The Photos
My active interest in
photography began in 1972. During the summer, when
traveling through Spain for 3 months, I
came to
realize, as said by Susan
Meiselas,"that
the camera is an excuse to be some place you otherwise
don't belong".
For more than
40
years
my interest has mainly been candid, street and
documentary photography.
In a very
direct way
the photos show people, mainly city people and their
surroundings. The persons
are very
often being photographed without
knowing it. I do it openly, discreet and tactful
and try to
give the
photos a straight appearance, which makes them
unusual.
In recent years, however, I have become interested in wild
life photography,
especially birds. (Check out Other Stories).

SLR, MILC, compact camera and iPhone. My
first camera was a

and a 24-70 mm zoom.
