Dragon Figure


Sometimes I also try to find things at home that I can photograph. I own the dragon figure in the picture above since almost two decades, I got that thing in a shop that basically sold cheap “bells and whistles” or “Schnickschnack” as we would say in Germany when we talk about stores that sell decor and other things for a buck or two.

I like to use this lens for portraits, but I do … Continue reading Love Lock

I will definitely take more photos of objects, because this is fun too and you never know if you need some of the photos for related articles or so. I was attracted by the red colour when I saw the red ball on the red bench. Continue reading Red Ball, Red Background
