Last week we returned from New York. What an experience! I had the chance to try some amazing cameras but most importantly wander around this metropolis and craft some visuals. During the few days we spent in the Big Apple, I encountered different weather conditions, revealing the many moods of the city. We had sunny [...]
How are you, my photographic friends? The Photographic LETTERS, part of Simplicity-In-Seeing, introduced a few weeks ago got off to a great start. In fact, I got such positive feedback that I decided to expand the idea even further. One step that I have already taken was something you’ve all been asking me for a [...]
When we travel and photograph new places, we are often tempted to try and capture it all. After all, few of us have the time and resources to visit places like Paris or Sydney many times during our lifetime. This is understandable. Unfortunately, we often subscribe to this rush mentality when photographing closer at home. You [...]
I must admit that the last few months have been intense. As you have probably noticed, I’ve been working on many projects and there is no question that I didn’t publish enough on this blog.

One theme that often entered our conversations was the idea of “destination” or “balance” in photography. In other words, we tried to [...]
Photography and the craft of seeing matters to me. For this and many other reasons I have been publishing serious doses of photographic thought on this blog. Today I would like to talk about something very important and close to my mind – YOU! The last few months have been pretty intense. I admit, I [...]
Exactly twenty-nine years ago my parents crossed the border from East to West Berlin. I clearly remember entering West Berlin. It felt as if we had embarked on a new world adventure. The city was full of life and prosperity. Freedom was in the air. On the west side of the Berlin Wall were special [...]
I am writing this blog post from my hotel room in Berlin to share with you some photographic titbits from our trip to Europe.
