Germany

I was born 1987 in the former German Democratic Republic (a.k.a. "East Germany") and began to develop an interest in technology very early. I wasn't even 7 years in age when I configured DOS-running PCs with IRQ/DMA-changes due to a new soundcard or stuff like that. I also started programming my own applications in that time. For a long time, this was my by far most time-consuming and most expensive hobby. I also specialized in this fields while I was in school or at University.
Though, around 2006, I went out of home and lived on my own. To show my parents some pics of where I lived, I took their (bridge) camera and made some shots. It didn't take long until I realized I was into photography, too. So, after learning lots about photography, I spent quite a lot money on my first DSLR, to be followed by a couple of lenses, filters, and other stuff (and, subsequently, a new DSLR). Since this moment, photography became my most expensive hobby and my most beloved passion. Additionally, I also write some poetry (usually about love or death) since I am 10 - you can find some of those poems in my gallery, too.

I love to catch land-, water- and skyscapes, portraits of people and since I got my macro lens, also the tiniest things on Earth. Every now and then, I feel the need to "test" and "play" a bit with the camera, or to try out some new stuff I heard about. And as long as there are new things to discover every day in photography, I won't stop to explore them
