Hello and welcome to my website.
I´m an amateur photographer based in Dortmund, Germany.
My photos were snatched over the years during forays into the world.
Enjoy,

Thoughts on Photographs
Vignetting
I never vignet my photographs.
Vignetting means to fade out unwanted parts of a photograph to draw the attention of the viewer to the main subject of the photograph.
Every time I see vignetting in other people´s photographs, I cringe. A photograph is always made worse by a vignette.
If parts of a photograph can be faded out, then they don´t belong to that photograph.
Image Format
Why are photographs rectangular ? Rectangular things are easy to manufacture and transport. That's it ?
Earth, Cameras, and me
The world is an amazing place, 5.4 billion years old and 3.5 billion years of evolution. Then there are these modern cameras, which are nothing short of wizadry. With that in mind I'm always hesitant to claim, I "created" an image. I´m only the middleman.
