PHOTO ESSAY SERIES

In Yellow Looking for Fall’s Golden Beauty

January Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Self”

Always a camera in my hands.

Let’s get to know each other a bit more. That was Mary Chang’s intention. Present yourself. What does your inner or outer self look like? Who are you and what do you do?

Honestly, I’m not able to answer that question with limited word numbers and only one picture per story rules. But that’s why I decided to create a series out of it. I have more than one passion and also more than just one profession. So let me introduce myself.

Part one: The photographer.

Always looking for beauty in life. In nature, somewhere on the globe, and sometimes also in the air. I’ll never miss a moment to take a picture. With the camera in my hands, I’m in my happy place.

Taking photographs. Being a photographer. I do it for the joy of it.
