Hi, I’m Berthold! I’ve got my first camera about 10 years ago or so. I’ve always been taking my camera on holidays, weekend trips and the like, but never got around to actually shooting at home. Over the last years, I’ve started to take things a bit more seriously and at this point I feel like I’ve invested way too much money into camera equipment for the photos to just rust and the files to corrupt on my external hard drive. I’ve also been told that my shots are not total garbage, so I’ve become more confident in sharing them with the world…
I always wanted to have a place where these memories could sit and be enjoyed at any time by myself, my family and friends as well as the rest of the world. For that purpose, I felt that platforms like Instagram are too short lived and would push me into a certain type of photography that I won’t enjoy. So this is how this project started… Let’s see where it goes!
