The Power-of-Color Project ▶The Power-of-Color Project
Color photography can be amazing, especially when colors transport a nearly completely independent content. Robert Walker describes it in a simple term:
"I am still amazed how it is possible to 'paint' with a photo camera. Maybe it's sometime an abuse of the technique, but it's also a challenge."

New York Views ▶New York Views
This is a disconnected collection of impressions that - maybe - win connection through their disconnection.

The Wall Project ▶The Wall Project
Walls have their own age, their own structure, their individuality.

Abstract ▶Abstract
To be 'abstract' in a photograph is really challenging. The special tension arises from the fact that even a complete abstract photograph is an image of a 'real' environment.

The Shadow Project ▶The Shadow Project
Is a shadow reality? Can a photography show reality?
There are a lot of questions that raise with this images. However, they are examples of wonderful compositions.

Project Shop Windows ▶Project Shop Windows
Shop windows and insides are great artistic environments. In the context with people (customers, staff, etc.) they became often surrealistic, a level of different reality. And sometimes, it's succeeds to capture an idea of this different reality.

The Letter Project ▶The Letter Project
Writing and letters transport information. Uncoupled of that, letters can be esthetical products in their context what we often overlook.

Snow & Ice ▶Snow & Ice
It amazes me always like a child how the world is changed after snow has fallen.

Street Photography ▶Street Photography
I discovered street photography after I switched to digital. With my first digital camera I started like a voyeur with a movable screen where nobody noticed that I was shooting. But the more I shot, the more I used the view finder developing self-confidence in arrogate people to accept me as a photographer. Today, I mostly shoot with a non overlookable SLR and people accept me, and if not, I accept them and don't take the shot. When I capture images of people I intend to show respect and graciousness for them.
