Like an explosion in early spring the sun hits the horizon behind Teltowkanal, south of Berlin. I almost drove by carelessly…

IN THE STREETS
During my business trips across Europe I try to have at least a small camera with my and ready to shot at any time. Some moments simply tell their own tales…

AUSCHWITZ
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of concentration camp Auschwitz in Poland, I upload some impressions of my 2008 trip. Can’t repeat often enough that any young German shall visit the two sites in Auschwitz and Birkenau to maybe get at least the spark of an idea what horror crimes had been commited here…
Entrance
Barbwire fences over kilometers 
Watch the watchtower from the housing blocks
In the blocks 
Marks of the Holocaust remain highly visible
Clear to understand 
Countless piles of individually named luggage…
…and shoes of victims.
In a “living room”
Approaching Birkenau
“Beds” in the barracks
More barbed wire fences
View to no return
Never forget!
SRI LANKA
A wonderful paradise, also for black and white photography.
Impressions from a 2006 tour. All photos taken by Canon EOS and EF lenses.
White chedis from countless buddhist temples you see across the country
Strange fisherman’s boat at Negombo beach.
Major world religions meet in the streets of Colombo.
In a cave near Kandi, Buddha statue carved out of stone
Crosscountry and through the hills, you better take the train to get more impressions.
At tropical thunders not a real good shelter for tea pluckers.
In infra-red or real colors, there is good time at Sri Lanka’s beaches.
CUBA
Some moments from my Cuba trips 2003 and 2005
Baseball stadium: Vamos Havana Industriales! 
Cross Havana’s harbour heading for the beaches at Playas del Este.
In front of Havana’s Capitol, Oldtimers everywhere
No tradition, just show for paying tourist – a pity.
Monochrome Moloch – La Habana Vieja 
The omnipresent bearded Fidel, comandante en jefe
Do it yourself, anyhow
Old times cruiser, so beautiful, so morbid.
In the streets of Trinidad
Plaza Mayor, Trinidad de Cuba
Almost public transport, Santa Clara 
Last fan in the stadium: heavily drunk, but not from victory’s sweetness
Varadero Beach
In the streets of Havana’s old town
Hand-made – original havanas, Vinales
All analogue photography, Canon EOS 1n, EF 28-105 and EF 70-200 L, Agfa APX100 und Fuji Neopan films, scaned prints
IN BERLIN
ON TOUR
WELCOME, FUJI X SERIES EQUIPMENT
This is the first post after I sold most of my DSLR equiment and joined Fuji’s photographer community with range finder X-pro1. You can tell me whatever you want, the sharpness of these pictures is extraordinary… I love it totally.

Bilderzone.de with new design
Dear all, in autumn 2001 I launched bilderzone.de to share some of black and white photos. Since then different forms of presentations have been used, hard coded HTML and flash, and now it is time to update to responsive design so that bilderzone.de is also visible on mobile devices as well as on desk top computers.
Of course, it is the idea to continue presenting black and white photography but not limited to that. From time to time some great views appear in colour, too. It always a question of each individual situation… During the next weeks some well-known motifs of mine will come back online to initiate a first exhibition. In addition, I will add results from my day-to-day photo strolls to make bilderzone.de my regular photo blog. Overall, pictures from more than 25 years of analogue and digital photography are available.
I hope you like what you see. Feedback is always warmly welcome. Thanks!
