Photography is my
spare time interest
-And it has been with me as a good friend since I got
my first camera in 1977. I have made a little money from
this hobby, but not nearly enough to cover the costs.
A list of activities (selection);

I have a soft spot for rangefinder photography - especially the Leica M, but I must admit that these days I primarily capture photographs digitally.
