My first camera was a Kodak Retina entrusted to me by my father three decades ago. Back then, this camera had already a long history. The picture to the right shows me using this camera on an early "mission" in Switzerland.
Since then I have made it a habit to take a camera with me wherever I go. Several years later, I returned to Switzerland to shoot self-portraits with cows.
I also started to shoot landscape portraits - not only in Switzerland. This website contains a selection of my pictures. I hope you enjoy looking at them.
On this homepage, you will also find texts that I have written on various science-related topics—researched to the best of my knowledge and understanding. As you will notice, I am interested in astronomy, geology, and landscape development. I am concerned about the increasing destabilization of our open society due to disinformation and conspiracy myths. You will find texts on this subject in the near future as well.
You can find me on Mastodon
