Hamburg from a different point of view!

There are different ways to get to know Hamburg.
On foot, via sightseeing or by boat.

I took this photo during a canoe ride, which made me realise
how beautiful things can be, that otherwise look rather inconspicuous.

Summertime...

... my favourite season as a photographer.
It's getting warmer, people show up in less clothes, kids are able to play outside in the sun and the whole world seems to relax.

It's simply the best time for me and my ambition in photography, because through playing with natural sunlight my pictures get their own personal touch. Spacious outdoor - locations also give me the opportunity - especially while working with kids - to photograph them without really being noticed and give me the chance to show them how they really are.

My trip to the Wildlife Park Eekholt

The Wildlife Park Eekholt is about 50 km north from Hamburg (federal state: Schleswig Holstein) and opens every morning at 9 o'clock. The diversity of species and the beautiful grounds can hardly left any wishes and offers extensive information about our native species, which are available via information boards, flight demonstrations, feedings and guided walks.

More information about the park, the animals, the playground and barbecue facilities, as well as the journey by car and the HVV (public transport) can be found at:

Mensch Macht Politik

The entrepreneur Marco Scheffler from Hamburg / Eimsbüttel has enough of the bleating about our politics and acts ...

With the idea of applying to the ZDF political talent show "Ich kann Kanzler" (I can be chancellor) the foundation was laid. The Making-Of Video of the „Ich kann Kanzler" - application can be found here (at YouTube) Just in time of today's application deadline all is finished and the timing seems just perfect to start with the actual campaign "Mensch Macht Politik".

- have a look at -
www.unser-neuer-bundeskanzler.de
(our-new-chancellor)

As the name of the domain suggests, the application to this TV-Show is not the end, much more will follow...

News and more information can also be found at Zettmanns Weblog (German) or at the blog of "Mensch Macht Politik" (German)!

Don't forget Aids!

- banner by freshlabs -

On the occasion of the current German campaign

"Ich habe Aids nicht vergessen... und Du?"
(I haven't forgotten Aids... what about you?)

I decided to write an entry in my blog.

Cause every little note about this topic, might bring AIDS back into the people minds. Even if the disease is now treatable and apparently has lost its terror, it is still NOT curable!!! And the number of people infected rising every day!

Especially young people think more about "prevention of pregnancy" than about "protection against diseases", which in my mind is an alarming development.

While six German citizens died of the consequences of terror in 2008, which is an everyday issue in media, there were 650 people who have died of AIDS!

Think about it and get informed!
