Leica M Monochrom
If you know me, you know that I’m not particularly brand loyal in principle and usually buy or use the products that seem to make the most sense for a certain purpose – whether it’s vehicles, clothing or cameras. As a result, I have worked with or at least...

Kalahari
When I ever wake up early at 6, I need to use this sunrise opportunity to take pictures of the surrounding of Christian’s home. It’s amazing! Absolute standalone location and neverending sight. Masses of paw prints around the house and twittering of birds – only disturbed by Mark’s snoring....
