Dear Friends
The 2012 is full on, and so the production of spectacular images. This days we released 2 sailing videos, following the successful start of last years videos production.
I never thought that filming can be so interesting and specially such a excellent way to share the passion for sailing and outdoor sports. This year beside sailing we are planning the production of a spectacular short mountaineering video which will be produced in the Alps in high altitude and thin air.
The elements is water as on the sea and the lakes, just in a different state; ice and snow. Probably the most precious resource on earth helping us survive and enjoy our outdoor sports sea & mountain.
This year most of the activities are focused on the 2012 Olympic Games. The Pure Passion Tour is planned for the fall after the Olympic Games, the plan is to bring home images and the emotions and share them with you.

Please enjoy the 2 videos released in January.

Yesterday I went to Nice to visit the Extreme Sailing Series, no assignment no stress so the right moment to try out new things with the camera. Since a few weeks I’m editing some of my images on the Ipad,  and upload them directly on the web like this image, the editing software is quite powerful and give you lot’s of freedom . A boring moment out on the rib with a few photographers and a little action, this is a good moment it’s challenging to produce an action shot. Why not focusing on the core element in the image and leaving the rest blur? Painters use this technique to give  a certain 3D effect. is this a “certo che”?

Patrouille des Glacier, Tete Blanche auf knapp 4000m in weniger als 6 Monate ist es wieder so weit. Ab nach Zermatt und dann in die Walliser Alpen für eine Woche. Die Bilder vom 2010 waren aussergewöhnlich, klarer Himmel, ein wenig Licht vom Mond und den Sternen, wie wird es im 2012 werden? Zwei Jahre zuvor stürmte es so stark dass die PDG fast abgesagt wurde und so kam es auch ganz extreme Bilder.
Nun sind wir wieder am planen fürs 2012, wird es neben der Tete Blanche auch noch andere Bilder geben, Col du Riedmatten wäre was oder der Sonnenaufgang entlang der Grand Dixences.
Zuerst wird noch ein wenig trainiert und geplant. In der Zwischenzeit habe ich ein kurzes Clip zusammengestellt über die Tete Blanche. Die Musik ist von Andreas Vollenweider, finde sie passt so gut, dass es schade wäre irgend so ein Royalty Free Song einzubauen, vielen Dank Herr Vollenweider, hoffentlich nehmen sie mir das nicht übel.

Sometimes there are days you get up and you think it will be another boring day in the office doing the paperwork as usual if I’m not out sailing and taking pictures.

Today seemed to be such a day until I got the phone call from Swiss Olympic asking me if I still can go to China taking pictures at the games. I couldn’t believe my ears, what kind of a question…sure I want to go it’s something I’m dreaming and hoping since long time.

Now it’s time for a short break to enjoy this moment and then I guess we have to start to fill in a few forms…details about all this later.

Take care and enjoy the day
