Should this not be indeed the first picture in this Gallery.

My photographic history has been explained in my Intro Self-Portrait Gallery, so no need to tell the story again.

Photography is one of my major hobbies and it keeps me on the run as well.

" Photography is an instantaneous operation, both sensory and intellectual, an expression of the world in visual terms, and also a perpetual quest and interrogation. It is one and the same time the recognition of fact in a fraction of a second and the rigorous arrangement of the forms visually percieved wich give to the fact expression and significance."

Those are words pronounced by Henri Cartier Bresson (1908-2004), one of the most popular photographers of the past century who died in summer 2004. Henri Cartier Bresson was a photographer in "my" style. Indeed, he had no style. His pictures showed people of all kinds and he was shooting what ever his eye caught at the moment he looked at it. He lived the hours of photography since it's first apearance up to todays modern technologies.

Might this site be seen as a tribute to Henri Cartier Bresson as well.
