My interest in photography goes back to early high school days. My very first diary contained the "account" of the exploits of a peer who had bought a camera for the first time. A few years later, I bought a box camera and when I was 25, a real mirror reflex. Although I did not always photograph actively, mainly because of the lack of a darkroom, I have always been fascinated by beautiful pictures. And whether these are landscapes, portraits, street photos or any other discipline: I like a photo to hold my attention for longer. Since I discovered digital photography a few years ago, I have been enthusiastically active again. And I hope that my photos also manage to hold the attention of others every now and then.
