Name: Ian Swarbrick
Born: in Preston, England, more than half a century ago
Place of residence: St Gallen, north-east Switzerland
What brought me here: a wonderful Swiss-born Italian woman,
Adriana, whom I married in 1996
Best thing I ever did: eben. Marrying her in 1996
Worst thing so far in my life: watching her battle cancer for nearly four years,
then losing that battle in 2017
Photographic speciality: landscape time lapse
and slow motion video of animals and events ("Brauchtum")
Why: I noticed that they combine well when fitted to ambient music
Sphere of operation: European Alps,
but with occasional side trips, notably New Zealand
Aims for this website:
- that people are uplifted by my videos
- to advertise my multi-media show "In search of Beauty",
presented live entweder auf Deutsch or in English
To whom: mainly senior folk in German-speaking Switzerland,
but I`m flexible
How to reach me: ian@alpinewonders.ch
