about me

i am no artist.

i am no professional photographer in a sense that i would aim to earn money with my images.

but i think i am on an artistic endeavour.

creativity and artistic expression of oneself and ones thoughts on society and philosophy bring balance to a life of meetings and deadlines otherwise.

not the images themselves when published are the primary goal of my work, it is the creative process itself, taking time and consideration one time, being spontaneous and ridiculous another. exploring possibilities and trying ways to conceptualize feelings, views on life and humanity. and to fail and to learn in doing so.

this not only applies to photography which this place is about, but also to other creative types of expressions like music production, algorithmic art in audio, video and drawing-/painting-machines i try to tame for myself.

once again, there is no need to compete with the masters of each area, this work is mainly for myself und whoever finds it worth to look at.
