ENTRY DESCRIPTION
"The beauty, harshness and
relentlessness of nature
inspire me the most. Film
is my medium for this."
Here I discovered a special beech tree, a red beech around 250 years old. It stands in a very open spot surrounded by the beautiful Eifel landscape not far from my home.

AUTHOR
Born 73 in the east of Germany!
"Growing up in the GDR, breaking down the walls with a Transformer"
Frankly spoken I'm absolutely self-taught and step by step with a lot of passion with patience and perseverance books and youtube, I stumbled into the medium of photography, around end of 2009 i start to work with 35mm old metal cameras like Voigtländer Vito II and a Voigtländer Bessamatic and have not stopped since. And as we know the life is a learning proces, so never stop! It is the one passion that keeps me going, keeps me moving forward, keeps me curious. Today I work almost exclusively with my workhorse Hasselbald 500cm
Trees in every shape in every time, fascinate me very much. Beech, pine, oak and many more exert a great attraction on me. Basically the nature that surrounds me in my habitat.
Through photography I manage to have the moment forever with me, around me in my home in a book on a wall in my livingroom or so, or to pass it on to other people when they discover something in my work, or are touched or inspired in a completely different way.
But in the end "what counts are the memories so the pictures on our wall or in our mind that make us dream"
I'm aware that there are endless species and fascinating places in this world, but it would be presumptuous to believe that I have the right to see all these places. We the people imagine that the earth belongs to us! However, this is a misconception! Nature does not care about humans at all, nature would be better off without us. That is how it is. So be grateful that you get to stay on this planet for a while.
