Kölsch, our Beer

--------

Herzlich willkommen!

Vor vielen Jahren habe ich in Köln erst Fotografie, später dann Visuelle Kommunikation studiert. War dann viele Jahre als Creative Director in verschiedenen internationalen Agenturen unterwegs und in den vergangenen 17 Jahren als Designer selbstständig. Seit 2009 allerdings, wurde die künstlerische Fotoarbeit immer wichtiger und nimmt ungeahnte, wunderbare Folgen an. Also folge ich 2010 dem Weg der Leidenschaft und verdiene mein Geld mit Kunst...

Freue mich über jeden Besucher, dem ich einen kleinen Moment Freude bereitet habe.
Und ganz herzlichen Dank für die unglaublich vielen wertschätzenden und motivierenden Kommentare.

Kontakt: In den letzten Monaten habe ich so viele Kontaktanfragen bekommen, dass ich passen muß! Gegenseitige Kontakte kann ich nur noch bestätigen, wenn wir gemeinsam tatsächlich via eMail Kontakt aufgenommen haben!

Hi and welcome!

My name is Mario van Middendorf, I am living in Cologne, Germany. My profession was to work as a grafic-designer and text-freelance for any companies after being many years Creative Director in big advertising agencies like Ogilvy. Since 2009 all things changed and I went back to my roots: artistic photographie. So I will follow 2010 my path of passion...

Thanks for visiting my life! I hope my pics gave you a short moment of peace and happyness! ;-) Please understand, that in future I only will validate contacts, if there was a real contact via eMail before!

My stream and my first published works in the US Magazine "Somerset Digital Studio" are dedicated to my wunderful and dearly beloved Mom Alice, who died on cancer much too young 20 years ago. And also dedicated to some beautiful beloved women, who fight against this horror every day! God bless them and will help to win the fight!

    "It's not easy to find a photographer who can take us into the image itself, at that place into that scenery as if we were the ones inside. You go even beyond... you put us in contact, communicating with the elements and subjects you picture. The so expressions are expressions of it and of yourself. What I like most is your ability to balance the "breaking of rules" to create something different and new. Finally this is one of the most important points of being an artist. Congrats my friend :-)"
