I can identify with the slogan of this years` Conference :“Wir sind Wald” / “We are the Forest”. I´m working since 1995 at a photo-project, in which I show incredible images that I see in trees.In 1996 I´ve had an exhibition with it during the 57th Annual Conference of the German Forest Society at The Humboldt University in Berlin.I started with that project in Aachen and have extended it to the rest of Germany and some other European countries. I have named it “Images in Trees”. Here is a video that gives an impression of it.

On "Images in Trees" - Archive I have collected some Articles etc. Further information you´ll find on my homepage .

I sell photographs of my project in my webshop. If you appreciate my perception of trees or if you are looking for an exceptional present, I create an exclusive photo-edition for you of the Images in the Trees in your (palace)-garden, your park or your private-forest. Please contact me.
