Dear Christchild!

Please help people realize that using B/W-film doesn’t necessarily lead to interesting photography.

Thank you.

I could make an entire exhibition about that very bus station.

What a hair-cut… and that bag.

Decisive moment.

I’ve seen the light. Again, could make a show featuring pictures taken in that park.

Take the picture, damnit.

Red wine. Way to go.

The scratch… actually, it fits because it’s sort of a connection… a surreal… expressive… oh!

China town.

Hey, remember that place? Just this time it’s pouring like hell. Lacks of an umbrella though.

Hmm… a chair on the sidewalk. Well, at least the tones are very <3.

We were having food at some chinese restaurant. Most of the time I’m fine with the 0.7 m minimum distance but this time 0.5 m would have been perfect. Oh well. (INTERESTING STORY THX4SHARING!)

A guy from the US was sitting next to us, when he heard that we were kind of celebrating my birthday he bought us a drink. Well, good boy I am I finished her beer as well… “inhalieren”.

His name’s Stacey and he’s a basketball trainer here in Austria. We had a great time talking about Chinese military personal, smoking pot in Hawaii and the diversity of European countries.

Enrique “wet pants” Iglesias.

One of her birthday presents was Women by Bukowski. Sweet.

Next morning. “No funny stuff.” (Big Lebowski)

Contacts.

Zeiss. I like it.

Hot.

The frame is boring but the bokeh… the bokeh! If there is nothing special I just drool over the bokeh or the tones or awesome +fav

At the cinema.

A rather creepy McDonalds self.

Taking pictures for the sake of it. It’s fun after all.

Austria.

Am umbrella. For Stefan.

400TX. <3

It was raining like freaking hell. On my way picking up some Kodak 400TX.

Tram station blues. Wee…

Mit Buch!

Snow.

Pub.

Das Zuckermännchen Stefan.

Der Alte. Extra Trocken.

Peekaboo.

Cell phone. Awesome!

“Geh scheißn.”

A self-portrait. Reflecting the suffering of an artist. An artist that gets denied. Denied and taunted for his talents. Talents yet to be appreciated and aspired. Oh well, oh well.

Serious conversations about serious business.

That scene is kind of surreal – don’t you think? IT’S ART!

The very last frame on that roll. I’m a cheapskate and use every mm of my films… I have a hard time putting the weights for drying on the end of the film. Hence excuse the dust.

More reading for my series. Fantastic.

Perhaps the cutest dog I’ve ever come across. I’m wondering if it’s shit is also that cute.

I really can’t get enough of that kind of photographs. Sorry.

More reading.

I’m a sucker for that kind of shots. <3

Still.

Somehow, I like winter. Sometimes.

As I’m a fine artist, even my presents are pieces of fine art. All of them are signed and part of a limited edition series.

Sometimes, pigeons find awkward places for a nap.

So I took the bus. And saw this. And my nose was filled with the smell of… punch? Sweet christmas time. Sweet jerks getting drunk and puking around.

But in the end, it all fits together. It becomes a piece of art that will eventually freeze and manifest the power of man’s liver and stomach.

But in the end, in the end it comes all down to a good roll of Kodak Tri-X 400. It’s all that matters.

Merry Christmas to all of you. It’s snowing a bit outside… should take some pictures and make a nice christmas-card.

Anyways, enjoy your holidays! For me, work is calling on Thursday – again Nikon promotion stuff. I’ve been working quite a lot this month which is also the reason why I have been quite reluctant updating the blog. However, it won’t change as January means lots of university work and stuff. Oh well. You know, the busier you are, the more important, the happier. +fav
