Photos from the school life

In the now almost 37 years of working at the high school "Gymnasium an der Gartenstraße" I have made a lot of pictures. Photos with analog cameras to slide or negative films. Until the mid-80s it was worth it even to develop the films  and the pictures to enlarge myself. For this, the school had a very well equipped laboratory. Mid 80's, the large laboratories came up and the prices for enlargements were there cheaper than the cost of self-development and enlargement. So the lab was only used to create special enlargements, especially for slides. Later, the analog cameras have been replaced by digital and the laboratory by computer and color printer. That makes things a lot easier, especially more stable. In many slides and negatives already gnawed the ravages of time, when I started to digitize them. Unfortunately, this is to look at many of the old photos, but they may have sentimental value.

Photos of my surroundings

The term "surroundings" here has many different meanings. We often walk with our dogs and I use to take my camera with me. This walks mostly are near by our home, that means the area around Wildenrath, Arsbeck, Dalheim, Wassenberg and event the frontier to the netherlands.

However wealso walk in the region of Aix la Chapelle (Aachen), in the near Eifel or anywhere else around Heinsberg. That all is included in the word "surroundings".

If there are special events near by as the horticultural show "Floriade" in Venlo in the year 2012, that's also "surroundings".
