Biography

„Writing and visual art let people understand the world a little bit better. Photography is an expression of personal perception. What do you see in someone or something? Create content with context for relevance.“

Man trifft selten richtige Entscheidungen, sondern maximal nur bessere. Ob Entscheidungen „besser“ oder gut waren, erweist sich erst zu einem spaeteren Zeitpunkt. Alles gilt immer nur fuer den Augenblick. Strategisches oder kreativ konzeptionelles Denken erfordert Zeit, Wissen, Erfahrung und vor allem das Verstaendnis fuer die Sache. Kreativitaet faengt da an, wo normales Denken aufhoert. Ich habe 40 Jahre lang taeglich gelernt und tue es auch weiterhin, um das undenkbare zu denken und mir das unvorstellbare vorzustellen. Letzendlich sorgt die Realitaet aber fuer Fakten. Selten passiert etwas ueberraschend. Dieses Wissen kann fuer andere aber nur dann wertvoll sein, wenn jemnd bereit ist Zeit zu investieren, um zu verstehen. Ich habe keine Zeit fuer „diplolmatisches taktieren“ und Menschen, die keine Zeit haben, aber erwarten, dass ich ihre Sache zu meiner Prioritaet mache. Solche Denkweisen sind geeignet um zu verhindern, nicht aber, um Dinge oder Vorhaben konstruktiv moeglich zu machen. „Sag was du denkst und tue was du sagts. Sag was du tust und wann? Tue es. Ich mache das auch. Andernfalls verliere ich nicht nur das Interesse, sondern schlimmer: Die Leidenschaft fuer eine Idee.“

A question of respect

You rarely make the right decisions, but at most only better. Whether decisions were „better“ or good becomes clear at a later stage. Everything is always valid only for the moment. Strategic or creative conceptual thinking requires time, knowledge, experience and, above all, understanding of the matter. Creativity starts there where normal thinking ends. I have been learning on a daily basis for 40 years and continue to do so to think the unthinkable and to imagine the unimaginable. Ultimately, however, reality provides facts. Rarely does something surprising happen. However, this knowledge can only be valuable for others if someone is willing to invest time to understand. I don‘t have time for „diplomatic tacticts“ and people who don‘t have time but expect me to make their cause to my priority. Such ways of thinking are suitable to prevent, but not to make things or projects constructively possible.. „Say what you think and do what you say. When? Straight forward. Say what you do and do it. Otherwise, I will not only lose interest, but worse: my passion for an idea.“
