"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." -- St. Augustine
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain
"Not all those who wander are lost." -- J. R. R. Tolkien
So what can I tell you about myself?
I currently live in Frankfurt, Germany, but have spent a considerable part of my adult life living in Sydney, Amsterdam, Shanghai and Taipei.
As a travel addict and self-proclaimed global citizen I have travelled the world extensively and had the privilege to visit 80 countries on all 6 continents. Being an avid photographer, this naturally provided me with lots of opportunities to capture the cities, landscapes, people and wildlife of our planet in all their diversity.
My photostream is still a work in progress and so far only a very small percentage of the photos from my travels are online. But I’ll continue to update it whenever I find the time.
In the meantime, thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoy my photos.

One of the best-considered and judicious documentations of world travel that I have ever encountered. The variety is spectacular, and the photography creative and original - not a dud even among so many fine photographs. You must carry so much within yourself from seeing and documenting all these intriguing places! What a planet we all share! How few travel and see it, and document it as well as you have! Thank you - from one now too old and lazy to travel!

Hi Jochen. Beautiful and excellent photographs. Your gallery is wonderful. I will take my time to visit and admire each capture.
I agree with you about seeing the world as you did, however, I have only seen a much smaller part of it when I was young. Estados Unidos, Canada and Mexico. If I were to gaze on those massive structures and Monstrous Churches, I believe my heart would race until it exploded. This is also a tribute to your great photogr… Read more
I agree with you about seeing the world as you did, however, I have only seen a much smaller part of it when I was young. Estados Unidos, Canada and Mexico. If I were to gaze on those massive structures and Monstrous Churches, I believe my heart would race until it exploded. This is also a tribute to your great photography that captures just that. An overwhelming sense of awe, unbelievable awareness of how small and greatness of the human race. If everyone could see what we can do in a positive state of mind as you have shown perhaps it could be a better place. Thank you so much for the follow or I may not 'ave found your treasurable phototastic works of camera artistry that only a master could capture. I will bookmark your site and be back many times again. Your works are too beautiful to just pass by. Immensely Captivated, jimmy lanzetta, Grazie
