Just for fun, lets see which 50mm manual lens you want for christmas ;)

A day in the park with my daugter digging in the sandbox. We hade fun with some friends and had a good break from everyday troubles. I like the attitude in this photo! I think this was made with Asahi Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 55mm/1.8 M42-lens. I had it on the camera all afternoon. It’s has a good feeling with fast focus and quality.

The other day we had a small fair with the businessnetwork at a place which used to be a bathhouse. Now they have a lot of funny small things, like this hidden-away sculpture in a window. I think this almost naked lady with her torn bikini deserve some attention ;)

If you have the musicservice Spotify you can listen to Paul Simons Kodachrome :) Playing in my headphones as I write this. If you don’t have Spotify, get it if you can – it’s great.

Just a little note, I sold a picture today for a tv-commercial. 400€. Shot with aus Jena Sonnar 135mm Zebra, an eastgerman lens from the 60′s for which I payed £10 :) You don’t need the newest technology to work with pictures.

This image made with Tele-Tokina was from my play with the christmas (toycars and road of wood) gift I got for my daughter ;) Grownups can play too, right?

I found some funny commercials on Youtube the other day! The first Praktica-commercial is priceless, when the german, harsh voice tries to sound sexy when showing nude photography :D
