Easter weekend used to be a weekend were lots of peace rallies/demonstrations took place in Germay. The strong symbol of these demonstrations is the dove of peace. Times have changed and I hope this one is not a sign of things to come.

Went for a walk with my wife, she had her Polaroid with the new Impossible b/w 2.0 film with her. The sun was already low and some skaters were practicing their tricks.

some impressions from Davos, Switzerland

I am certainly not Charlie, because (the authors of) Charlie (Hebdo) were far more brave than I will ever be. And I live in Germany, with a government that happily sells tanks to Saudi Arabia, a country that has not only one of the worst human rights records in the world, but does not mind a ridiculous cleric decree that forbids citizens to build snowmen for religious reasons.

Two weeks ago, I went to see the Michael Kenna retrospective in Iserlohn. There are more than 100 pictures to be seen in this exhibition and I left really impressed. The way these black and white prints draw attention to the finest detail and their clear, seemingly simple composition are well worth a visit to Iserlohn.

2014 brought an unexpected camera change. I was quite happy with my 5D Mk II and had no intention of replacing it any time soon. But one night a got a call from Stefan, who is going mirrorless and sells his Canon gear.
