After my second divorce in 2010 I lived a year in Norwey, traveled to Nepal for 5 weeks , traveled a year later in India Kashmir and Nepal again for half a year. I worked obsessed day and night, lost weight,  almost everything around me and became a Yogi but a bloody beginner, met Alejandra in the desert of North India. She is mexican a photographer  as well and a real Yoga lover and her face could be indian or german in the same time, made things very often more easy. We dressed in every place like the people dress. So we could move easy often undiscovered and when , the people treated us respectful. In Kashmir we met the most beautifuful people. Open minded curious extremly nice and helpful.We moved to the South of France for a couple of months and went then back to Mexico. We rented a big beautiful house in Merida where  I started working on two new subjects named "Bars & boobies" and "Billiard". Over these three years I took more than 60000 pics. To put them in order , I got mad almost. The last step was to design the homepage and selecting these few pics for the site. Gracias a dios I made it. In May we start a not verry much prepared trip from Germany direction east We are  prepared to go to any limits. The best stuff of that journey will be published constantly in my site Alejandras site in Pinterest and other places like instagram.

By the way I'm german born in the sign of gemini 1962, My mother died in 1975 that was the time I started taking pictures. Right now I work basically with one fast lens, as you can see , the bodys are 2 Canons D7 I am more than happy with that equipment.

and my love smiles at me because she knows that I'm not a little I'm realy creazy.
