About me

Vita

In the early morning hours of the 10th of July 1982 I saw the first light on this planet in the capital of my rural district, Tirschenreuth in northern Bavaria. Raised in the close city of Mitterteich, which had a booming porcelain and glass industry at that time, where I spent my childhood and youth until the beginning of the new century when I left to Regensburg to study mechanical engineering. Over course of the studies the fascination for power, heavy industry and the thought to make our world a better place became stronger and stronger. Choosing my main topic in my studies I decided to go for power engineering. Before finalising my studies I had the chance to sign my first working contract which brought me to the power industry. I "stranded" abroad and started my first little steps as commissioning engineer for coal-fired power plants. In conjunction with the finalisation of my studies I received also my first DSLR which should be one of my major parts of my travel gear for the forthcoming years. Years passed by since then, bodies and lenses did increase as well as the amount of pictures, taken and collected - some better some worse. Today I do not work in the field anymore, instead I have a rather normal office job with all the ups and downs of a normal life. This gives me finally the chance to spend a bit more of my freetime for photography, working with pictures and of course sharing them with others. The more I can share these pictures and memories with people, the more I enjoy them and feel happy about.
