PATAGONIEN
Die Augen offenhalten. In fremde Kulturen eintauchen. Die Welt entdecken. Reisen stillt meinen Hunger auf das Leben und meine Neugierde auf die Welt und andere Menschen - ganz ähnlich wie meine Arbeit hinter der Kamera. Dieses Foto entstand bei einem Rucksack-Trekking mit meiner Frau in Patagonien.
