The decision to travel to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur at the begining of February was not easily made. There were 30 odd confirmed cases of the Coronavirus in Singapore when we left for south-east Asia, looking back 6 weeks later and Germany has just hit the 60,000 mark with the whole planet in dire stress….. Looking back I think we maybe should have stayed down there! Stay safe folks and take care! Leica M9; Leica M9M; Summicron 35; Summilux 50; […]

The current situation allows me to get around to all the things I’ve been wanting to do for ages…… so here’s the first post in the Corona crisis. Here are a few shots taken at the Luftwaffen museum Berlin which was formerly RAF Gatow until German reunification. There are lots of different aircraft and a lot of military equipment on view from both sides of the iron curtain. Leica M9M; Leica M9-P; Summilux 50; Summicron 35; Elmar 21; VSCO

Casting back to the summer holidays of 2019. These were taken on two trips to Porto and to Afife including the surrounding area (even with a day trip to Spain thrown in as well) . Well worth a visit if I may say so….. Leica M9; M9M; Summicron 35; Summilux 50; Elmar 21; VSCO

If don’t do this everyday then you make mistakes. The girl in the gallery is a young Israeli soldier, I was so nervous that I made a mess of the camera settings and basically forgot everything I know about photography so the shot wasn’t as good as I hoped for.

I did have some qualms about taking pictures at the Western Wall, however I wasn’t there on the Shabbat and no one is recognisable so I don’t think anyone will be offended….. Leica M9M; Summilux 50; Summieren 35; Elmar 21; VSCO

After a rather difficult period I’m rekindling my love of photography. Returning to visit Dubai has undoubtedly helped, offering me a host of different motifs that I just couldn’t resist. Watch this space for more from this place and elsewhere…. Leica M9; Summilux 50; Lightroom; VSCO

….since I last posted anything. To be honest I’ve been searching (as ever) for a little inspiration for a new project lasting 53 weeks and I can’t seem to settle on that âoneâ subject. It’s not for the lack of ideas it’s just that that simply I don’t want to confine myself to one type of motive or one medium or one of whatever….. Therefore the next few posts will be of things that I’ve been shooting over the past […]

I’ve amended my blog just a little to include not only the place I call home but also some of the more interesting locations that I’ve come across this blogging year. To kick this off I’ve found a place that couldn’t be more different from Brandenburg! (Best viewed full size!) Leica M9; Summicron 50mm; Lightroom

A few years ago after a press conference we held somewhere in Asia, an article was published in one of the local leading newspapers. It was mistakenly accompanied by a picture of me with the title “Dr. Rolf”. Well I’m here to put the record straight, meet the real Dr. Rolf!

I’m still playing catch-up having been away, so here are two in a week. The first shot was taken in Raffles (Singapore) whilst enjoying an infamous Singapore Sling with my colleagues (they’re a good bunch – but don’t tell them I told you) during one of the few moments of relaxation. The second picture is a snapshot of the Petronas Towers (Menara Petronas) taken on a flying visit to Kuala Lumpur.

This week’s picture is a tribute to a great Frenchman, Antoine de Saint-ExupĂ©ry both an aviator and a children’s author. Second only to that man Eric in French history….. This was shot with kind permission of Verena under the plaque commemorating Saint-ExupĂ©ry in the PanthĂ©on (Paris) during a recent business trip. f/5 1/125 ISO 800 @29mm Verena in the PanthĂ©on (Paris)
