SWIM

My camera's water-housing didn't see water for about half a year now. Time for a check up and see if it's all working. A subject was easily found, my dog Pepper. I'm using an ewa marine, it's affordable and most importantly you can use different cameras and lenses. I know some people don't trust these things too much, but I've taken my D3 into waves (see here) or been diving with it about 4 to 6 meters (20ft) a couple of times (see here) with no problems. It just needs some preparations like locking the buttons and dials of your camera. Super simple and works just fine.




FOUND

Some of my photos just went 'live' on the Found Folios sourcebooks website, check it out here and take a look around, there's some great work to be discovered.

YAY


NOT WINTER


This winter I spent a lot less time wearing my avalanche receiver than in other years. Instead from early April on it was summer shred mode for whatever shoot I went to, Germany, France, US - it's always been wet snowboard socks, suncream, thin gloves, slush snow, travel chaos, too many people staying at one place, badminton tournaments, no jackets, swimming in the lake and snowboarding at the same day, ...

NOT WIMBLEDON

// ENGLISH VERSION BELOW... //

Einen Tennisplatz in Manhattan zu mieten ist nicht gerade eine günstige Gelegenheit. Es gibt allerdings jede Menge Wände an denen man sich selbst zu einem Duell herausfordern kann. Den Tennisschläger haben wir aus dem Müll gezogen, Bälle für zwei Doller aus dem nächsten Sportgeschäft geholt und los gings.
Mehr gibt's auf meiner Seite unter Sport...






Tennis courts are at a real premium in NYC, but there's plenty of walls everywhere that you can hit with a ball at no charge. We dragged the racket out of the garbage, got some cheap tennis balls from the next sports store chain and there you go.

BARBERSHOP

// ENGLISH VERSION BELOW... //

Im New Yorker West Village bin ich an einem sensationellen Friseurladen vorbeigelaufen. Dort gibt es nicht nur perfekte Rasur und Frisur sondern auch Espresso, Whisky oder Bier dazu. Und ist schon deshalb quasi ein echtes Männerpflege Eldorado. Wer dort sein sollte, unbedingt mal vorbeischaun und jetzt schon mal auf Facebook Freund werden.
Das und mehr gibt's auch in meinem People Portfolio zu sehen.

Ivan




I was cruising around in The Village in New York and walked by this amazing barbershop. Ivan is the coolest dude and you'll get a perfect haircut or shave from him. On top of that you'll get espresso, whiskey or beers - pretty damn cool, hu? Get your next appointment there and become friends on Facebook.

DRIVE NOW

Für DriveNow, das neue Carsharing von BMW i, MINI und Sixt, ging es mit dem Helikopter über München um einige Luftaufnahmen zu machen, unter anderem habe ich die Fahrzeugflotte fotografiert, die auf dem Odeonsplatz aufgebaut war. Mehr zu sehen gibt's auf der DriveNow Facebook Seite.
