Switzerland

I truly love the Alps!

I think it all started when I was in high school, back then I often went to the mountains to clear my head. What had a purely practical use quickly developed into an artistic hobby. One peak after another was photographed, higher and higher demands followed until I finally completely forgot to enjoy nature. Today it looks different again, only equipped with an analogue camera, I’m still often found in the mountains not looking for perfection but for beautiful moments.

I’m a little worried when I see how many people storm the mountains looking for the next “Insta-shot”, often carelessly striking a pose in front of nature and completely forgetting what the mountains really have to offer. But part of its beauty is disappearing every day in the form of the retreating glaciers. I remember many glaciers that I visited when I was in high school and can see drastic changes just from my memory. I would like to try to capture the largest Bernese glaciers with my analog camera in order to give posterity an idea of ​​how our Alpine region has changed during my lifetime.
