Benjamin Sieberer's photostream  

I always loved to take pictures. I started with a cheap point and shoot camera as I was about 8 years old.
My first 35mm camera was a gift from my uncle Walter, thank you again, which I had for a couple of years until it was stolen in Istanbul. Then the first SLR camera came along. At the beginning of this millenium I lost track of the photography as my work kept my quite busy and also with the dawning age of the digital cameras I did not quit know where to go.
Then in late 2004 I bought a compact digital camera and I discovered the love for photography again. Soon there was the desire for something better and so I purchased a Nikon DSLR camera. Now I was back on track and my equipment grew as I moved to Hong Kong.

Finally in 2008 I was back to film again, the only real thing for photos in my opinion.

Until this date I keep my Nikon D300 for whatever reason...

I play piano as well, and I love it. But it's the same as in photography, no matter how good an electronic piano sounds it can never replace the good old analog stuff.

But after all, be it a camera or the piano it's just an instrument and only you make it sound or work good.

I love to take pictures with digital and analog cameras. At the moment most of my photos are shot with a Leica M6 and Hasselblad 500CM - I just love the basics.

I use slide,color and black and white film, as well, sometimes, I shot with a digital camera or even a mobile phone. I don't want to restrict myself.

I´m originally from Tirol, Austria but since 2006 I´m living in Hong Kong.
