When I began photographing in May 2006, I didn't know what way I'll go, had no idea what to kind of motifs I prefer, no experience in photographing.

I just wanted to go out of my 4 walls to see the world with new eyes.

I bought an analog NIKON F-801 and some lenses and began - like a child finding it's feet....

 

Meanwhile some things have changed:

- I use a digital camera

- I have a little be more experience

- I am the leader of a photo group

  

Thank you for visiting my stream.

Hands down, the best photographer on flickr. His lines, composures and crops are beyond perfect. I anticipate his next upload. Amazing.

His photostream is a great body of work and well worth exploring.

Der Stream ist voller Kreativität, nicht nur grafisch sehr gut, mit großartigen Minimalismen, sondern sehr vielfältig und abwechslungsreich, die Themenvielfalt ist inspirierend. Irgendwas in Crosslens' Visualhirnwindungen ist immerzu aktiv und kreativ, komponiert sichtbare Zusammenhänge, hebt hervor, was zunächst achtlos da liegt, trennt heraus, um zu verdeutlichen, separiert das Rechts und Links abenso wie das Vorne und Hinten. Immer ist eine Idee erkennbar, ein Gestaltungsgedanke. Insgesamt ist es stets ein ungeheures Vergnügen, den Photostream anzuklicken.

Everytime I open Ralf's photostream I feel a need to design a "Fave All" button to be added to flickr. Minimalism, simplicity and elegance in his photos make me addicted to his artwork. I wish you a lot of success in the future, your talent is worth it!! ;)
