Art and Photography

Cameras where around me as long as I can remember and then some. My dad used to take 35 mm slide photos and Super 8 film images all the time.
I started taking photos very early in life when I was around 12 years old and never really stopped since then.
In the early 1980´s I became interested in the medium photography as an art form and experimented with the medium, mostly in black and white photography.
It was then that I had my own dark chamber and studio, and enrolled into the HBK art University in Braunsschweig - Germany to study art and photography.
Even though diving became the largest activity in my life I stayed true to myself and never gave up doing some art and photography. Since around 2004 all photos and altering is done digitally with a final printout.
Currently I am using a Nikon D 80 and D 90 with Nikkor 12-14mm, Nikkor 50mm, Nikkor 18-200mm and a 500mm mirror lens as well as a Canon G 10 digital Camera. In 2008 I purchased a studio strobe system to convert my office into a makeshift photo studio.
