The beginning of our love

We met and fell in love as young people 21 years ago. We met on the train, and we saw each other every morning. That was the beginning of our love.

We were both born in northern Germany, near the city of Greifswald and grew up near the baltic sea. We have been living in Aachen since 2003. Ten years ago, I married my girl. Now we have three great children (all boys).

We are not photographers, and we don’t do it professionally. We have ordinary jobs.

We both became interested in photography very quickly. My muse is my muse, my model, inspiration and therefore also my main motive. Primarily our photos are like a diary, documenting our own life. We also do it because it gives us something special, holds us together and of course, is a lot of fun.

We started with some cheap digital camera. We ended up with analogue photography relatively quickly. I do the process, preferring analogue photography to digital. Some thought has to be given to the subject and the photograph. I also like the imperfections and the grain of film. The first film camera was a Pentacon six TL in 6×6 format.
