This is me. It turned out pretty good, but to me it's still the weirdest thing I've ever watched on television :-D Enjoy!
In-n-Out
"Almost three weeks without a post." Usually you find posts that start like that on blogs that are a few months old and close to be abandoned because the author lost interest. At least that's how I'm remembering it from the golden age of "web logs". Kids, that was before social media killed personal websites. Now, this blog is almost ten years old (check the archive, it's still all here) and won't die just like that. In fact, the opposite is the case. Once you scroll past the photo below, you will find out why...
The birth of GALERIE NEO NOIR
See this determined look? I was about half way through at that point. And last Thursday I opened my own gallery "NEO NOIR" in Kiel, Germany. Below are a couple pics Steffi and our amazing friend Anne took during the opening night. The girls were a huge help setting this all up and at this first night we had more beautiful people come and hang with us than I could possibly ask for. Now that this space has been created, more and more ideas for projects and exhibitions are arising. I'm happy to keep you posted about this journey. However, if you have a big interest in all the developments I recommend liking the gallery's page on facebook. Oh, and of course the gallery has its own website: galerie-neonoir.de
This girl...

Happy New Year from Portugal
Wishing you lots of sunshine, iced tea, or whatever it is you need for being happy!
The picture below I took at a spot named Cabo da Roca. And the picture of myself? Credit goes to Soul Season Lifestyle Photography.
Happy Mother Blog Anniversary Day
The photo blog you are currently visiting has its 7th birthday today. On each anniversary I try to come up with a post that's a little different from those regular posts that some of you find interesting, some of you inspiring and some of you just plain weird.
Well, since it's Mother's Day today, how about a photo of my mother and me? In my whole wide family (we are 5 generations of a wide spectrum of individuals) nobody is as driven to travel as she is. In fact, there has been so little interest that it was always very difficult for her to get going. However, she still did. She took all her courage, put me and my brother in her car, and started driving as far as all the way down to the south of France. Watching wild horses, bullfights, and eating hot dogs by the beach...it pretty much opened up whole worlds of new impressions to me. If you ever wonder where my appreciation for traveling comes from, it's this person.
Thank you mom!
Into the Void
One 'real' photo and some Instagram snaps from my 2-week road trip. I got this van from Escape Rentals - you might wanna have a look in case you are thinking of visiting New Zealand. I think they are great if you travel alone, and still okay for a couple. What I liked about them is that all of their vans are uniquely spray-painted with individual themes. I was happy to drive the Dali model, after they first tried to give me the Wurst model which -as you might guess- had sausages painted on in.
