"I guess, it was my father who first introduced me to the camera. An old Agfa camera with a hard leather case! Since rolls of film were costly, we had to carefully think about the picture being taken before the shutter was released! I eventually went on to an academic career in the sciences where I did a lot of micro live cell imaging and confocal microscopy. A lot of photography in another sense! My observational photography, on the other hand, has taken me to all parts of the world, my most intense being in India where the color, people and culture have provided me with a palette of themes".
