what pictures do I capture?

- whoever or whatever crosses my lens and raises my attention, touches my heart and soul, stimulates my imagination; plainly: whatever makes me feeling alive

- one magical attraction is the human face, it's expressions and mimic

- lately it became a pleasure to capture "colourful black & white images" in 256 shades of grey...
