Enthusiastic hobby photographer which didn't get an eye (yet). meaning I make postcard style pictures, so don't expect a lot of creativity or artistic viewing angles. I try show the things as they are (sometimes a little more beautiful)
Follow the "golden rule" and care about technical details, as there are for example: straight horizons, perspectivic and other distortions, noise, sharpness, close to natural color or as I have the color in mind or show the mood.
My motives are a lot: night and available light, natur, landscape, cityscape, architecture, portrait, street, macro and animal life of which is 99,9% wildlife (not a big fan of zoo and animal show pictures). nude/act only very little, as till now not a lot of chances to get many models ( have no $).
I am german, living since over 22 years in Greece. Because of my business I was till now every year for 2 Month in Thailand & Indonesia. That 's why a lot of pictures are from there.
Hope you enjoy my pictures, and I am happy with any kind of critic as i still learning to get better.

Great Portrait! Aloha

He looks a stern fellow. I think the Dragan style needs a lot more contrast than this. Your image reminds me of an Julia Margaret Cameron type of character study. Great subject.

Great portrait of this man, indeed! He seems very wise, and do like the details and texture of the beard! Excellent in b&w!

Fantastic! I love the look of Orthodox priests, though many of them also make me think that we've discovered cloning technology and so zillions of "copies" of Tolstoy are running around, only they're not writing great novels (or are they?) This is a superb and wonderfully emotional photograph!

You are too modest. Tell us more how you catch your pics. I think there are around a lot of photographers on ReRo. We are interested in details.
