imperfiction

An objective entrepreneur; a resourceful decision maker; and an analytic strategist. A black-and-white digital photography enthusiast and technology evangelist with passion for craftsmanship. This would be my short description of who I am and what drives me. You’ll find pictures, poems, thoughts, and forwards here.

I am educated in psychology and statistics and have been working in event management and career development at a private university in Germany. I have a small independent business in perfumery and have designed several perfumes available exclusively at Aus Liebe Zum Duft. From my psychology background, I am interested in multi-sensory integration and learning and my perfumes have been created with this in mind. They are to be combined with the stories that inspired them and to interlock in a new multi-sensory reality.

Photography is another medium where stories  and imagination build new dimensions. Through the past several years, I have taken numerous photographs of various subjects (architecture, macro, landscape, etc.) but by far the ones I’ve enjoyed the most are black-and-white street photography. The unique slice of time that one sees in that singular moment is like a parallel universe that just momentarily merges with the one we exist in. That’s what makes the photographer press the shutter. I have been a Canon user for 4 years but have recently switched to a Leica M8. I post a lot of other trivia on my Facebook profile, or Twitter.

On LinkedIn I have my complete CV. You can contact me through one of those tools or via email.

Why “imperfiction” and what does it mean?

Playing with the words, Imperfiction makes reference to the word “fiction” – the inspiration and the product of this blog. Each story is about a person, a place, a feeling that inspired the perfume ingredient/ the aperture/ the forwarded video/ etc. Each new post becomes an association and a reflection of reality – hence fiction. But it is still an illusion – it is imperfect, it is skewed through my glass, through my nose, through my online clicks. It is an imperfect reality if you want.
