entry description
The Skaftá is a volcanic river in southern Iceland. It rises in the north-west of Vatnajökull, flows south in a wide arc and finally flows into the North Atlantic at Kirkjubæjarklaustur.

I was born in 1974 in Ebingen (Germany) and grew up in Sigmaringen, where I finished school in 1994. Afterwards I went to the university in Stuttgart where I studied architecture. I had jobs in different firms and meanwhile I live in the small town Immenstaad at the Lake Constance.I started with photography at the age of about 12 years with a very cheap analog compact camera followed by a better analog model from Braun.
