announcing: Show Engiadina Shadows to be on display at the Engadiner Museum in St. Moritz, Switzerland July - September 2012

Photography and art as a mindfulness practice ...
You will find, besides photography, also some Japanese Ink Brush Calligraphies, Haiku poetry and Haiga (see info in the Haiga-Gallery), specially designed greeting cards and book marks.

Full resolution images are used for printing.
To order directly from this web gallery, click on 'add to cart', and proceed step by step to decide on mat or glossy paper, crop or no crop ( I suggest no cropping to maintain the full original image composition), use 'no colour adjustment' as my image files are already colour profiled, proceed to decide on framing or no framing, and on to contact details.

You can also contact me directly, in case you wish to receive a print made by myself, hand signed, dated, and numbered.

Thanks much for having a glimpse. Any comments and messages are welcome.
