Jessica Backhaus

One of my favorite books at the moment is Jessica Backhaus' ONE DAY IN NOVEMBER

I bought my copy last year at the book fair in Frankfurt and am still in love with it. The book is Jessica's hommage to Gisèle Freund her mentor and friend.

It is just beautiful.

Winter in Germany

The winter has Germany in its grip. It's freezing cold as it hasn't been in decades. The lakes are frozen and the rivers are blocked for shipping. Last weekend we waked over a huge frozen lake. It was totally fun and we enjoyed it a lot.

Here are some impressions of the winter wonderland.

New Website

My new website is online now. I redesigned the entire site, edited the portfolios and made the whole thing clearer and cleaner.

You are welcome to check it out here

Would love to hear what you think about it. So, comments are welcome and appreciated.
