I try to photograph with my mind, heart, and soul in combination. As I live in Berlin, and as "Urban Exploration / Lost-Place" my central Theme, I search for such places as abandoned Factories, Barracks, Airports, through to Old Hunting Lodges and Castles - all in a very wide radius from home. As well as the old, i love the new around me, whether in the City or out of it, everything fascinates me , but the charm of a crumbling ruin brings my creativity to the fore, and my eye in sharp focus. I especially love the way Nature slowly takes places back under her control... it is all so Magical.

And it is not how good or expensive a camera one has, a good picture has more to do with the honesty and respect that you want to capture in that moment.... and no Weather is bad, evey change brings with it a mood or colour, briilance, or dimming.That is also an honesty to the picture that i try to capture -Snow, Rain,clouds of doom, Swealtering Heat, they all make a picture special. . . . .REAL PHGOTOHRAPHS are drawn from the heart of the one that is there, with the feel and the eye for the essential and the ephemeral.
