TASCHEN Cologne, Germany. Since I was a young boy I always liked TASCHEN books. I guess my interest for photography started when I discovered these books. Now, many years later, I’m living just five minutes away from the first TASCHEN store, which is based in Cologne. Everything started here, in this city. I never thought of myself as a photographer when I was young, and I almost had forgotten that my first contact with photography, started when I saw for the first time a TASCHEN book.
