My root in Photography is based in my years as teenager.
I started taking pictures, with low-cost cameras.
Technical aspects/Equipment
My first SLR, I could afford in the age of about 25 years. in the 1980ies
SLR= Single-lens reflex camera
where the big manufacturers started with autofocus
at that point of time, the technical solution from Canon, transmitting the necessary Data from the Camera body
to the lens electronically,was simply the best. Other brands had the solution to
transmit Data with a mechanical axis.
That was the reason why I started with Canon.
Today from the technical point of view, I believe it doesn't matter what Brand you photograph with.
Most important is the ergonomic aspect and what Genres you photograph
Photography slept then
Because of focusing on Work, photography then slept for long time.
The Machine,"Lokomat", helped to move the left paralyzed leg
Education in Photography
The stroke
The left side of my Body was completly paralysed!
my brain had forgotten that there is a left side of the body!
I experienced the stroke during the night from Dec. 24th to 25th 2008.
The Dec.24th I went to bead in good health and sometime, early in the morning the 25th I woke up,leftside paralysed!
sometime, about 3 years after the stroke, in 2011,I had the feeling that I should do some creative activity; what could it be?
Photography? With a serious handicap??!
I re activated what I already knew: Photography!
Despite my handicap, I applied for a one year education in photography, which I finished
succsessfully.
My Mission
As my claim sais: Keeping magic moments! For "eternity":
that means keeping a specific Moment in a Fraction of a Second!
