About Hans Klemmer: Hans holds a Masters in Fine Arts in Photography from the University of Ulster in Belfast, NI. He was a popular teacher at the College of DuPage for nearly twenty years where he instructed students in all forms of photography and photo history. He is currently based in the Chicago area, but has wandered the world extensively as a travel photographer since 1979. His work is in private collections in both the US and Europe, and several of his prints are in the permanent collection of the Royal Ulster Academy. When he’s not out making photographs, he can usually be found creating fused glass sculptures in his studio in Elgin, IL. Hans has also never ever owned any computer that didn’t have an Apple on it.
