Gallery Notes
For the last few years, I have started to document photographically Swiss romanesque churches. These images were taken with a film camera (a medium format Rollei SL66 or Ebony 4x5" view camera) and are available in both limited edition silver gelatin prints on fiber base paper (contact me for pricing) or archival inkjet prints (click to view the price list). Unfortunately, these low resolution images do not even begin to do justice to the amazing texture of these old stones. Please click here to see a higher resolution image of the crypt of St-Mauritius Church (Amsoldingen, 11th century).
