Journey

A recording of what I see and pay attention to in my everyday life.

Made Up
 

Window light is probably the prettiest light you can get in photography, so it is no surprise that it is being used for doing ones makeup too.

Up
 

If you follow the signs, then there is most often a way up and out from any situation you might be stuck in.

After a long day in the Alps with temperatures well above 30 degrees the best one can do is to cool down in a secluded mountain lake in the late afternoon.

Hairplay
 

There are certainly many hair-raising moments in life, but this is not one of them. If anything, I would consider this as a hairplay moment.

Hello Darkness
 

This might be a mix of "hello darkness my old friend" and "stairways to heaven". Two songs I can't stand listening to but keep popping up in my mind every now and then for some unexplainable reason.

Book Cover
 

This is what you get when you use Arsène Lupin, a fictional gentleman thief and master of disguise, to cover behind a book cover.

Stair Stare
 

Sometimes strange things just seem to take place right in front of you and before you know it, there is an image that makes you wonder about the story behind it.

Teleportrait
 

When you feel like taking a picture of an important person in the moment who lives about 2000 km away from you, you can either teleport yourself to that location or simply take a teleportrait.

Light
 

I tend to shoot a lot at night when things have calmed down and most people change from their daytime self to their spare-time self. I like to play with the available light that often sets the mood to let it direct the shot I am about to take.

Doors
 

They say that “When one door closes another door opens” and while that is mostly true, although not happening by chance but rather by the fact that a closed door makes us act instead of going on with the status quo, the original quote by Alexander Graham Bell actually reads “When one door closes another door opens, but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.”
