my name is kris. I grew up in germany - munich and bremen, where I studied architecture and design. for a while I lived in australia, before i decided to get married to my most wonderful husband, jan, and moved to the san francisco bay area.
I hope, you enjoy my work.
I feel more of a photo artist. often i think that it's a little sad that none of us is able to catch the beauty of reality, here on earth - ,because none of us is able to capture the other sensations. I always miss hearing the sounds and smelling the scents in the air, which is a very important part to me.
besides that I am a haptic person - so I miss feeling the surface of materials, the sun, the wind or the cold air.
nothing is as perfect as the real moment.
so, as an artist, I try to compose a feeling inside of the viewer of my photographs.
it would make me very happy and it would be a great pleasure for me to come to know your thoughts, while you view my photographs.
feel free and welcome to visit my website as well:
Nice to meet you, Kris - somebody from within my Pacific time zone .... Thank you so much for your comment - much appreciated!
greetings from an also rainy Vancouver!

"Well ... we never know who we are.
We never know why we are here.
We never know why we have been there.
And why we are still being nowhere sometimes.
And we don't have to know.
Knowledge doesn't really means power ... )"
i think in many circumstances we never will know.
i think about life and all of us in it a lot. the older i become the more i discover about it. but there is one funny thing, i can't help myself, i have the feeling, for each step we take there appears another to take.... ;))) it seems like an endless staircase to me .... lol
therefore, not long ago, i came to a conclusion ... which is,
"just live with open eyes, mind and enjoy every day of your life, and GROW ;), because this should be the reason for us to be here.
as artists, we reflect, dream and try to share with and inspire other human beings around us.
yesterday i found something like a mantra to heal our wounds and pain:
"IN; OUT.
DEEP; SLOW.
CALM; EASE.
SMILE; RELEASE."
from thich nhat hanh [ in his book " YOU ARE HERE"]
OLEG,
today i want to tell you that your thoughts have often inspired me. ... and i am probably not the only one!
thanks for being here, in our lifes!
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, Kris .... much appreciated. Nice to meet somebody from this side of the ocean - and continent.
greetings, Adele
I wish you not all possible gifts.
I wish only what most people do not have:
I wish you time to rejoice and laugh at you,
and if it benefits you, you can make something of it.
I wish you time for your actions and your thinking,
not only for yourself but also to give away.
I wish you time - not to rush and race
but the time to Zufriedenseinkönnen.
I wish you time - not just to distribute.
I wish she would be left to you
as a time for wonder and time for trust,
instead of gaze after the time on the clock only.
I wish you time to reach for the stars
and time to grow, that is, to mature.
I wish you time to hope again to love.
It makes no sense to move this time.
I wish you time to find yourself,
every day, every hour to feel as lucky.
I wish you time, even to forgive.
I wish: to have time to live!
schön daß Du Dir meine Fotos angeschaut hast!
Habe mich sehr über Deine Anmerkung gefreut.
Da Du jetzt in San Francisco lebst, kann ich Dir nur gratulieren. Ich war erst einmal da und habe mich sofort in diese Stadt verliebt. San Francisco ist für mich eine der schönsten und liebenswerten Stätten auf der Welt (nicht übertrieben).
Ich wünsche Dir immer genügend Licht und auch weiterhin einen guten Blick für ein schönes Motiv.

i just discovered this so cozy photo, and the fantastic and true good night story, which i want you to see and read it!
great, oleg!
Before you go to to bed, Angie, I want to tell you a little fairy tale I wrote for you some time ago ...
There are three sisters.
Their names are Belief, Hope, Love.
Two of them have homes.
Belief lives in temples. People build them all over the planet.
Love lives in houses. People build them all over the world.
The third sister, Hope, she is homeless.
She lives in our hearts.
She either moves there by herself or someone moves her in our hearts.
She gets kicked out by the other people very often or people kick her out by themselves in the moment of weakness.
But in any case ....
When Hope looses her temporary "hotel room" ..... the human being refuses to exist.
So we must keep her, she's like a navigator of the huge ocean ship named Life.
So we must keep her, because there would be no temple and no house without her.
There are three sisters, and they have never betrayed each other.
And they never will.
Hi Kris,
I have just picked up all your quick messages,
I am so sorry I didn't reply to any of them! I had my pop ups turned off and now I have hundreds of messages I have not seen!
Love Sally x
hi Kris :) i just can say "THANK YOU" for the feeling you share with me... i'm happy to know that someone so far from me can feel my world and find it interesting and beautifull... God Bless You!
Hi Kris, thank you for your lovely comment. I did attempt to write a book once and did two chapters and then couldn't think of the rest of the plot!!
Take care
Sally
I cant seem to comment on the blue one, it is in a different language and is asking me for a password, but it is very beautiful, nature is wonderful!
Sally
Hi Kris,
The postcard arrived! Thank you very much for sending it, the art of the postcard is not dead! I showed my friend and said it had come all the way from America!
Sally
Hi Kris, thank you for writing the postcard, I am sure you will get it in the post at some point!! I looked at your website and you have some lovely things there, you are very talented and imaginative! Keep up the good work!
Sally
Hallo Kris, vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar; die Wave ist wirklich atemberaubend und bei vielen Amerikanern unbekannt ;-)
Ich beneide dich, du lebst in der wunderschönen Gegend, die ich schon 3mal besucht habe (zum hoffentlich nicht letztenmal im Mai 2008).
LG aus Osthessen
