Empty Rooms - Statisten gesucht!

Mauritius Galerie, Wiesbaden, Germany

Together with NIZZA DES NORDENS and Herr Mattes I'm working on a new art project here in Wiesbaden. Anyone who feels like it can be part of this project by being an extra in our pictures. The shooting as well as the exhibition takes place in an abandoned shopping mall. I think we're gonna have some fun!

Zusammen mit NIZZA DES NORDENS und Herr Mattes suche ich Menschen, die an einem Foto-Kunstprojekts als Statisten mitwirken möchten. Shooting und Ausstellung wird in der Wiesbadener Mauritiusgalerie stattfinden. Fotografiert wird am 4. Juni. Mehr dazu könnt ihr hier lesen. Bei Fragen könnt ihr mir gerne mailen.

Chasing Sunrays

Here in Germany we're spoiled with beautiful weather since quite a while now. I had a first swim in an ice cold lake today. After spending two days staring at it I finally made the jump. This is a picture from a nearby forest taken a couple of hours later.

The Rat's View

A Rat's View of the Chrysler Building

If I were a pop musician "A Rat's View of the Chrysler Building" would be my biggest hit. Almost always when someone talks to me about my photography this picture becomes a topic. I decided to make a new version. However, this new version doesn't show a New York City landmark. Instead, it shows the biggest landmark of my little hometown in Germany:

A Rat's View of the Limburg Cathedral

My hometown has a very old yet well maintained old part with "a full set of nearly unscathed mediaeval buildings".

I have the honor to be featured and interviewed on FlattrChattr. If you are not yet familiar with Flattr, it is known as a social micro payment system. Yes, this is about real money. Every time a Flattr user clicks on one of my Flattr-buttons, I get a little bit of money. Great, huh? To receive money however, you have to pay in something, too. Last month I got 30 clicks which translated to 30 Euros. My biggest Flattr revenue so far was in August 2010, when I received €135,65 (about $190). All together there are now 323 Euros waiting to be picked up. This is how much I received since I joined last year. Thank you all for Flattring my work! The article is right here.

The Castle of Runkel & Fundraiser News

The Castle of Runkel was built about 1059 A.D. and is located in a small town in Germany. If you're eager to know the exact location, you can follow this link. And if you are eager to have this picture on your walls at home, you may order it through my online store. And yes, my profits are still being donated to Japan in full.

Fundraiser news: FotoMoto has joined us!

Our "Photographers for Japan" fundraiser is still going on, and we just extended it once more till April 14. FotoMoto is the company that prints Steffi's and my pictures and sends it to you after you ordered it. They like our fundraiser idea so much that they decided to chip in their share of all our prints sold from March 14 till April 14. Meaning, it's becoming more and more worth getting prints from us to support Japanese tsunami victims. You can read about this on the FotoMoto blog.
