    Artificial Intelligence has been and will continue to be a great topic for this decade and the decades to come.

  • An Analogue Adventure – Continued
    Two rolls of Kodak Tri-X made it into my improvised darkroom. First attempt after more than 20 years, I was quite nervous to see if this will work out. It actually did.

  • Sharp and Simple Mobility
    Starting my Analogue Adventure, it completely changes my perception of what I believe. I thought my Fuji X-Camera gear is compact and small.

  • An Analogue Adventure
    I started using digital photography around 2001. Coming from an intense analog photography period, using black and white film, developing it myself and using my own darkroom.

  • The Magic of The Print
    The displays of our Computers and TVs have gone through an incredible evolution. In recent years, we have been confronted with advanced technology to present our work – tablets with high resolution displays as colourful, sharp and shiny as we could wish for.  I remember – years ago – when I bought my first digital… Read more: The Magic of The Print
