I always loved to take pictures.

I started with a cheap point and shoot camera when I was about 8 years old.

My first 35mm camera was a gift from my uncle Walter, thank you again, which I had for a couple of years until it was stolen in Istanbul. Then the first SLR camera came along.

At the beginning of this millenium I lost track of photography as my work kept my quite busy and also with the dawning age of the digital cameras I did not quite know where to go.

Then in late 2004 I bought a compact digital camera and I discovered the love for photography once again.

Soon there was the desire for something better and so I purchased a Nikon DSLR camera. Now I was back on track and my equipment grew as I moved to Hong Kong.

Finally in 2008 I was back to film again, the only real thing for photos in my opinion.

I love to take pictures with digital and analog cameras. At the moment most of my photos are shot with a Leica and Hasselblad 500CM - I just love the basics.

I use slide,color and black and white film, as well, sometimes, I shot with a digital camera or even a mobile phone. I don't want to restrict myself but to keep this photo stream consistent there will be no mobile phone uploads.

I´m originally from Tirol, Austria but since 2006 I´m living in Hong Kong.

If you are going to be using my photographs in anyway you must contact me first.

It's just common courtesy. I'll be more than happy to work with you in using my work. I just like being aware of it first.
