thanks to Wim de Knegt for taking some making of pictures of the wetplate workshop im hamburg this april. it was again a lot of fun with really interesting people - a lot of good plates turned out at this course, congratulations!
see more pictures here!

polaroid ftw!

maybe it's becasuse of the look, the frame, the colour, the imperfection, the aesthetics or maybe it is because i just love instant pictures - i guess it is all together why i like polaroids so much. thanks to peter bauer who took this silver shade polaroid at my wetplate workshop in hamburg.

A wonderful wetplate exhibition took place at Phototriennale Hamburg in Galerie Farbwerke M6 from 1-13 April 2011. I am really proud that this exhibition is together with my former workshop participants Esther Haase, Oliver Rolf, J.Konrad Schmidt and Hendrik Faure. It is quite nice that my work attracts so much interest to people and my knowledge i teach in workshops develops in a really good way. Fantastic we could do this exhibition together.
