Iceland and Greenland

10th
Jul. × ’10

The weather was terrible at the first stop in Iceland. Seydisfjordur isn’t really a jumping place, so all I did was go to a hotel to use the internet. In fact, the rain was so bad, I spent part of the morning watching Dexter. I finished all of season 3 in two days. My only [...]

The Blue Lagoon

4th
Jul. × ’10

The Blue Lagoon is an artificial lake, created by the outflow of a geothermic power station near the international airport in Iceland. I’ve visited Reykjavik so many times that I can spell it correctly without looking it up, but I’ve never visited its most popular near-by tourist destinations. Today I took that opportunity! Just after [...]

Faroe Islands

1st
Jul. × ’10

My first time in the almost-country called the Faroe Islands. This is a collection of islands half way between Scotland and Iceland. I flew in, past towering cliff and rolling hills, and landed at the tiny airport. On the way to the hotel me and another entertainer chatted to the taxi driver about killing and [...]

New work trip today!

29th
Jun. × ’10

I hope you can see the map above. On this new work trip I get to visit quite a few new places. Faroe Islands, Greenland and Newfoundland. I hope I have chance to see and do some interesting things. In Iceland I hope to re-visit that very ashy volcano. Other things I want to achieve: [...]

Berlin Fotomarathon 2010: one day later.

20th
Jun. × ’10

How did the contest come out, Luke? The Berlin Fotomarathon? I had a lot of fun, but now my body aches all over. I was cycling for about 14 hours. Not constantly, but when I wasn’t cycling I was laying or crouching or standing or leaning over to take photos. At about 10:30pm I got [...]

Swans in the sun

17th
Jun. × ’10

“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 [...]

Berlin Juggling Convention 2010

15th
Jun. × ’10

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 [...]

25 expressions

14th
Jun. × ’10

Someone posted this sheet to a discussion forum I frequent. It’s full of arty types, so this kind of challenge brings out all kinds of fun stuff. Here’s Adam’s submission: Here’s mine. I made the joke before anyone else: Rym wins, with this topical entry: I had to put earphones in an listen to something [...]

A trip to the zoo!

30th
May. × ’10

Last Tuesday I went to the zoo with my parents. The Tierpark in Berlin is huge, and even after visiting twice there are a few parts I’ve not seen yet. Here are some animal photos. A Gibbon (I think). Ring tailed lemurs. This photo is a collaboration between myself and my father. He stood behind [...]

Hanging my own photos on the wall – part 1: indecision

27th
May. × ’10

I want to hang some of my photos on the walls of my dining room. There’s space for four large prints, plus two or three smaller prints. My problem is that I take loads of photos, and picking six or seven to hang on the wall is really hard. A few months ago I decided [...]
