Usually Photographers mount something called a lens hood in front of their camera lens when shooting outdoor on a sunny day. In Germany people call these thing Streulichtblende. It sounds much nicer than lens hood, so i will use the German word instead In short, this photographic accessoire prevents that light enters the lens from the side, [...]

There is this place in Aachen which was placed in between Borngasse not so long ago. Here are some images of this place at night.
A short, kind of fictional picture story i made up out of yesterdays street photographs 
Bending Boundaries seems to me like more fun then just living with them
more racing …
The road is long, dusty and hot (when you travel by donkey). For us three, that was: Dirk from Germany, Shigeru from Japan and myself, it was a rather long, clean and airconditioned bus experience to get from Kayseri to Malatya. There are some nice wide views and scenerys during the 350km ride.

I travelled to Göreme in the Cappadocia Region by train from Istanbul and checked in at the Kookaburra Pension. On the 2nd day i went on a Daytrip to a Canyon, the Turkish Star Wars Movie shooting site and a big Underground City.
Recently i started to read a lot about Istanbul as the gateway for a lot of travelers to all kind of destinations in the middle East and Asia. Especially the late 1960s hippie trail is a funny story to read about. Starting in Istanbul, leading on land all the way trough Iran, Afghanistan and so [...]
And one more time …
this time from the Topkapı-Palace, it translates as Canongate Palace.
A huge residence where most of the Ottoman Sultans spend their time while ruling over the Ottoman Empire during at least 600 years. The Palace is like a small Village with loads of different buildings which have their special function, for example the [...]

Time for the traditonal old stuff sightseeing tour i thought and went down the Istikal street, riding a nostaligic German tram towards the Sultanahmet Area on the European side of [...]
According to the Dalai Lamas “Instructions for Life” one should visit an unfamiliar place once in a year, as often as it is possible i mean. So i went to the Capital of my “Motherland” Poland called Warszawa. Joanna was so kind to give me a place to stay and we went crisscross through this [...]
Finally we made it trough the winter! But still it was kind of beautiful to see the snowflakes falling slowly
I bought this little red laser diode on the flohmarkt for 3 euro last weekend and curiously tried it out on some transparent items to see how the light breaks. So here are some impressions, kind of overpostproduced within lightroom..but very cool results for the first trys, especially this little star relieved his inner pentagon, very cool imo!
16th January 2010, what a wicked party night with great atmosphere! The 6th edition of the local Dub&Bass party took place in Autonomes Zentrum Aachen, featuring Ikonika and Orson. Big Night! Hopefully those images can transfer to You those good vibes! Unfortunately more and more beer seemed to work against the build in shake reduction

Schneeweiss und Grauschwarz sind so die Töne der letzten Tage, wie auch deren Fotografien, die sich irgendwo zwischen dem Preuswald und dem anderen Ende der Stadt ereigneten.
Aussichten?…graugrau bis dunkel grau
Heute war arbeiten angesagt, und da es doch so schneeisch draußen war musste ein Spaziergang doch gut tun, das tat er auch :] Abends ein bischen Dub&Bass in der Raststätte und noch mehr Schneefall , sieht doch ganz schick aus wenn er von unten beleuchtet wird! Die H2O Promotion ist auch stark, vor allem weil [...]
