I am living in the beautiful region of the Alsace in France.


Not far away from the swiss big city Basel.
My region where I live is a protected area
and it is called the petit camargue alsacienne.
look here for a little slide show of my region.

I love my nature around me. a wonderful garden.

More than 3000 species of insects and plants are waiting to be explored. look here what I mean
My photography started early in my life.
I was honored to get my first camera, when I was 4.
AGFA CLiCK, maybe you remember this oldschool
unique pocket camera.
Since this moment, I was completely fascinated
by making pictures of moments of my life.

With an analog Rolleiflex, a double lensed middle format,
I learned by myself what it is mean to make photos.
Canon was always my brand and since the digital
revolution made the technic easier, I shoot everyday photos.
my explore set you can click here

I have a big variety about my photography,
sometimes people told me. haha

I am not sure but here look and have fun things I like
I travel a lot and I have seen many places especially in asia.
family members in bangkok, were the reason for me
once to explore asia. thailand is the land of smile.

see here why.
also very impressive is siem reap, angkor wat in cambodia.
a good friend of mine said once "old stones" and he is right.

tempels nearly 1000 years wait for you to explore. look the slideshow
another passion after photography is diving.
many hours under water I was in thailand and egypt.
have a look on the slideshow of the underwaterworld, I explored.

blauearth says:
"If there's that one amazing person in flickr, it's got to be Sascha D. Rueb. He's a bundle of positive energy. He's influential, in the sense, that he inspires, excites, stimulates and enlivens this otherwise complex amalgam of different people. He has multifarious talents and fears nothing. His photostream is one of the coolest with diverse subjects, and never bland. But the best thing about Sash -- he is one of the few, who nurtures a friendship.
Hallo, mein liebling!
Bonjour mon cher!
Kumusta, mahal!

THROUGH_HAWAIIAN_EYES says:
"It is incredibly difficult to be a professional in the field of medicine
and law and yet, try to find my place here as an artist, a woman
with passion and creativity, and a photographer.
I often worry what others think of my work. Then comes Sash, like
a knight in white armour. He pulled me out of my comfort zone
and allowed me to create from the core and depth of my soul.
It is very hard for me to communicate on flickr. Yet, I am
so at ease in person.
I adore you Sash for allowing me to be myself and nurture my
creativity with your own photos and words, quotes, and good energy.
You are a rare diamond I found and will never lose....
All my love and Aloha from Hawaii and my heart,
Moanalani Ke`alohlani Roquette :)"21st November, 2009

You are one of the best on flickr, Sash. I treasure your friendship.
My deepest respect, dear friend.

"Sash is one of the sweetest here on Flickrland. He doesn't give comments for the sake of it but they actually mean something. I had always looked forward in seeing his emoticons on my stream because of that.
Needless to say, his works are truly spectacular and never boring. He always have something new and fresh. Reall creatice, talented and all around fun.
I look forward in seeing more of your wonderful works my dear! =)

"Sash est un grand bonhomme. Artiste designer, photographe, il possède une maitrise stupéfiante de la prise de vue tout styles confondus, et un art subtil du post processing. C'est un maitre de l'image, magicien à ses heures. Il est pour moi un des tous meilleurs.
Mais il est aussi un grand bonhomme pour son bel esprit, drôle, humble, et équanime dans ses commentaires.
J'aime beaucoup le personnage. Il est de ceux qui vous font avancer.
Shash, Un grand Merci, et continue, ne change rien surtout!
Amicalement,

Mystic Pekoe(Catching Up) says:
"Personality: I have never met a person like Sash either in Flickr or in the Internet. A gentleman to the core and a man with the big heart and with a fine sense of humor! Not only do his photos carry great meaning but some of the comments he leaves behind just make you laugh that entire day ~ A double treat (^_^)
His Work: He is what I may call "The Pied Piper of Flickr", I am proud to be one of the influenced people of his work! He uses great quotes from Great minds of the world to give everyone a better perspective to his colorful pictures "An Epitome of Wisdom"! Such a wide variety of shots amazingly composed. This is one of the streams my entire family follows very cosely in Flickr!!!
Here's one quote from Lord Buddha that best describes his work in Flickr "Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.”
Thank you Sash for sharing your work!
Love from India

"Mr. SASH*.....I thought about what it was Exactly that I wanted to say about you so that other flickr members would Understand me.
I came to the conclusion that there are NO WORDS that can accurately describe a man who has a heart the size of FRANCE* :-)
You are an Exceptional Artist, philosopher & photographer who
I respect more daily. Everyone who loves pictures & the entire "flickr" experience should add this man as a "contact"
see The World through his eyes and know real beauty ~ ~ ~
We are BROTHERS...like minded in so many ways.
If you comment & fave his work expect the same. No t all do this.
I have come to know you as a true Leader & Partner working with you in our groups. I appreciate everything you do for me & everyone else.
"CONGRATULATIONS" on making it to the TOP buddy.
YOU have paid your dues & you deserve all accolades for sure!!!
Take Care & Stay TRUE ALWAYS...I am Your Friend :-)

"Having only really been involved with Flickr as it should be used for only a very short while, I've been scrambing/running/jumping to catch up with all the knowledge and talent that is floating around in this webspace. There are literally millions of photos, and millions of people to learn from.
That being said, there are few with the level of talent that Insashi has that are still willing to reach down into the ooze of the basics and hand down some help, especially in easy-to-understand, and friendly terms.
His wealth of knowledge and expertise has no bounds.
Just be sure to watch for his posts to get a comment in - they fill up quickly!"8th July, 2009

"Sasch! You are very technological photographer, your photos are not just shoot-and-post ones, before they've been posted they were processed very carefully with your wonderful skills. You are like me, I don't post raw files because I know I can make it better with after-processes, why not, right? :-))
And one more quality I've found in you looking through your photostream is that you don't addicted to only one style, one kind of photography, you shoot every beauty thing you see, and that is the same with my point of view. We are too similar :-)) Love you for that :-))
What can I say about your personality? You are so fun and attentive at the same time! That's amazing how much of positive energy lives in you! WOW! You are damn talented photographer and damn great friend!"17th June, 2009

Every photo is a rich story, I always enjoy every details inside, and although we speak different languages, the idea of the photo can bring us together, he has a wonderful mind to communicate with the viewers through composition and colours.
"insashi" is a great artist, in the way how to mange visual effects and control the angles, which totally extraordinary for his works and these are great inspirations to me.
