Soon after getting into analog photography, I started looking for a Nikon SLR. Since I already use a Nikon DSLR, I could reuse my lenses. The Nikon FE2 turned out to be a perfect match: beautiful, compact and simple, yet very comfortable to use. I mostly shoot in aperture priority and let the camera choose the shutter speed, only adjusting when needed.
The FE2 soon became my everyday camera, so the first photos on this page were taken in the office.
Not in the office, but around it.
A day on the island of Wangerooge.
Small scenes from the small town of Geldern.
A truly wonderful winter morning in Düsseldorf before starting work.

I love donkeys - here are a few to look at and enjoy.

During one of my bike rides in the area, I came across these abandoned greenhouses. Since then, I’ve returned from time to time to take photos of this strangely charming place.
In and around the office, this time in black and white.
There are a few motifs that always catch my eye, such as bikes, heaters, shopping trolleys, and, in this case, chairs.

I often enjoy the agricultural motifs I come across on my bike rides around the area.

My beloved guitar, which sadly doesn’t get nearly enough attention.
Another spot in De Maasduinen National Park: De Hamert, beautiful heathland.
Getting up in the morning is usually hard for me. But one word from my husband - ‘Nebel’ (mist) - and I’m instantly out of bed.
A multiple exposure at night in a garden, and some flower decorations that nicely matched the tablecloth.
A short trip to Cologne, mostly for chores - but I made it a little touristic as well.

Overall, a snowy start to 2026.
