Making films began In 1970:
I met Angelik Riemer, a painter, in summer of 1970
at Berlin's cosy little LAKE HALENSEE .

I fell in love with her immediately
and shared life with her since that day on.

When in  » 1970 we visited my then best friend
Peter K. in Denmark, I asked her to come along.
To my surprise, Angelik had a
 » EUMIG super8 camera
in her luggage - and I shot my
first Super8 film
during that trip and went crazy for that media!

In summer of  » 1971 when Peter B. (aka PMB)
was about to marry Christiane he asked me
to do some Super8 rolls on his wedding.
what I loved to do with that
 » BAUER C3A Super8 cam
his daddy had bought him just then.

The folling weeks and month I used to borrow
that little cam as often as possible
to do some adventurous and delicate films
starring Angelik.

Eventually, in 1973 I was able to buy my first
BEAULIEU
 » 4008s
(Schneider Kreuznach 1,8/8-40mm lens).

- that's when a
Super8 surge
swepped over  »FABRIKNEU
where Angelik and I lived and worked now
after her return from London's
 »Slade School of Fine Arts.

Iin April 1976 the marvellous BEAULIEU
 » 5008 s
(Angenieux 1,8/6-66mm lens)
brought » live sound to our films.

Well, to round things up in the late 70s
Fuji
started to produce lovely lightweight and handy
Single8
film cameras:
easy to carry - easy to use - more fun!

Eventually, we shot all  »"quickies"
with that fine all time ready
 »P300
until the early 80s.
