day 162: Claudius This little guy’s name is Claudius. Don’t be deceived by his cute smile! He used to be a Roman warlord who was so cruel that some goddess turned him into a cute little toy bear ...
the end of a chicken This picture is actually not really a self-portrait. It was taken by my mum with my camera in automatic mode! Well done, mum! Since I’m ridiculously complicated with food thanks to my food allergies there ...
day 159: well, who are you then? I took this picture when I was just passing through my hometown these days and walked through the rather abandoned area again where I took one of my favourite pictures last year. Almost none of ...
day 158: Bahnhof Zoo I’ve been on the move again and took the train to my hometown a couple of days ago. Although I generally don’t really like traveling and I actually hate flying, I’m fine with most trains. ...
day 157: The God of Small Things The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy is one of those books that sneaks up on you. First I wasn’t sure what to think, then I put it away and read something else, because ...
day 156: time Time is a curious thing. Sometimes it flies and sometimes it seems to stand still, depending on what you’re willing it to do. That doesn’t mean that we can control how we perceive time, no, ...
day 155: understated This fabulous shop window I saw a few days ago on the way to buy an envelope and a big paperclip. I only needed one envelope and one paperclip, but now I have 9 envelopes ...
day 154: circles For years I have been thinking about what I want to do with my life, about what makes me happy and what makes me suffer and I’ve been following a path that wasn’t always easy, ...
day 153: Weitergehen verboten “Weitergehen verboten” is the German equivalent of a no trespassing sign. This picture was taken at the subway station Gesundbrunnen, which is not far from here. I was also there a couple of days ago ...
day 152: flow These last few days I have been mostly experimenting with abstracts, since I just didn’t have the time to get out much. It was one of these times when I wished that I wouldn’t do ...
day 151: black and white dinner Yesterday I handed in my PhD application and things are turning back to normal now on here. I will try to post every day again and you can expect a bit more than just a ...

day 149: dark figures | Canon EOS 450D | 50.0 mm | f/1.4 | 1/30 sec | I walked along a couple of streets yesterday that I didn’t know. It didn’t get me off course on the way to ...
day 148: Berlin at night There is something to be said about taking pictures during a flight when you’re not so comfortable with flying. I sometimes get scared, I sometimes get motion sickness and taking pictures during takeoff and landing ...
day 147: tree monsters Sometimes choosing a picture for the day is rather easy. Maybe I was trying around a lot until I got a specific picture right or maybe the composition was off for most of the pictures ...
day 146: street scene I have had my Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 for a little while now and still I’m sometimes struggling to get the pictures how I want them. Maybe it has to do with my 450D, which ...
day 145: analogue cypher I like that this picture is almost black and white, but not quite. Strange what you can find when you wander around a city for a bit. Today I saw a short documentary about Martin ...
day 144: the sea the sea Although I shoot in colour mostly, I often end up with a black and white picture after editing. When I started this blog I was mostly posting pictures in colour, but still someone commented that ...
day 143: don’t be afraid Today I saw a documentary on William Eggleston and I was surprised. I knew some of his pictures, but never knew his name. What was surprising to me was that his pictures have, what I ...
