SELF PORTRAIT

There's this running gag among snowboard filmers / photographers that the only riding we get to do is photobackpack sideslipping. It wasn't like that on our recent Catboarding trip to Canada. We did so little hiking but so many runs that I got to ride my snowboard quite a bunch. To bring home some proof Shayne Pospisil gave me his GoPro for a run, so here're two screengrabs of me in action. Good times!

TRAVEL SEASON

Travel season began. A few snaps from the road going from Germany to Canada.

meals (really?), airports and a honest laugh at a passport picture

middle of nowhere, small towns, grocery shopping (543$) and the couches at our place

TORSTEIN HORGMO

// ENGLISH VERSION BELOW... //

Torstein Horgmo Portraits für das Pleasure Magazin. Fotografiert in Frankreich gegen 23.30 Uhr auf einer Toilette, die während dem Shoot von drei Leuten 'besucht' wurde. Erst leicht verwirrte Blicke wegen unserem Blitz Setup, dann der beißende Geruch des Sprühlacks. Nervöse Geschäfte. Wir haben so lange draußen gewartet. Was einem eben drei X-Games Goldmedaillen und Triple Corks so einbringen, mehr Torstein Fakten gibt's auf Wikipedia.

The latest issue of Pleasure Magazin (no 'e', it's German) just hit newsstands, featuring Torstein Horgmo's interview. We shot the portraits at around 11.30pm in a restroom in France. We had three visitors during our shoot who gave us some nervous looks when entering the toilet. We had some lights set up, then there was the smell of the spray paint, all kinda suspicious. We patiently waited outside. Triple X-Games Gold, Triple Corks and some more facts about Torstein can be found on Wikipedia.

TORQEEDO

I had the pleasure of shooting images for Torqeedo on locations (read: in and on the water) in Germany and Croatia. I'm totally hooked on their product - electric boat drives, powerful and efficient. No fuel, no exhausts even anywhere close the water, brilliant. If you like go ahead and download the entire catalog from their website Torqeedo.com here're some tear sheets for now. New website, packaging and advertising images coming up. Lot's of highlights during those days, thanks to Stefan, Christoph, Susanne, Maja, Uwe and everyone involved.

vs YOU

vs YOU is a pretty exciting little brand, keep your eyes peeled for them. I recently shot some images for their lookbook and other goodies yet to be formed in the hands of designer Flatau THESIGNER.

SNOWSTYLE COVER

Had this in the mail the other day, the latest issue of Snowstyle Magazine, Japan. Stoked to see my photo on the cover. Freddy is riding a "I ride for Japan" board, a little message he and the designer of this one-of graphic came up with.

EISBACH

Munich's meanwhile famous river wave hasn't lost anything of it's appeal and still serves as scene for all kind of filming and shooting. One exciting project by Tom Prior should be on his website and blog anytime soon, keep an eye out for it. I find myself keep going back there, here are some shots from this summer. Far and close. The view from above is also the photo on the opening page for the Eisbach chapter of the "River Surfing" book - and yes, I chartered a helicopter to get this photo.

Die mittlerweile recht berühmte Eisbachwelle in München hat nichts von ihrer Faszination eingebüßt, so verwundert es nicht, dass dort noch immer viel gedreht oder fotografiert wird. Ich selbst gehe immer wieder gerne hin um dort zu fotografieren. Hier sind ein paar Bilder von diesem Sommer. Das Luftbild ist übrigens auch der Opener des Eisbach Kapitels im "River Surfing" Buch. Ein Projekt auf das ich sehr gespannt bin, ist das von Tom Prior, es gibt bereits die ersten Bilder auf seinem Blog zu sehen und hoffentlich bald auch das ganze Projekt.

ISENSEVEN FEATURE

Isenseven is a creative force in Snowboarding, they make things happen and have quite some impact on the scene. I'm thankful for being friends with the guys and stoked on this feature they did on me on their new website isenseven.tv, check it out.
