I made my first steps in photography at the age of about 8 years. While preparing for a school trip, I asked my dad, whether I could borrow his camera. It was one the good old Kodak cameras without any automatic adjustment at all. My dad gave it to me and roughly explained how to use it. On a small piece of paper I drew three symbols: a sun, a sun behind a cloud, and a group of clouds. Behind the symbols I wrote: 125, 11 - and so on.

For this website I selected several of my favorite photographs of the last few years. They are just a very small part of my experiments, and I hope you will enjoy looking at them. May the spirit of photography hug and embosom you.
