Kiss,

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

.. of the camera.

Yesterday my talented friend Steffi and me decided to make a little after-work portrait shooting with each other in order to get a better feeling for models and on how to give them feedback.

It's weird for me not to be the photographer - it's way nicer behind the camera :)

Even if Petrus seemed to be in a bad mood on May 28th as it was raining all day, the wedding of Sarah & Rueh was as beeautiful as blue skies and sunshine. Because of the bad weather we had to skip the portrait shooting, so here we go just with the reportage.

Well, kind of..

I just ran into the twitter profile of TheQuoteWhore, who has about 154.000 followers.

And look there - they are using my picture "push it" as  profile pic!

Pretty cool.

Kiss,

Last week i took the snap decision to take the next flight to Paris - in order to see The Maine live in concert.

Luckily my good friend Gerrard found time to guide me through the town. The time was pretty limited as I arrived on Friday and left on Saturday. Furthermore at this trip I really didn't care to much about photography.. :)

Anyway, here's a little bit of Paris.

Tutte le strade portano a Roma

~all roads lead to Rome~

See, whats going on with Romes streets.

Kiss *

Last week I was on a wonderful city trip to Rome.

It was a 3 day trip and compared to other city trips I really did not shoot to many picutures, as taking pictures in Rome somehow wasn't too easy for me.

Even if it was my second time in Rome I was overwhelmed by all the big monuments and historical buildings - therefore it was really hard to focus on the small and special things which I usually portrait.

For sure the pictures of Romes big attractions are fine - just as fine as they appear on the 1 million greeting cards..

Anyway, at least I tried to take some rather unusual pictures,

here comes PART I of my Roma-series.

Kiss,

Recently I had a little photoshooting with my homie & friend Sandy.

The intention was to shoot some pictures for her boyfriend's birthday. Yeah, we think he will be pleased. 

With your cherry lips and golden curls
You could make grown men gasp

when you go walking past

You  hold a candle in your heart
You shine the light on hidden parts
You make the whole world wanna dance
You bought yourself a second chance

Go baby go go
We're right behind you
Go baby go go*

In the early days I had a very black-and-white view of everything.

Kiss,

Topic of the "Projekt 52" Week 12 was "Relatives" (DE: Verwandtschaft).

PS: The pic reminds a little bit of this kind of scary Jack in the box guy , doesn't it?

#George Lucas

If a sunset looks like this, that's understandable, right?

Here some shots I took at SanDiego, Venice Beach, Long Beach.

My favourite one is Venice. There are always a lot of self-displaying people as well as party feeling and crazyness - I love that more than chill-out and relax time ;)

As I am still on a business trip to San Diego, I went to the Comic Con - which took place there - last friday. It was really amazing. A lot of craziness at one place.

I didn't take too much pictures,

but at least a couple of. Here are my favourites :)

Hey there,

last weekend I tavelled from Germany to the US for business.

We were lucky and had nice weather and a wonderful view out of the airplane :)

I made doubled use of it and took some pictures of the beautiful sky as well as one picture for the Projekt52 topic "up in the air" (DE: "hoch hinaus").

Here they are :-)

Kiss,

..the immensity of the fuck I do not give.

Sorry - but this saying always comes to my mind when I look at this picture. And my sister, who is on the picture, really doesn't give a fuck about a lot of things -  Love you Sis' :-*

Kiss,

During our last business trip to asia we had the chance to visit a "restaurant" for lunch, which was located not in a city but somewhere in the rainforest.

Here some snapshots I took there.

Kiss,

Hi all,

after I have seen some extremely impressive black and white photographs by artists like Tatsuya Sato I wanted to try this kind of reportage-picture-style by myself. Well..

Kiss,

Selamat siang,

as I am currently on my way back from Asia to Germany,

I have just used the time in transit at the airport to select and edit some pictures which I took two weeks ago in Singapore at the Thian Hock Keng Temple.

The colors there are very bright and clean – just like Singapore itself :)

Kiss,

Topic of week 12 was "Light & Shadow" - I interpreted it as "Light and Darkness". So here comes a kind of creepy picture of the little pink monster :)

Kiss,

A little #P52 post again.

Week 17 - Topic "Flower Power".

And as I am a bad texter, the picture just comes with some lyrics.

When I wake up,
The dream isn't done.
I wanna see your face,
And know I made it home.
If nothing is true,
What more can I do?
I am still painting flowers for you.

Kiss,

Hi all,

last weekend I've been in Munich to visit the German Soccer League derby 'FC Bayern München' VS 'Hannover 96' - the FCB won 7 to 0.

The atmosphere was great and I think I was able to take some nice pictures of the stadion 'Allianz Arena' itself, of the match and the fans.

Check them out:

Finally back from Asia!

Here just some random impressions..

Hi all,

last weekend I was at Melaka.

My favourite attraction there were the colourful flowerpower-bicycles.

They got a lot of them and every single one is handmade and looks different.

As the P52 topic of the week was "On Tour" and - for sure - I had my little pink monster in my camera bag I took the chance ;)

Don't let the world bring you down.

experience the warmth before you grow old.
