Unfortunately this beautiful piece of artwork from the 50s is in german. For those who know German, I hope you enjoy to read some lines and maybe get some better results when shooting with a flash. I got this brochure with a camera pass from 1957, when he bought a RETINA camera.

It took my a while to decide posting the wedding pictures from Amelie & Roland I took a week ago. Its not that I’m ashamed for doing wedding photography, I actually really enjoyed it. Its just not really the photography I stand for usually. Anyways, a selection of 5 is posted below. Enjoooooooooy.

After one month not writing anything on my blog I thought its time to tell what I am doing and what I did the past 4 weeks. The highlight for the month of June was for sure my internship with DPA. Since I’ve been there my hunger for photojournalism has been grown. But still it looks really bad to earn any money with photography right now. Everybody is saving money, and even well known photographers have to get the “in-need-ration” from their accounts. So, all I can do is carry on taking pictures. (I think I said a couple of months ago already, anyways). Actually I earned my first money with photography, shooting a wedding. Even though I like what I did, I don’t like to show it either here nor on my website.

Lets talk about yesterday night: At the Schanzenfest, many capitalism enemies found together to celebrate life. Only a couple of seconds later the official end was announced through a microphone from a music stage, the first bottles flew through the air. I found myself in a middle of a big fight within less than a minute. First, crazy than I began to photograph and got used to the situation pretty quick. I just needed to be careful with bottles coming from above.

Another picture from Denmarks coast line. Check the landscape section on my website. Maybe some people realized already, that my memory is not the best. Therefore I don’t know if I told you the story about the printer dude who told me once he saw my forest pictures back in winter time, that to take pictures in the forest isn’t the most easy thing in life. In other words, those pictures look more like a 2nd semester student art project instead of professional photographs. Maybe the color makes it. Maybe not. I am still ambitious to become the best forest photographer the world never seen before. Good evening.

A short trip to Denmark was definitely nice and by the way my first time to visit the country which is so close. Denmark is landscape wise beautiful, but the most stunning thing I saw were the colors of sunsets, sunrises and the water. With long exposure times I got the results I wanted to have: See in the picture what you feel. Click the picture to see all 3 horizons.

The last two days happened something again. The big German coffee company decided not to book me as a photographer since they don’t have ‘enough’ money to afford a photographer at all. So still no job but at least I got the internship with DPA and am allowed to follow a photo journalist in the first week and probably work on my own in the second week. Well, that’s pretty cool. Additionally I visited my old agency GGH in Hamburg I used to work for before I left to travel. One of the leader dudes connected me to a very well known German photographer. I don’t have any experience in assisting, so I keep my expectations to get a chance low. Lets see. In case we get along and he’d give me a chance: Awesome awesome awesome. OK, time to calm down again. So I am at the beginning again and its a every day fight to follow the path of making money with photography. The only thing I have for sure is the DPA thing. I want to travel less and stay more in Hamburg. Therefore I can’t photograph glowing vulcanos or lonely trees at the end of China. My escape is right behind the house I am living in. Tonight I went out again to take pictures and unfortunately it didn’t turned out to be as stormy as I thought.
