It was a rainy day.
I waited about one hour for someone blond-haired (or blue-dressed) to walk by with an umbrella.
And that girl has been a gift better that I was hoping!

These days, in today’s world, sometimes I have the impression that a mask of gas is more important than a hat or a jacket…
The vision is that every day more distorted it makes me think that this will be an indispensable accessory of our wardrobe, if you do not have the clarity to think first.

This is an old prison in the former DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Republik) also informally known as East Germany. The first image show how it was before and the second image shows how it is today. Before becoming a prison in 1747 the building functioned as an abbey.
East and West Germany were reunited on October [...]
I love photographing people but sometimes I take portraits of people without them in the frame. That’s because their possessions and surroundings speak about who the people are.
Often when I go into friends’ homes, I wind up photographing details in their environment. It’s not unusual for me to spend hours in their bathrooms – [...]
It was too hot that day. Too hot even to go out. I took my camera and looked at it. And then I looked around me and saw four white walls.
“Why not?” I said to myself. And I did. Took a picture of one of the walls.
And I felt so refreshingly happy that I [...]
Cold morning. The kitchen. Boiling water. Condensation on windows. Raining. Neighbor’s stucco chimney and blue windows. Still in my bathrobe, grabbed my camera. The Gods of Photography gave me this present, and I am grateful.

I bought a Bronica Medium Format film camera and wanted to test it in my studio before venturing out in public.
At the studio, I found several dried hydrangea blossoms in a small vase. I picked one, put it on a small metal cart, and started shooting. I like the ‘honesty’ of this image [...]
After a series of winter storms, capped off with an ice storm the night before, I headed out to capture some wintery landscapes.
I started at the State Capital Building. I took shelter under an old Cedar Tree to review my shots. Suddenly I heard what sounded like a gunshot over my head and I [...]
I love to explore areas and objects that most people would consider eyesores. I find all kinds of fascinating details in junkyards, abandoned buildings, and industrial parks.
This image was created in the remnants of a burnt-down machine shop on the rural eastern shore of Maryland. The ravages of fire, time, and oxidation have turned some [...]
I revisited a street close to where I used to play as a child some 40 years ago, to find the area run down, and the streets derelict and uncared for, weeds growing up through the pavements and houses boarded up and abandoned.
I thought I should capture the image before the bull dozer’s flatten [...]
In 1991, Mt. Pinatubo erupted after centuries of dormancy, leaving behind a 2km caldera, which eventually formed into a lake.
The journey to Pinatubo Lake kicks off at the Capas starting point. Getting through the slithering, lahar sprawling landscape requires a 4×4 vehicle. It begins with an hour-long, 20 kilometer rolling and lurching drive, followed by [...]
I’ve always been interested in many kinds of art, and am inspired by a number of poets, writers, artists and other photographers. However, I take particular inspiration from the French Impressionist painters, not only for the dreamy quality of their work, but also for their attitude to life. Unappreciated by their contemporaries, they were unafraid [...]
Winter Rosehips was photographed in Sundance Canyon, 4 km. from the Cave and Basin parking lot in Banff, Alberta, then about half way up the canyon hike.
It was obvious that I had to somehow play off the rosebush against the rock but it took some manouvering to find the right position. A wide angle lens [...]
Most pictures of locks are of the old kind of locks… an old rusted lock on a gate, or perhaps it is a lock on a door in an old home that can only be opened with a bronze key.
Those pictures give a certain feeling that isn’t easily described… not exactly the feeling of being [...]
