Dear visitor, thanks for stopping by!

This is a selection of photographs I have taken throughout the last years and continue today. I am a biologist by training, an avid traveler, and an amateur photographer with rather limited photographic equipment, based in Düsseldorf and Cologne, Germany. My pictures are posted after minimal post-processing only. You will find a lot of nature/animal and landscape photography, some underwater shots from dives, and also the odd streetshot and cityscape, or shot with people that I find interesting. None of the pictures I do are arranged, no animal was fotographed in a zoo or aquarium, but instead in the wild. Instead, I try to capture the moment. You will find more recent pictures, shot with different digital cameras, and also scanned slides from my analog past.....

Enjoy the pictures, and come back soon as I will try to fill more and more of the blank spots on my world map to add to the posted pictures. Please leave critical comments, positive and negative - I really appreciate all the feedback!

Have fun and come back soon!
