This is a series I shot in October this year in the Weinbergspark, in the middle of my most favorite season for colours. The works are actually an evolution from a series in 2010.

Happy August and happy weekend!

I love Berlin! Berlin is a wonderful city because it is diverse, it has so many different people, art, things, everything. You can focus on whatever you love and spend all day living for it and won't be bored for a very long time.
I always loved this particular Berlin Mitte art on the photo, those artists never minced words, they always expressed what they don't like about the center of the city that becomes more and more expensive, more and more boring and more and more crowded with superficial people (generally speaking). But that's probably the fate of the center of every real metropolis. And to be honest, when you move out a bit you'll find areas again with more art, alternative lifestyles and creativity. Berlin stays my most favorite city in Germany, and to be honest I haven't been to a cooler city anywhere else in the world.

ps: Thank you, Berlin, the Tempelhofer Feld stays! :-)
Ha, yesterday I decided to distance myself from facebook finally the way I wanted to do it last year.
That means I will still use it as my main news site but I will collect all the posts and articles that I find important, edit them and post them here, means there will be MUCH more content from now on on this blogsite. I will drop most of the stuff from facebook therefore, as long as it's not something really important or very personal :-) Apart from that you can meet me, call me, write me, come to my exhibitions, buy my products or follow this blogsite. You can also leave your comments below. Hope this works out. Exciting!
Here are the latest images and older ones I edited for multiple purposes. See you here! :-)
Happy weekend!

I really have to force myself to blog more, facebook makes you lazy. And that's not good, for me and for others, too. We spend too much time on facebook anyway and I think we have to at least think about being able to leave it for a while or completely. Facebook has so much junk and so many ads, why not enjoy websites that look great and don't have ads at all, not even a facebook button like mine ;-)
Well, here are a couple of images from 2009/2010. On a 13 month trip I shot over 40.000 photos and every now and then I go look at some of them and every time I find some I haven't seen since back then. The following ones are a random selection that I posted on facebook today but then I realized that last year I only wanted to post images on my own blog site. I need to keep doing that instead of just uploading them onto facebook, damn it ...

Never forget where you're coming from - that's what Take That sang once :-D I was born in Bonn in Western Germany but my parents moved to Ostfriesland next to the sea when I was three years old. All my childhood I spent in an area that after years of living somewhere else is growing on me again from a distant perspective. It's hard to overlook that the landscape is simply magnificent, a reason why my parents came in the first place. I had an appointment on Tuesday in Wilhelmshaven and spent two days in Leer, Friedeburg and somewhere in between on the countryside. One day I will come back and make a series "Ostfriesland" with a real camera, a film medium or large format with up to Gigapixel resolution for giant print sizes. It'll be great! ...
Happy May!
