I first got into Photography in the late 70's when I bought my first SLR. After a year or so I set up a Darkroom in our spare bedroom and started to develop my own Black & White photographs.
In the mid 80's we moved house and unfortunately I didn't have room for a Darkroom. Around this time I took an interest in Target Shooting, joined a local Shooting Club and in 1991 became Chairman of LCB Marksmen.
In 2008 I sustained an injured to my shoulder which meant I couldn't shoot competitively for nearly two years. During a clear-out at home I came across my old SLR with a couple of rolls of film, I took it with me on a trip to a local beauty spot, used both rolls and was pleasantly surprised when I got them back from the developers.
Realising I still had the Photography bug I bought a Nikon D3100. Shortly after, I invested in an 18-200mm Nikon Zoom lens and a Sigma 10-20mm Wide Angle zoom. I have recently purchased a Nikon D5100 as a second body.
These days whatever I'm photographing I enjoy the taking and the editing. I now use every chance I get to capture the moments in time that would be lost forever, like tears in the rain.....

Ich fotografiere jetzt digital seit 2 Jahren und habe die Fotografie von Stillleben für mich entdeckt.
Die natürlichen Motive von flüssigen und gasförmigen Stoffen haben es mir angetan. Ich bin Hobbyfotograf und möchte ein paar schöne Bilder veröffentlichen

I'm a 21 years old student (@Design Academy Eindhoven), and graffiti-artist, with a passion for nature and culture. I get inspiration from traveling and discovering new countries, it's landscape, wildlife, nature and it's people and their culture.
To me, photographing feels like taking a closer look to different aspects of everyday life. A way of getting inspiration from things you normally wouldn't even notice. It feels like a tool to discover the world, the challenge is to communicate this in my works.
Since time immemorial the seasons have shaped and characterized the Nordic (folk) soul. The extreme contrast between light and darkness, hope and despair and elation and melancholy. The Scandinavian soul, like the inward looking, hibernating bear, seeks isolation when the sun turns its face to other latitudes, and from this fateful ambience comes creative inspiration.
It is my intention to capture the beauty present in the meeting between the dark, the light & the interaction of colors, with natures unruly and unconditional constitution.
This is my desire, this is the key. I would like to show you that there's great hope right here in our love of nature. That is the challenge that inspires me to create portraits of a big country interacting and acting between these two extremes, and where the light is a messenger in the darkness.
