During my studies of English I started to study photography. From the moment I touched a camera in about 1980 I developed a consistent interest in the medium, often in combination with an ongoing desire to investigate large parts of the world. At first I used 35mm cameras, but soon I decided to shift to larger formats. My interest is mainly in (city/industrial) landscapes, in combination with the presence of human trace.

This interest has made me travel extensively through the stone quarries of Carrara (It.) and the vast landscapes of the United States, as well travels through India, Morocco, Jordan, Egypt, and Israel. In addition I visited and photographed the area around New York City many times. Recently, I photographed extensively in Sicily (It.) and, again, in India.
