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.

Remains

Cagil just introduced me to this new documentary about people living at Salton Sea Lake - an abandoned area in the Californian desert which once was a flourishing holiday resort. After watching the trailer I felt like digging out another picture from this place that I haven't posted before.

This is the trailer:

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.

Latenight Iceland

From the three big trips I did last year (Iceland, Cuba, Burning Man), Iceland is the one I feel the strongest urge to repeat. I saw many of those amazing landscapes and I wouldn't mind walking in them again and again. The light is so interesting up there and it is constantly changing.For the future I have this vague idea of organizing tours to Iceland. Tours that are tailored to photography enthusiasts. I would take care of the whole transportation and lodging, and bring people to exciting photogenic locations - maybe combine it with an optional teaching part. I'm convinced that's a good idea. I would need to find an audience (do advertising) and learn about insurance issues, etc. I'll keep it in mind. Maybe you have some thoughts about it - feel free to share them with me.[buy a print]
