Living in Germany. Creative teamworking with my wife, Xiane Sierocka-Stock (Her German poetry blog xiane-sierocka-stock.blogspot.com/ )

Barbara Stock is my real name and I simply do photography.

- I am not Barbara Stock, the American actress, and (thanks Goddess !!!)

I am not Barbara Stock, the American conservative republican columnist!

So I cannot autograph for the first , nor I do underline words of the second lady :-) If you want to contact one of my namesakes, do not sent your questions or complaints to me - just use google or another searchmachine to find their homepages :-))).

At the present, I mainly like to take photographies (macros) of all those animals I use to meet on my walks through the forests.

To take a picture of an insect does not mean to be a kind of capture to me - I prefer to get to the small creature as close as possible, try to initiate some kind of interaction with it, to get in touch with that tiny personality. And, sometimes, you can see it in the photography: the creature becomes as curious as me - or it decides to ignore me and show me it's back :-)

Please, respect the copyright for my photos. Some of them and other art works, too, are available at a professional online gallery which you can visit if you click on the following button. ArtWanted may also be a place for other flickr friends and fellow photographers/illustrators to get paid for their work.
