Wintertime in the Sertig Valley
Not only the little church and the magnificent Walser houses attract visitors. The Sertig, near Davos, is considered a region in Switzerland particularly worthy of protection. Dense pine and larch forests stretch up the mountain flanks, in spring the meadows around the village turn into a sea of white crocuses and at the back of the valley a waterfall thunders into the depths.
Gedanken zum Ende des Jahres
Das Jahr 2022 ist schon bald zu Ende und ich möchte mich bei meiner Familie, Freunden und Bekannten ganz herzlich für die gemeinsame Zeit bedanken. Durch meine Dokumentarfilme und Fotoarbeiten konnte ich in diesem Jahr wieder viele neue und interessante Begegnungen mit Menschen machen. Viele Lebensgeschichten haben mich persönlich sehr bewegt - eine Geschichte ganz besonders - die von Renzo Hendry, Hip-Hop Sänger von Liricas Analas und heutiger Winzer.
Ålesund, Norway - it's just not Trondheim...
In my opinion, Ålesund cannot offer the charm of Trondheim, and the reason lies mainly in the city's architecture. The houses in Ålesund are all made of stone, unlike the wooden houses in Trondheim. This has a historical reason.
Dog sledding in Tromsø, Norway
Based just outside Tromsø city and within the Arctic Circle, we had a unforgettable morning at Villmarkssenter on a dog sled pulled by wonderful Alaskan huskies in a fresh snowy area.
Norway - Twilight zone - (Teaser 2)
Short teaser about Svolvær, Lofoten, Norway in December 2023.
This is only a little teaser about a trip with an expedition ship from Hamburg to the North Cape, along the old postal route of Norway.
Honningsvåg - North cape, Norway
One of Europe’s most stunning natural sights, Nordkapp, or the North Cape, rises on the island’s rugged northern coast and offers breathtaking views over the sea from a 1,000-foot plateau. Gigantic wonders exist under the sea, too, as the region’s King Crab fishermen will attest.
Norway - Twilight zone (part 1)
Here I write in loose sequence and also not in the correct chronological order about our trip with an expedition ship from Hamburg to the arctic North Cape, along the old postal route of Norway.
A true Swiss UNESCO World Heritage Landscape
The following pictures were taken yesterday during a train ride with the Bernina Express from Chur through the Engadine to Poschiavo, near the Italian border. An absolut fantastic journey through a winter landscape which has rightly been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
One Lens - One Week: Fujinon GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR
Last year I bought some lenses with fixed focal lengths, which in my opinion are currently among the best lenses on the market. They are lenses that all create a special character in the image resolution and color rendering and are also fun to photograph with. At the beginning of the year 2022, I have therefore set myself a challenge.
Season's Greetings from Prättigau
Nature does not need to make an effort to be significant. It is!
In these challenging times, it's important to refocus on the important things in life at the end of the year - spending lots of time with family, friends and pets at home and in nature.
Passion: Skirennfahrerin - Luana Flütsch erzählt ihre Geschichte in "Mein hübsches Prättigau."
Wer kennt sie nicht, die aktuellen Skirennfahrerinnen der Schweizer Nationalmannschaft: Lara Gut-Behrami, Wendy Holdener, Corinne Suter, etc. - sie alle haben eines gemeinsam - sie haben auch das B-Kader in ihrer Karriere bei Swiss-Ski durchlaufen - genau wie aktuell Luana Flütsch.

I am currently doing the final color grading for my new documentary about Luana Flütsch - a young and fascinating Swiss ski racer from St. Antönien in Prättigau. The film tells the story of an enormously talented young woman who, despite many setbacks due to injury, is forging ahead as a ski racer in the Swiss B squad of Swiss Ski.
The black sheep - Fujifilm X-S10
My history with Fujifilm began in 2012 when the first, revolutionary X-Pro1 was released. A mirrorless camera with a hybrid viewfinder and a fantastic concept of the original Fujifilm film simulation. I claim that this camera has completely changed my photography so far.
Winter or Summer?
Diese Frage stellen sich aktuell viele in der Schweiz. Vor allem wenn man die schieren Schneemassen um das Haus räumen muss. Die Zufahrt zum Haus, zum Hauseingang, zum Garten - alles zugedeckt in einer Meter hohen Zuckermasse.
Sertigtal - auf den Spuren der Walser
Im 13. Jahrhundert erfolgte die Besiedlung des Berggebietes in Davos und Klosters durch die deutschsprachigen Walser. Im hintersten Teil des romantischen Seitentals Sertig prägen noch heute die Hofsiedlungen das Landschaftsbild.
