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

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 ein Thema.“

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 a
theme.“
