• My roots in Photography are based in my years as teenager.

• I started taking pictures, with cheepest available cameras.

• My first DSLR, I could afford  in the age of about 25 years. where the big manufacturers started with autofocus ( at that point i was convinced of the technical solution from Canon transmitting the information into the lens electronically).

Because of focusing on Work carrier photography then slept for long time. Until about 3 years after my stroke. Where my left side of the Body was completly paralysed and in my head had vanished.

• I decided yes it is Photography!

somewhen, about 3 years after the stroke, 2011. I applied for a one year education in photography which I finished succsessfully.
