Und fotografieren. Und warum nicht in Hirschhorn. Wo die Wolken gerne mal tief fliegen. Ich bin ja ein grosser Freund von Zombiefilmen, und deshalb mag ich auch manchmal schlechtes Wetter und Nebel. Manchmal gibt es nichts langweiligeres als Sonnenschein. Deshalb werde ich mir diesen Winter auch schönreden, weil er so viele Wolken haben wird, und es wieder düster werden wird. I like!

Mannheim, nach dem gewonnenen Spiel gegen Argentinien.
Mannheim im WM Rausch. Habe mal die Farben rausgenommen weil mir das ganze Schwarz-Rot-Gold etwas zu bunt wurde. Man weiss es ja auch so. So feierte Mannheim nach dem Spiel gegen England am Sonntag am Wasserturm. Ein super Spiel bei dem sogar ich ständig vom Stuhl springen musste.
Inspired by Robert Franks The Americans I always wanted to travel across the USA and document the countrys state and its people in our -tough- times. The summer of 2010 has been my projected date ever since New Years eve 2008 and Im planning my trip as I write this blurb.
The experience of doing a road trip by car appealed to me at first, but I think of it as a very solitary experience and decided to put a different spin on my trip across the country. I will mostly utilize public transportation, namely the Amtrak and busses to meet people and interact with them; after all the human element is what makes my photographs speak to the viewer.

Leica M9, Summicron-M, 35/2
Well, that was a great day. Robbee and me went to Mainz to the Minikina. We had a great day checking tons of photography stuff. The people at the LEICA point gave us a M9 for 30 minutes and I had a SD card with me. So I shot the hell out of this ragefinder camera. For me it was such a big moment because I don´t think that I will ever own a M9. I know how a ragefinder works because I use a LEICA CL the most of the time, so it was easy for me to get used to a digital version. A great camera, small, easy to use, fast and well designed. So here are some pictures of that day at the Minikina and my lucky 30 minutes withe LEICA M9.
