Un certo che

By JK | Published 18/09/2011

Lyofood

By JK | Published 14/10/2010

Since 4 years I’m traveling around mostly in Europe from one shooting to the next one. It’s a great way to meet many places and spend time with cool people,  but there is something who I really don’t like in my job. Way too many sandwiches, sometimes you come on board of a boat and [...]

Es brauchte einen regnerischen Sonntag um diese alten Files herauszugraben und endlich das Panoram Bild zusammen zu stellen. Wie hat sich Burma verändert? Mehr Touristen die auf den Tempels hermklettern und das [...]

Golf

By JK | Published 18/07/2010

Es ist nun schon das dritte mal, dass ich mit den Kameras und Objektiven auf einem Golfplatz unterwegs war. Sehr oft bei Gesprächen übers Golf kam das Argument wie gut man  auf dem Golfplatz abschalten kann. Gestern durfte ich die Reinhard Trophy im Golf Club Thunersee fotografieren und es funktionierte wirklich, hatte das Gefühl für [...]

5.5 Zeitlos wie die Klassischen Yachten

By JK | Published 27/06/2010

Es ist nun schon das zweite Jahr dass ich die 5.5 Schweizer Meisterschaft fotografiere. Die Boote sind einfach unglaublich schön. Zeitlose wie die Klassischen Yachten. Wäre super wenn es mit der WM in Torbole klappen würde da sind die Windbedingungen etwas anders und das wird man sicher auf den Bilder sehen. Grüsse Jürg
