Mein Porträt vom Blutmond – normalerweise habe ich ja nur Menschen vor der Kamera, aber bei diesem Mondgesicht konnte ich nicht widerstehen 🙂

My portrait of the Blood Moon. It was totally worth it to get up that early. Mostly I capture portraits of people but with that moonface I could not resist.

Friends – Brendan and Jeff Crockett

Today English only
 
Before I started work on local projects as a photographer, I traveled around the world to take photographs of pool tournaments.
 
With this traveling, I met lots of people and some of them became good friends.
 
Two of them passed away yesterday – I can’t find the right words to tell you how sorry I am about this sad news.
I met Brendan first in 2009 when he was a kid and from then on I stayed in contact with him and his family. 2014 I went to Yosemite with Jeff, Brendan and Bill. What a great time we had.
 
Nobody really dies as long as someone remembers them.
Thanks to Bill for the great words.
 
I was and will always think about two great guys and friends.

Thanks to Qpod for making this competition possible. I had the opportunity to have all their products in my hand during the product photo shoot (a more detailed posting about that will follow soon). The workmanship and quality is top notch. Go to http://www.qpod-billiards.com/ and get yourself a beautiful Xmas present.

 

Enjoy you Qpod Marcus!

 

This article was written completely on my iPad and the image was shot tethered with an eye-fi card to the tablet. Retouching was done with Snapspeed and Watermark P. I’m a little surprised about myself, but honestly I have to say, that for lots of stuff my laptop will remain in the bag from now. Interested a similar read?

First photos from our USA vacation – Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon

After arriving in Las Vegas at night we drove directly to Boulder City to get some rest. Our first morning was beautiful….we had a great American style breakfast and drove afterwards to Hoover Dam (sorry guys, no Transformers there 🙂 ).

 

Next day was Grand Canyon day. I was very excited….not only because of the Grand Canyon, but also because I met my good friend Bryan Mordt there.
I was at the Hoover Dam before, but I have never been at the Grand Canyon. You dont see anything about this big hole until you arrive there.
So we were driving on this road to the Grand Canyon and from one moment to the next one it was on the left side of the road. I was paralyzed when I first saw it….But let the photos speak…

 

Bryan brought his friend Tami with him. A passion photographer like we are.
We had such a great time with you guys there and hopefully we see you again soon.

Dayton Beach sunrise and surfing pics

Finall I found time to publish some pictures.
I went with Marketa and Jennifer to the beach surfing….after my first water swallowing session I went back to my camera 😉

 

There are some days you better should stay in bed…..I went to the beach to get some sunrise pictures early in the morning……
Because it was still dark some sand fleas or other bugs were biting me all over my body (was itchy for more then 8 days) and then it started to rain really hard…..I had to dry my camera stuff for three days until everything worked as usual again.
Anyway got some nice pictures in the rain…a lot of beautiful clouds and some early beach people.
Maybe I was the only guy on the beach who still smiled during the rain 😉

New York

After some starting problems with our tickets we arrived finally in New York….but no luggage.
Luggage arrived three days later without our cues….they are still missing. ¨We staied in the Super 8 Motel in New Jersey. There was a shuttle bus 24-7 every 10 minutes for little money to Manhatten.
Overall it was very stressful to be in New York…..but I enjoyed it a lot to see finally Gina and Steve Lipsky and Jonathan L. Smith. I also met Stew again and played some games with Jennifer Baretta in Amsterdam Billiards
Not to forget to see Zion Zvi again (thanks for everything buddy). Maybe you guys didn’t see it, but I realy enjoyed my time hanging out with you a lot. As you can imagine I had to shoot some pictures too of this beautiful city.
That means another my view gallery….my view of New York:
