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 [...]

By JK | Published 20/02/2010

It was a cold day, waiting on the photo boat for the race committee to start the race, then speeding around like devils at 50 miles/h following the boats after the start (now I know how fast is Hydroptere). 5 Miles in to the race we had to stop and after a short break off [...]

Getting Ready for the Cup

By JK | Published 30/01/2010

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. [...]
