I am a hobby photographer and I am taking most of my photos during longer vacation travels and shorter road trips alike. I have a passion for nature in general and landscapes in particular, though I do occasionally take animal portraits and macro shots. Originally from Germany, I have been living in the Los Angeles area since 2000 and have been exploring the amazing Southwestern USA for quite some time now. In my day job I am a software engineer for a major internet company and have been lucky enough to be able to combine my passion for photography with my daily work.more
