On this page, you will find the photos I published here on the blog.

Photography has always been one of my passions. I collect, repair, and sometimes build film cameras.

I started taking photos when I was 8, with the Olympus Pen EES-2 that my mother brought back from a journey in Japan.

Photography of the Day – The Organ

This is the pipe organ in St. Sebald, Nuremberg. I chose a low, almost Dutch angle to capture it as it better fit my frame while reminding me that shifting our perspective often let us achieve amazing results.
