"I don't need a super camera, a fully equipped studio or a super model. What I need is an intention, an idea and the freedom to implement it the way I think. That makes me get back in the wheelchair every morning. And if someone likes it, it makes me happy. Whether mobile phone or Hasselblad, whether pen or oil brush, whether pencil or Mac. Song lyrics, book script, campaign idea or handwritten line. Maybe a combination. The claim comes from the feeling and the visual aesthetics."
