and uninhibited.

The collection lives of the fast production and from the quick availability of digital pictures which normally disappear as fast as they came. Bilderbeutel is an opportunity to immortalise a minuscule fraction of these enormous quantities of private pictures which reflect some aspects of human life and our world, by sharing them in a public collection.

Categorization
Although Bilderbeutel can be seen as an archive, the presentation/publication of its collection is the intention and not documentational aspects.

That is reflected by the categorization, which is kept adaptive and simple. We do not primarily order by author, year, etc. as the vast majority of the pictures is anonymous anyway. We order and categorize exclusively by content, by what the pictures show.

However, pictures provided by registered contributors can be viewed by authors.
