More than eight years ago I discovered Photography as a
creative medium for me. I've always been painting, sculpting or designing for as long as I can remember, my creative imagination running wild and needing an outlet.

I just have fun taking photos .. and I hope you have fun too while looking at them.

I try to work only with natural light, concentrating on the small details that make life so special, so precious ...
If I can provoke feelings, make the viewer feel touched and at the very least smile,
that's when I say: Mission accomplished.

    "I am always amazed when I visit this photostream. There is always depth, passion and often messages... sometimes light sometimes not. The images are always first rate! Christiane's photostream is among the very best on flickr for quality and content. My personal faves of hers include exceptional macro-work and fantastic food images (when she does that my mouth just waters). She is a true artist and a great inspiration. :)"

    "Christiane (Nane), my soulsister – she is a wonderful friend and talented photographer. She puts so much spirit and mood into her photos – I'm always fascinated and impressed by her outstanding work and eye! I love her „on black“ and „on white“ sets and ... every photo you'll find in her photostream! She's also able to show in her images simple things with such a special look, on a way that they become art! I admire Nane as an artist and photographer and I'm happy to call her a true friend!"

    "Christiane is one of the very few people I know with the rare gift of expressing emotions through photos. Many of her subjects are simple, yet she approaches them in an original and refreshing way, yielding surprising results. I feel that her camera is an extension of her eye and her mind. I am always especially impressed by her minimalist work and her "on white" shots. I also value her as a good Flickr contact. Having had the pleasure of meeting her, I look forward to going on a second Flickr walk with her some time :-)"

    Please visit her more often & discover more.....

    You are great....."

    "Whatever the subject, Nane will capture it in a way that brings justice to the cameras maker. She is an ambassador of good will through her images and friendly encouraging words. Always there with a good morning and weekend cheer, she is a true appreciator of natural beauty and literary prose, a true photographer, and a fine and loyal friend. I never miss a day without checking what latest beauty she has captured... I know doing so makes me feel better... a scientific and well-documented fact!... :D"

    "I feel like we're kindred souls on different continents! I LOVE molasses & gingerbread cookies - Chai tea & carmel lattes - but never have the time or $ to travel. How do you afford it? My husband & I always dreamed of the european vacation by hiking & back-packing...and now you've made me feel like I'm THERE!! Thank-you so much - your colors & angles always create interest & stir memories. I'm only an amateur - with no digital uploads yet."
