38/365: It was a beautiful day today. And my brother and I made quite a big trip. Great fun, great views, great exhaustion.
37/365: With the bro, on the mountain.
36/365: My bro Alex resting and getting some sun after the our first day of snowboarding.
Good morning!
35/365: We’ve been driving all day to get to Châtel – which is right behind the Swiss border in the French alps. The flag in this photo grabbed my attention and I took a quick snap from the car. I think the photo turned out ok, and it quite nicely sums up our day and the scenery we’ve seen along the way.
34/365: Travel photo gear. We’re busy packing for our short trip to the French alps. This is the photo gear I’m taking. I love this kit and how compact it is. It pretty much all fits into the SnapR bag. Here’s what’s included in detail:
- Fuji X100s,
- BlackRapid SnapR 35 Bag, sling, and wrist strap,
- Joby Micro Hybrid Tripod,
- 2 spare batteries (3 in total),
- battery charger and cable,
- a mini towel,
- JJC LH-X100 lens hood,
- iPhone 5.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck
If you can enjoy exaggerated swearing, you’ll probably have a good time reading this:
You only get a limited amount of fucks to give over your lifetime, so you must spend them with care. As my father used to say, “Fucks don’t grow on trees, Mark.” OK, he never actually said that. But fuck it, pretend like he did. The point is that fucks have to be earned and then invested wisely. Fucks are cultivated like a beautiful fucking garden, where if you fuck shit up and the fucks get fucked, then you’ve fucking fucked your fucks all the fuck up.
33/365: I was coming around a corner, when the guy on the right just got out of the supermarket, re-joining his two co-workers that have been waiting for him. They started walking my way for 200 meters or so. And that’s when I made this photo.
32/365: Another cozy sunday at home. And as almost everyday, we made one or two coffees using the awesome AeroPress, which was a birthday present from Tim. Thanks, Tim!
31/365. Spent the day with Andre and Nicole, walking through Düsseldorf, taking photos and visiting a few galleries that are part of the Düsseldorf Photo Weekend 2015. Pictured is the “Tôhoku” exhibition by photographer Hans-Christian Schink. Other favourites were the “Dahinter steckt immer ein kluger Kopf”-series by Alfred Seiland and Gabriele Croppi’s „New York, Metaphysics of the Urban Landscape” photographs at gallery Clara Maria Sels.
30/365. Caught up with Jan, who I haven’t seen since our wedding in September. We met at his house and spend the evening talking, having a few beers (a Landbier from Bavaria, to be precise) and listening to metal. Well, until his 2-year-old daughter Ida was heard on the baby-phone. She couldn’t sleep anymore, and so she was allowed to join us. Jan put on some Mickey Mouse for her to watch, very much to her liking. Somehow we more and more joined in watching TV and we ended up going through old episodes of He-Man and The Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. Ahhh, good one!
