I have been taking photographs for several decades and actively started this hobby at the age of 12.

After years of using heavy camera equipment with a tripod, the cameras I used became lighter and lighter.

I realised early on that it is more valuable to capture the moment and the situation.

It's better to take a technically imperfect photo than a technically perfect one if you don't have a camera with you again.

Nowadays, I only take digital photos with my smartphone because you almost always have it with you.

From time to time, I borrow other cameras from friends and take photos with them too.

In 2024, I started scanning my many thousands of slides.

These albums are constantly being expanded in the analogue realm.

All photos in my stream and my gallery may not be reproduced, copied, edited, published, passed on or uploaded in any way without my permission.

If anyone feels harassed by my photos of people, please write to me via Flickr.

I will then remove the photo in question.

Greetings

Martin
