These are the gems of the monochrome photos taken using the classic twin lens reflex Rolleiflex,
covering the history of the photographer with this camera.
My passion for the 6 × 6 square format and great attachment to Rollei are very apparent in this collection.

The theme of Volume 1 is Classic.

My monochrome world will inspire in you nostalgia for the beauty and reassuring retro ambience of the good old days.

I encountered the Rolleiflex on the occasion of the tenth anniversary
of my marriage and fell in love with it at first sight.

The first camera I ever owned was a twin lens reflex.

Enchanted by the square world of the reflected images,
I traveled around taking photos, mainly landscapes, and confined myself inside the darkroom
day after day to represent what I saw in monochrome.

The square space visible through the viewfinder somehow relaxes me.
It will keep inviting me into a different dimension of my surroundings in the future.
With deep admiration for such a world, I press the shutter release.
