At the age of 14 I started to explore photography. My first camera, a Ricoh KR-10x with merely two lenses was often at my side and had to endure quite a lot. When the I.B. Lester B. Pearson College offered me the opportunity to utilize digital photo retouching (Adobe Photoshop 2.0.1) and photography for my artwork, I knew I had found my means and media. To me the computer, primarily photoshop is, what to others might be a brush. As a spin-off from learning digital imaging at such an early stage of development, I had to get to know those back then even more annoying computers. Based on these experiences the maintenance and of hard- and software became a field in which I acquired quite a bit of expertise in the course of the last 10 years. Toady I make most of my money from selling and fixing computers. My biggest passion, photography and digital transformations found further fields of activity due to my reading architecture. Apart from art I tend to work in pre-press production and layout, mostly on high-end graphic-workstations which I built myself. >>>

My technical equipment includes two AMD based workstations (64x2 3800+ und Athlon XP 3200+) with 2GB and 1GB of RAM respectively. Those two computers boast a total of aprox. 1,2TB in harddrive space, two large 21" Eizo (F930) monitors on Matrox cards, a high-res DIN A3 scanner by Umax (Mirage II) and a super-high-res slide acanner by Minolta (Dimage Scan Multi Pro).
Completing the set are analog and digital SLR cameras (Pentax Z-1p and ist*D) and numerous lenses...
I do hope you enjoy my work, the abstract artwork as well as the photography and last but not least the homepage I designed.
I'd be happy to receive your feedback!
