The film negatives I rediscovered a couple of days ago must have fallen into a bowl of salt and pepper- but I do love the pics anyway. Reminding me of a beautiful time with choreographer Anastasia Valsamaki and dancer Gavriela Antonopoulou in the Krama dance studio in Athens (May 2018), when they were developing and rehearsing their dance solo […]

Greek Summer 2020 with a Leica M6 and different film stocks
When we left the plane in Thessaloniki a couple of weeks ago we had to make a COVID 19 test. Luckily the result was negative, so we left for the Greek island of Samothraki 10 days later after staying at my sisters house. In my baggage: a Leica M6 with a 50mm Summarit 2.4 lens, […]
Brittany with an old Leica (Part II) – Village Fete in Ploemeur
I‘d hoped to experience some great sea food in the Village Fete of Ploemeur, but the whole place was smelling strong from Andouille, a local sausage, which consists of parts of animals I don’t even want to think about.

The fields in front of the crushing waves. The heavy buildings with their grey rooftops. Smirking seagulls surfing air streams. Heavy shadows on […]
One year ago – Scans of Samothrace
April 2018, ein Jahr ist es her.

Ab und an ausstieg, mich auf die warmen Kieseln direkt ans Meer legte, den Kopf […]
Seascape with Friends – Zeeland
This time I wanted to bring just an analog camera with me. The small, beautiful and remarkably heavy Rollei 35 with a Tessar lens. Loaded with Kodak Portra 400 (pushed one stop). Every year I travel with a bunch of good friends to the Netherlands for a few days at the sea in winter time. […]
Searching Beauty in the Square Format – Shooting with a Rolleiflex
I still struggle with the square-format of my Rolleiflex camera. As much as I like the fact, that it slows down my photography and forces me to compose the picture with more care, as much as I like this beautiful gigantic viewfinder, which transforms an ordinary object into a piece of art, it’s a painful […]
