“Climbing is all about freedom, the freedom to go beyond all the rules and take a chance, to experience something new, to gain insight into human nature.
— Reinhold Messner
On the ridge of Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix, France.
I was incredibly lucky to spend many amazing years climbing and photographing in the Alps. I am especially grateful for an early support of Nikon Europe, G-Technology, Rab and LowePro. The biggest thanks however, go to the authorities of the Autonomous Region of Aosta Valley in Italy who hosted me for many months and where I eventually settled with my family.
