About me:

I am a photographer, anthropologist and hotel specialist, a daydreamer with many sleepless nights and a tendency to cynicsm and sarcasm. In concert photography I have found the perfect solution to combine my love for photography and music.
My gallery is www.deceitful-tranquillity.de

Some quotations that give an impression about me and photography:

The Photographer and the Maserati
Poem by Solveig L.
Thank you for this wonderful poem, I LOVE it!

"Ich hasse Dich!" (engl: I hate you!)
Comment by a stranger at the GOJIRA gig in Essen 11th April 2009, because he envied me for my 5D Mark II.

"Du brauchst doch gar keine Schwanzprothese!"
First comment I got on my wonderful Canon EOS 5D Mark II with EF 24-70mm/2.8/L USM by Vlad -awesome- Doose at EMERGENCY GATEs ReWake-Pre-Release-Party (the first gig I photographed with this equipment, three days after I got it).

Perspective

"You don't go to places to be there, you just go there to take photos!"
True, in a way photography seems to be more like an addiction than a hobby to me. It's about capturing special moments and sights, things that get blurred or even lost in the mist of memory if you don't retain them. My main interest is in concert photography and I'm doing concert photos and reviews for the german webzine www.metal.de.

In case you are interested you can find photos of most gigs I've attended since spring 2008 in my webgallery www.deceitful-tranquillity.de

Apart from that I study Cultural Anthropology, Intercultural Communications and Philosophy at Munich University LMU. In case you wonder what Cultural Anthropology is, don't worry, it's the first question anthropologists usually hear and the shortest answer/definition is: It is the science of the culturally unknown.
The second question people tend to ask is: What are you going to do with that? The answer is very simple: Get a job (preferably one you like) or end up jobless, just as everybody else...
