It is nearly 30 years ago, that I lived with my family in Cairo, Egypt. I was visiting the German School in the city and spend a lot of time with picturing the people, streets and scenes. It was a very exciting time for me. Complete new impressions and images in this land for me, […]

I like to picture movements in my photographies. In some few attemps I got my images just the way I like it. To give the pictures some dynamic motion was quiet a challenge. Another way is double or multiple exposure. These photographies here are from a visit in a park area in the south of […]

Das „Requiem “ von dem französischen Komponisten Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) ist ein Meisterstück und entstand 1837. Es gibt eine wundervolle Aufnahme aus diesem Requiem „Santus“ mit dem deutschen Tenor Peter Schreier (Foto) und dem Dirigenten Charles Munch. Das Datum der Aufnahme kenne ich nicht.

Everybody who loves movies must ask what would be a film without good set-pictures and stills? The greatest Icons of the filmindustry like John Wayne, Marylin Monroe, James Dean and so many uncountable characters were made with these images. Here you see some very nice coloured and black and white pictures from the sixties. This […]

Easy sounds from again – DOWN UNDER – I can not imagine a life without these music explosions! The old AC/DC songs are great – try this one, if you want to have a swinging morning and begining of the day!          

Berlin on the 09th of May 2015. Ten thousands, mostly Russians, assembled at the main memorial and cemetery in the Treptower Park. Patriotism and a very strong nationalist consciousness. Good and peaceful atmosphere all over the place. Here are my images. I wanted to have the portraits  in this „wartime-propaganda-picture-style“ with this very strong and hard […]
