Air travel is a necessary evil. Due to last minute booking of my flights to Cape Town, I managed to have two overnight flights in three nights. That’s not fun! Also, I was really looking forward to seeing a bit of Cape Town, but when I arrived at the airport, we were taken directly to [...]

“It’s such a beautiful day, I think I’ll walk.” Actually, I went to the canal to feed the swans. I took my camera, to practice taking photos without looking through the viewfinder. As I was trying to take a photo of a swan taking bread out of my hand, a man walked past with two [...]

I had to write an article about the Berlin Juggling Convention this year, and I need some photos. Instead of focusing the show and normal things that appear in convention reviews, I’d concentrate on five other things: Daniel’s Geek Table, Fight Night, The Fashion Show, Sport Hocker and the Fashion Show. Katrin had asked me [...]
