Photopia is germany's newest and most important imaging fair since the Photokina era ended in 2018. As a Photographer from Hamburg, the location of the Photopia fair is especially convenient for me but despite of that I have never visited the fair until this year, 2023. Somehow my work shedule didn't align with the past events and over time, more and more people would tell me to be a part of it. The German Street Photography Festival has also been held inside the Photopia so I missed that too...

The camera store "Meister Camera" which is a Leica Store that is sharing its space with "Photohaus Hamburg" has started exhibiting prints of photographers to showcase selected works from all kinds of photography genres. I have the privilege to be the first featured photographer to start off this new venture and Meister Camera printed twelve street photographs of mine that I selected to be showcasing my "best-ofs" of my Street Photography work.

In July my Family and I went on a week long Vacation in Portugal where we stayed at a friends house. It was our first time in Portugal and I had no intentions to work on any creative project because I wanted to take a break and be with my Family. BUT... I have bought a new camera a week before the trip and it is replacing my Fujifilm X-S10 that I've been using for many years to film my YouTube videos. The Fujifilm X-S20 is the first new camera that I bought since 2017, when I started my YouTube...

I've been a guest on the Street Life Podcast (what a great name! ;-))! It is a new Podcast dedicated to Street Photography and run by two talented australian street photographers, John St and Mark Davidson. Although the Podcast started farely recently they already had the opportunity to feature guests like Gustavo Minas, Jesse Marlow, Craig Whitehead, Matt Stuart, Knox Bertie... and the list goes on. So it was a great honor to be featured on the podcast and talk about my own Street Photography...

I don't really enter photo contests anymore. In fact I pomised myself in 2020 to never enter one again. I had good success entering contests in the past and didn't need any more validation (and let's be honest validation is the driving factor or motivation for most photographers. Me included sometimes...). And most contests are money making schemes with questionable ties to organizations that somehow always find their way into your inbox. But some contests, especially those who are part of a...

The GR PHOTO FESTIVAL is an annual international contest held by RICOH IMAGING Japan where photographs taken with GR cameras are selected by GR Ambassadors worldwide. As I was one of the Judges of this contest I had the pleasure of seeing what kind of photography the international community is taking. The Theme of the Contest in 2022 was "Daily Life". The concept of the Ricoh GR Cameras is that it is the ultimate Snapshot camera. Photographers often get the GR confused as a Street Photography...

So I just discovered that I still have this Blog on my Website that I never continued. Instead of the Blog I have been using a Page that I named "Highlight" where I would share new Images or Inspirations on a weekly basis. But the problem (or benefit, depending how you see it) with that is that it was fleeting. You miss a post and it would be gone forever. Similar to an IG Story it would have a limited lifespan. I kind of like that. One thing that my Website is missing though is a page for...
