Photography
Photography
is an interest that meshes very well with two of my other
likings - worldwide travel and the great outdoors. While I
have been shooting pictures since the early 80s, I haven't
really done it with focus until the latter part of the 90s
when I took some classes and started exploring the emerging
digital printing scene. While earlier Cibachrome darkroom
work had been enlightening,
it was the evolution of digital processes that finally enabled
me to control the photographic process from beginning to end
- from artistic composition in the field to technical execution
at the printing stage.
I was born and grew up in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, studied
in Germany and the US, and have been living in Silicon Valley
since the late 80s. Over the years, I have hiked and explored
many National Parks in the US, traveled to foreign countries,
and taken my camera along to record the multifaceted scenery
that I encountered. These journeys have led to travel and
photo journalism pictures, and ultimately the creation of
fine art photographic prints. Along the way, I had the privilege
to hone my skills with teachers such as Galen Rowell and Frans
Lanting on the artistic side, and Bill Atkinson, Charlie Cramer
and Sean Duggan on the technical side.
My main interests currently reside with contemplative landscape
as well as evocative travel photography.
