Born and raised in Germany, now living in Austin, Texas. I love to travel, and when travelling to cities, I just love to meander through the streets, look at the architecture, and soak up the atmosphere of a place. I like to alternate my vacations between big cities and beaches, and especially like to go to places that have both. My dream is to live at or near a beach some day.

I have become very inspired by other flickr members and hope to read the manual to my camera some day (a little Sony cybershot) and learn how to use the settings. In the meantime, I am just documenting what catches my eye along the way. Mostly I want to remember what I saw and where I've been; and of course, sharing those sights with the flickr community.

"We don´t make a photograph just with a camera; we bring to the act of photography all the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard, the people we have loved." by Ansel Adams
"Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution." (Ansel Adams)

"If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera." ~Lewis Hine

    "Kokkofish, I love your approach to photography. Many of your subjects are casual and impromptu, which I've really come to appreciate. What I've taken from you is to just have fun with photography. My camera's always in my handbag now, although I never remember to use it. I enjoy seeing parts of the world through your photography...through your eyes. I look forward to seeing more of the world, as you see it!"

    "such a creativity, courage and spontaneity needs my testimonial here and now - and its an honour to be the first one (or a shame - from a different point of view!). there is so much freshness, often joy and depth and thinking behind and beyond in your pics - and sometimes just fun and good observation and always an interest of sharing and communicating with others, exchanging views and ideas and - learning, growing and to be open... a wonderful example what Flickr. can be and can give... thanks a lot and best wishes
    - you are aware how much you are developing in your art, your work and your photostream?
    das macht sinn und - weiter so - ich bin gespannt, was da noch alles kommt...
    (Mahalo plenty, as the Hawaiian say and - ALOHA - or in Texas: SALUDOS to everybody and to the mexican border...)"
