Back on the road after the first Italian winter in twenty (!) years. Much needed and maybe deserved, t he industrip brought me back to my hunt for industrial wonders of ancient Europe. This time it was Germany and Czech…
Venice in fog again: I left behind a roll of film from my week with Miron so here it is, emerged to life after some weeks and some more films. Lagoon fog, the wonderful Miron Zownir, Venice at the end…
February 2024, a long shortest month. I had the privilege of spending a week with one of my favorite photographers and watch him at work. Before getting to know him in person I would refer to him as The Man…
Pleased and honored to portrait artist Juan Miguel Pozo Cruz in his atelier in Berlin Neukölln. Berlin, February 2024. The film shots: [by the way, I was using Bergger Pancro 400 for the first time for portraits. I am more…
I spent about 40 minutes chasing a fish on the shallow waters of a Mestre canal. The winter day was sunny and not cold. The fish is not – or hardly -to be seen but my friends and some industrial…
There was a party in my favorite club in Berlin last Friday. Im Duncker Club. The occasion was the reunion tour of Italian band cccp. I was incredibly honored to be asked by organizers Valentina Ferrarese and Dj Orløg to…
Low light in northern Italy this week. Christmas, families and a new look at old and dear projects. I went back to The Other Cathedrals to make some minor changes to the video and send it to some art prize…
Beautiful People in Beautiful places. One roll was damaged during development (very clear in picture #2) because a tiny crack let light leak in. This reminds me of all these people, who let light leak into my life and give…
I was riding my bike yesterday and out of the blue I started thinking about photographic development and other kinds of development I know. It seems to me that everything that gets or performs a development is either an organism…
So long I have lived in the North, that southern light infinitely amazes me and makes me waste rolls and rolls of film. This happened last month, when I overexposed everything I could during the day – or I optimistically…
Portraits on film carry a depth and intensity that I have never experienced in the digital media. Here is a series made with the help of my beautiful friends in the spring of 2023. Should one person be represented more,…
Somehow strangely and blessed by chance, last fall I had the luck to come across an immensely beautiful project. Two incredible artists in one great record, which I feel so honored to have contributed to and quickly became my favorite…
An afternoon fading into midnight stroll through the city I was born in – and what luck to grow up surrounded by such beauty. Life is layered and opaque though, sometimes you can see best from a distance. The night…

This is a complicated post to write, for the photo shoot was completely improvised and the amount of beauty that struck me is as large as it is completely unexpected. It started with fluorescent light and a raging storm outside.…
This is the holidays – Marghera, Völklingen and Duisburg hunting industrial architecture sites and sunrays. September 2021.
This is August. In the last week of the project the Liebig12 team organised a little market – so I chose 6+6 photos to print. The black and white were mounted with passe-partout and black frame, the abstracts I mounted…
Sibylle Bergemann and her reportage about the Marx-Engels-Forum in Berlin, GDR. How comes I am using the infamous TP incipit to write about Sibylle Bergemann and Berlin? The Berlin – David Lynch link is there, and for many, it has…
This project started in The late winter of 2020, simultaneously to the so called first lockdown due to the corona virus pandemic. The idea of working on Berlin memorial sites had been in my head for a while; now I suddenly…
