I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Finally, I have become a victim of this virtual world as well and got a MySpace Profile (¿who would have ever thought so?).
But now, the question is what should I write?¿?
Bla bla bla would be a start .... ;Þ
Well, lets try this: I am a photographer and my camera is so stuck to me I could compete easily with any Japanese tourist. People who see me will not take long to find out that I am sitting in a wheelchair (happened 2005). After a pretty bad car accident (or should I say lorry accident) I guess those things happen if you work late at night and certain driver fall asleep when he should not. :) But so he did... do but get me wrong, it was not the lorry drivers fault but the guy who was steering the car I was sitting in. Sleepiness and long rides just do not go together. :)
I live and work mainly in Germany, in Berlin that is, and Paris, France, with frequent escapes to southern Spain (mainly to the Málaga & Cordoba area).
My approach to photography is a very simple one, I try to keep things very simple and natural. Photoshop is a cool thing but it should not have a place in Photography. If you take a picture everything should already be in it, and not be added afterwards nor should stuff be airbrushed. If someone has a little wrinkle it is part of that person and wiping that out would wipeout the person I photograph.
Guess I will just fill this in over the next days... Until then, just ask if you have any questions! But then, isn’t that already more then enough written about me?

My Interests

the usual stuff, reading, outdoors, painting, cooking, music - listening and making, again reading :)

I'd like to meet:

Who I'd like to meet: hmmmm... Kennedy and Mother Theresa. And World PEACE (got this from a beauty pageant speach;)But to be honest, I am not sure what to put here, because it is always cool to meet people, famous or not, I am open to anybody. Hmmmm..... zbrMaybe Quetzalcoatl would be an otion, don't you think only for this name it is already worth it meeting this Aztec god who is either displayed as a feathered rattlesnake or a bearded man?

..Some Funny Videos:
Have fun end ejoy:

The Ping Pong Matrix
..

What really happened on 9/11
..

Music:

A big source of inspiration are the old blues men like:
Reverend Gary Davis, Lead Belly, Mississippi John Hurt, Big Bill Broonzy & Muddy Waters

For Easy listening: Leslie Feist, Ben Harper, John Butler, Beth Orten, Heather Nova, Kojima Mayumi

For Party: Bebe, Ketama, Estopa, Los Delinquentes, Sly & the Famikly Stone

I do love singer/songwriters (like the ones mentioned above) to play in the background while I work, it is very inspiring Apart from that I listen to a lot of classical music and flamenco. I guess right now Estrella Morente is the one who is sounding over my speakers the most :)

Movies:

... will think about this one ...

Television:


Favorite TV show? TV? Whats that?¿? Naa just joking I am blond but I do know what a TV is, just don't know what to do with it :)

Books:


Dostojewski
- Der Idiot
- Schuld und Sühne

Tolstoi
- most of his short stories
- War & Peace
- Ana Karenina

Leskow
- basically all of his short stories
(I like the topics he covers and his way of writing is a very strong contrasts to the two above)
