<p>The great pyramids of Giza, Egypt.</p>

DEAR VISITOR.

 

A very warm welcome.

 

Yes, I could not decide whether it should be a purely professional website with some photos (I took over the last years) or a photo website about my profession as a brand enthusiast, communication specialist, strategist, and brand experience creator. 

 

That's why it has become like this right now. Have fun scrolling through. 
… and of course: thanks in advance for feedback and comments.

MOTIVATION.

 

Extra nothing for Internet Explorer users.

 

It took me a lot of effort to design the website that is displayed with many massive errors and bugs on Internet Explorer. That is my personal message to Microsoft. 

Eat this, Bill.
