2019 .... A crazy, beautiful, inspiring, but also sad year. The year, like the last eight years, began with the annual pilgrimage to the BOOT show. As a man from Cologne, it's a love-hate relationship, because actually I only go to Düsseldorf in absolute emergencies, but BOOT show is simply the place to be for … Continue reading 2019 recap
Pride and sadness – Thanks Team Motpub for more than 30 years of printing

Fighting for something you believe in?!
Facebook just reminded me of a piece of mine, which covered the fight of a community against an illegal mine on Pulau Bangka / North Sulawesi, that was published exactly 5 years ago. In 2014 we had just booked our first ever family vacation to Murex Resorts who operate resorts in Manado and on Pulau … Continue reading Fighting for something you believe in?!

This whaleshark was still a youngster but his mouth was huge (aprox. 1 - 1,5 m wide). Shot during an assignment on the beautiful Amira in Triton … Continue reading How close is too close Part II

It´s a combination of my very early fascination for aviation and an adventurous heart that I somehow discovered when we started to dive. There is hardly a thing that I love more than being the only westerner on a bus, … Continue reading The love for remote places

I´m generaly no fearful person, but being in the water with sailfish that are in feeding mode can be quite an experience. Especialy when they are coming in that close.

Story behind the shot –
Splitlevel shots are, at least for me, without any doubt the most attractive imagery one can produce. They can have a huge impact by highlighting things that are above and below the surface. Hard coral gardens are unfortunately getting harder and harder to find these days. During my last years trip to the beautiful island … Continue reading Story behind the shot –

So I decided to write a blog... again.... Please excuse my horrible english... I wrote this blog … Continue reading How it all started
Baliem Valley _ Dani Tribe
I haven´t used my blog since years, but I think it is about time and I have been forced to. I posted three images of my trip to the Dani Tribe (Baliem Valley - West Papua) on Facebook. The first two images were reported by a "friend" of mine and the third one was removed … Continue reading Baliem Valley _ Dani Tribe
