My path to photography

Porst, Minolta, Nikon and Olympus

Photography has accompanied me my whole life. My father was a passionate photographer. And his black photo bag was like a little adventure playground with a camera, lenses, extension rings and whatever else you had and needed in the 1980s. From time to time I was allowed - under supervision - to play with it, look through the viewfinder and see how the world changes with the use of different focal lengths.

And it did Ritsch-Ratsch

I can't remember exactly when, it must have been sometime when I was in elementary school when my father gave me my first camera. A simple ratchet camera with Porst cassette film. I kept trying it out and carefully gluing pictures into a large, green photo album.
