Asche und Helikopter

Nun ist es wieder soweit, morgen reise ich ab nach Zermatt an die Patrouille des Glacier. Eine Übernachtung im Tal und dann rauf auf die Tete Blanche um dort gute Bilder zu machen bei Nacht. Und genau das ist die Frage, wie kommen wir rauf auf die Tete Blanche? Mit der Asche in der Luft [...]

Christo Redentor

One morning the customer I was shooting for in Rio told me, you have to go up there and shoot the “Christo Redentor”. After the racing days we had only cloudy days and only 2 of them left before flying home. In a good moment with the clouds disappearing I grabbed a taxi and off [...]

Getting Ready for the Cup

Since a while Daniel Forster and me we started to work together on projects, this give us the chance to cover more complex shootings easier such as for example the 33rd Americas cup. The distances are so big it’s impossible to shoot at the start and then being on time also at the weather mark. [...]

Always look twice

Yesterday on flight back from the Audi Medup in Cagliari I found this picture. It’s a sunset on the Hirzel one of my favorite shooting place. Right after the shooting the picture didn’t made it in to the selection of the day, would have almost deleted it, sometimes you really need to look twice before [...]

While you where sleeping

It doesn’t need to be the Caribbean or some other well known place. Close to Zurich we have a place called Hirzel, it’s a landscape with many small hills and on each hill you will find a tree. It’s a tradition that the farmer who owns the small hill plants a tree on top of [...]

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.

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 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 [...]

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 [...]
