Berlin, 2012-07-16
Posted in Dear Diary, Reports
I woke up early. At least in my terms. It was shortly before 11 a.m. when I left the apartment without bag or camera into a windy and cloudy Kreuzberg: I was on a mission!

Berlin, 2012-07-15
Posted in Dear Diary, Reports
Sunday is flea-market day, another one of my Berlin traditions. In happy anticipation I emptied my backpack for every burden except my worn and torn companion, my H.P. Lovecraft book. Light as a feather I withdrew some money ready to spend it all on the market on stupid electronic junk.

Concerning Berlin — The Book
Posted in Photography
You have already read the blog post. You have already seen some photos. Since I spent quite some time waiting for test renderings to finish I picked up a project I had been working on quite a while now. A photo book.Update: There’s now a much more affordable eBook version available. -

Concerning Berlin
Posted in Dear Diary, Essays, Photography
Berlin was calling. I had to go. Like the years before. When you’ve been to Berlin once before (and ain’t not sick of it already), you just have to return. Every summer this city calls me by a feeling or just by plain Austrian fatigue. Then I book a flight, make no plans and off I go.This is a short photo-blog-post of my impressions.

The Light of Winter
Posted in Photography, Reports
Usually I don’t like the winter. It’s cold outside, I am cold, I can’t wear my favorite clothing (hawaii-shirts and flip-flops), I have to dig out the car whenever I want to drive it, then it’s cold in the car and the snow-clots on my trouser legs melt and run into my socks while driving and then I’m cold again.
Still, when I think I can’t take it anymore, it snows again. Heavy flakes tumble in the air before resting on the ground, little by little covering up all the unpleasant details and the dirt, muffle harsh sounds and immerse the open land in innocence and tranquility — right before my window. In these moments of joy and inner peace I linger at the window, sipping my coffee. And then it strikes me: “I gotta take some photos!” -

HD – what now?
Posted in Funny?, Video
Hehe, just something funny I stumbled across in the “cheapy-box” of a local bookstore. I just hope your pet isn’t affected by HD! But still click the link to know what’s behind this HD craze, and why it’s so serious to know about it… -

To flickr or not to flickr?
Posted in Dear Diary, Photography
This is just a little test to see how my sytlesheet is working for flickr blog-posts. I am not sure whether I want to say good-bye to the great NextGEN Gallery plug-in for WordPress I have been using all those years now. Should I really switch to flickr? What do you think?
And by the way: You just witness a major design-wise relaunch of the Promenade Blog, after the years I got a little bored with the standard visual appearance of this WordPress blog, so I stared in August 2007 a major redesign. But today I finally finished it in a couple of hours for the next couple of years. Although everything seems okay on first glance, there might happen some strange layouts on some pages — to be resolved soon.

Ich bin ein Berliner
Posted in Photography, Reports
Haven’t blogged in frickin’ ages! Currently I am in Berlin, photographing for Dropping Knowledge together with Lisa. A lot has happened. I will post an update, some photos and stuff as soon as I have the time to. Doesn’t sound promising, huh? Eventually I really do it.

Photoshop Tutorial – Equalizing Levels
Posted in Photography, Tutorial
Sometimes a scanned negative looks just like the one in the picture: Although there’s an area, like the snow, that should have a coherent tone, it’s sometimes darker and sometimes brighter – there’s even vignetting on the right side. In the darkroom this means to dodge and burn until you get away with it but this takes usually a lot of time. But in Photoshop everything’s a little easier.

Wicked Acros 100
Posted in Photography, Reports
During a chat with my old mentor Branko Lenart a month ago he suggested me trying the Fuji Neopan Acros 100 b/w-film, a “wicked film” in his terms. I nearly forgot about his words but remembered them two days ago when I was photographing in the canals of the Wienfluss in Vienna where I exposed my last Ilford Delta 100 rolls, my favorite film – yet.
