Retired teacher in mathematics
- Like to travel and discover manners and customs of the people in different countries
( Europe , Africa , Asia , Mexico)
It all began in 1980 : some people contaminated by the “photography-virus” showed me in into the dark chamber … and thus I discovered the magic attraction of the plastic arts … The “magic box” offered me the possibility to dislocate certain objects from their everyday surroundings, putting them into an unusual frame … Since I am fond of not entirely realistic images, but rather of surrealistic creations, with a hue of mysteriousness and fantasy , I prefer to focus on irreal situations and atmospheric pictures … and in order to evoke these subjects as truly as possible, I started searching , quite soon , for particular developing techniques , as well regarding black and white photos as colour slides.
Photography , in all its aspects , has grown to be my favourite pastime occupation, and moreover , it is a passionate hobby which has given me a lot of pleasure and satisfaction. It has enabled me to discover a new world and besides , it has enriched my life with a lot of new acquaintances … I am convinced that , in our small world of amateur-photographers friendship counts as much as a collection of medals … and maybe even more !!!
