First impressions with the new Nikon D3X
With support from Nikon Switzerland I have had a chance to test a brand new D3X from Nikon Singapore during Volvo Ocean Race Singapore stopover. I felt honored to have this opportunity especially when I have learnt from Max Sim (Nikon Singapore) that there where only 2 cameras available for tests and I got one [...]

Kuh melken so lange es noch geht!
In den letzten 3 Jahren verbrachte ich Weihnachten in Singapur. Jedes Jahr gleicht sich dem andern, es ist warm und regnet oft. Die Orchard road die haupt Geschäftsstrasse ist farbenprächtig dekoriert und so viele Leute dass man automatisch nach 2 -3 Stunden das weite sucht im botanischen Garten. Nur eines hat sich kontinuierlich verändert, alles [...]

A milestone in the world yacht racing industry The first time in the history of sailing many of the key stakeholders of our industry found the way to Monaco to jointly discuss the future our industry. It never appeared to me clear that we are all part of big family and that we are all [...]

Openoffice or MS Office
Since a I made the upgrade on the MS Office 2007 I was struggling a lot with this new version. Why we had to do this step? Lot’s of functions are different, mostly hidden somewhere and new functions im not using anyway. Bottom line, my PC is slower, spend some money for something I didn’t [...]
On the waterline
Last weekend I have been in Valencia for the Desafio Annual Regatta. For some a really important event such as Alinghi and Desafio, some others like BMWOracle guess not so interested in it. For me it was a great opportunity to try out a new camera system and this with nothing less as the Americas [...]

my first swiss sailing calendar
Click on the image to find out more of the calendar When I came back from the Olympic games I found that it was quite a hard and intensive job to take images at the games but even harder is to choose 13 of the 9000 for a calendar. I don’t know how many times [...]
Photoshooting out of the helicopter
Photo from Bruno Huber / Pilot Tiziano Ponti This has always been a bit a dream to me as it represents a milestone in my learning curve. Not that I have hundreds of hours of experience but in the last two weeks I was up there twice. There are many big guys who know better [...]

Xie Xie China
Xie Xie in mandarino significa grazie e si pronuncia “cie cie”, hanno dato tutto quello che potevano per trasformare queste Olimpiadi in una bella festa. Non per parlarne della cerimonia di chiusura che no ho vissuto in prima persona. Sono sul viaggio di ritorno e mi sono fermato 2 giorni a Shanghai per vedere un [...]

Ben Ainslie di qua Ben Ainslie di la….
Questo nome tra un pò no lo posso piu sentire, tutti ne parlano e tutto gira attorno questo personaggio, sembra che sia il nuovo Paul Elvström. Per il momento però è Torben e Paul che hanno 5 medaglie e non Ben. Oggi era in programma la medalrace degli Yngling e prima quella dei Finn, visto [...]
A bit of Chinese life
Since I’m here I kind of missing a bit the real Aisa, for sure Qingdao is quite different that the places I visited recently such as Laos and Burma but even in Singapore I got the real Asia feeling, but not here. So yesterday I got up at 5.30 and went in the old town [...]

Una giornata importante si annuncia qui a Qingdao
Sono le 5.30 di mattina. Il sole doverebbe apparire fra non molto, ma con tutto questo grigio dubito che si veda. Ogni tanto mi domando con tutti i bei posti al mondo siamo finiti qua a fare le Olimpiadi dove non si capisce se il grigio é smog oppure semplice nebbia. Va beh, il nostro [...]

Sorprese cinesi: l’arrivo
Certo che il viaggio per Qingdao è iniziato con un po’ di pregiudizi. Forse anche per quel che ho letto e sentito in questi giorni sui media sulla situazione in Cina e sull’effetto che le Olimpiadi potrebbero avere sul governo. Al mio arrivo all’aeroporto di Sanghai, tra l’altro in Business upgrade da mi fermano subito [...]
New banner
During the games some of the world most popular sailing webpages/blogs will feature my images, for that we developped a new banner. The picture from the Swiss RSX surfer Richard Stauffacher has been taken this spring in Palma at the Princess Sofia where he won the medal race.
Palma is over next step is China
The days here in Palma where special, Coppa el Rey is a amazing event with a high level competitors. Every time I’m sailing in this event I’m learning a lot this year was about Farr 40 sailing specially the mainsail trim on this boat. On our race course we also had the two VOR 70 [...]

Count down for the games
Since a week I’m here in Palma sailing the coppa del rey on a Farr 40 . That all good but I’m the mainsail trimmer on this boat and this mainsail is so huge and hard to trim that my arms really start to hurt. The entire year I went almost once per week to [...]
The brain defines the limit
Can you imagine to do 51 km in the alps with a altitude difference of 4000m in temperatures ranging from 5 to – 20 degrees? Maybe yes if you are well trained but the guys I could follow with my camera they do it in less than 6 ½ hours! No I’m not joking this [...]

how much can you improve teamwork
Teambuilding for match race teams Maybe you wonder why I’m writing about teambuilding for match racing teams. Probably the correct title would be: how much more can you improve teamwork. Since we all saw the Alinghi team working as one perfect team during the America’s Cup, at least in the 2003 Cup, everybody knows that [...]

Photoshooting with Pucci
Pucci I is a dream a class of its own, a mix between teak, class, engine and power. As usual it was early in the morning and on top of it end of February so a bit cold when we left the harbor for the shooting of the so called “gentlemen racer”. The magazine Swiss [...]
