The architect Santiago Calatrava created the Oculus building for the underground station near the World Trade Center in NYC (USA), which is a wonderful photo motif. I particularly liked it in combination with the life-size bronze animal sculptures by Gillie and Marc

Thanks to the pictures of Andreas Feininger, Henri-Cartier Bresson and the group f.64, I discovered my passion for photography. I prefer black and white photography because it emphasizes form, whether natural-made in plants or man-made in architecture. Further I like to capture moods, such as the transience of industrial equipment or the lightness of the moment in street photography.Earlier In the mid-2010s, I switched from analogue to a digital workflow. However, I remained true to my image processing principles and there is nothing on my printed images that was not already on the negative.
