The postman always rings once

Wenn der Postmann einmal klingelt

Johann Sebastion Bach must have been a man of genius beyond imagination. This is a very nice visualisation of his ingeniousness:

An example for the sneaky loss of freedom

Hey folks,

sorry for not posting pictures the last weeks. Due to my job I'm too tired of working on the computer at home for being productive. Currently I'm really excited. I'm waiting for the delivery of some new toys. I ordered a Nikon D700 and a new lens Nikkor AF-S 14-24 mm f/2.8. The goods are on their way and I'm awaiting their delivery every day.

Hallo Leute,

tut mir leid, dass ich die letzten Wochen keine neuen Bilder gepostet habe. Wegen meines Berufs bin ich ziemlich bildschirmmüde um zu Hause noch produktiv zu sein. Gegenwärtig bin ich ziemlich unruhig. Ich erwarte die Lieferung einiger neuer Spielsachen. Ich habe eine Nikon D700 und ein Nikkor AF-S 14-24 mm f/2.8 bestellt. Die Teile sind unterwegs und ich erwarte sie täglich.

Hey all,

After posting some pictures of chains the last days I searched for a group of this subject. But there wasn't any group for chains, although there are many pitures of them. So I founded a new group Chains. No limits but pictures of chains. Have fun!

Hallo zusammen,

nachdem ich in den letzten Tagen selbst einige Bilder von Ketten hochgeladen habe, habe ich nach einer passenden Gruppe dafür gesucht. Da war aber keine Gruppe für Ketten, obwohl es viele Bilder davon gibt. Also habe ich eine neue Gruppe Ketten. gegrüdet. Keine Beschränkungen, außer dass es Bilder von Ketten sein sollten.Viel Spaß!

Ein neues Treffen ist angesetzt!

I missed my 10.000th visitor. But he/she wouldn't be this number without the 9.999 previous. So thank you all very much for your attention, views and comments!

Good night and good luck!

I'm off for the next 12 days. I'm in Berlin, visiting the 58th Berlin International Film Festival. I doubt that I'll be able to post some pictures the next days. I even didn't process all the shots I took one year ago (about 2.000). Shame on me!
But I hope to find some time late at least at night to check your new pictures and comments.

Für die nächsten 12 Tage bin ich weg. Ich bin in Berlin bei den 58. Internationalen Filmfestspielen. Ich bezweifel, dass ich dazu kommen werde Bilder in den nächsten Tagen zu posten. Ich bin noch nichtmal fertig mit der Nachbearbeitung der Bilder vom letzten Jahr (um die 2000 Stück). Schande über mich!
Aber ich hoffe, dass ich des Nachts wenigstens ein bisschen Zeit finde um Eure neuen Bilder und Kommentare anzugucken.

Berlinale Palace 2007

DEUTSCH (GERMAN)

Letzten Dienstag war ich mit Ralph am späten Nachmittag im Kieler Rathaus um dort in der Eingangshalle eine „Ausstellung ausgezeichneter Architektur“ vom Bund Deutscher Architekten anzusehen. Dort waren ca. 30 Plakate mehr oder weniger gelungener baukünstlerischer Leistungen zu sehen, die wir allerdings in wenigen Minuten überflogen hatten und dann vom Gebäude selbst gefesselt wurden.

Wir sind dann einfach vollkommen ungeplant und spontan durchs Haus gezogen. Es ist ja schließlich ein öffentliches Gebäude. Das gehört ja quasi uns :-)

Wir konnten uns total "unheimlich" auf allen öffentlich zugänglichen Fluren vollkommen frei bewegen, wurden gelegentlich von Spätarbeitern gegrüßt und sonst vollkommen toleriert. Wir sind ganz offen mit Kameras herumgelaufen und konnten auch auf die Zuschauertribüne des großen Ratssaals (Bilder folgen), die wegen irgendwelcher Arbeiten offen war.

Bis auf einen Gorilla-Pod hatten wir keine Stative mit. Ich hätte mich aber dann auch nicht getraut eines aufzubauen. In dem Fall würde ich doch lieber vorher fragen.

Die Tour durchs Rathaus hat dann auch locker anderthalb Stunden gedauert. Das war mit Abstand der lohnendste und reizvollste Photowalk seit langem! Gegen Ende sagte meine 4 GB Karte "Full"!

Nur einen Nachteil habe ich gefunden: Mein dringender Bedarf an einer rauschärmeren Kamera im hohen ISO-Bereich ist noch mal gewaltig gewachsen! Diverse Bilder sind doch verwackelt oder übelst verrauscht. Mal gucken was da noch zu retten ist.

ENGLISH

Last Tuesday I’ve been with Ralph on late afternoon at the Kiel town hall to see an “Exhibition of awarded architecture” of the German Architects Federation at the entrance hall. There ware about 30 poster of more or less successful architectural achievements which we galloped through in a few minutes but then we were riveted by the building itself.

We walked completely unexpected and spontaneously through the building. Eventually it’s a public building. We own it quasi :-)

We were able to move around completely unstealthy on every publicly available corridor, we have been greeted occasionally by some late workers and were completely tolerated. We walked there openly with our cameras and were able to visit the visitor tribune of the great council hall (pictures will follow) which has been open due to some technical work.

Except one Gorilla-Pod we didn’t have tripods with us. On the other hand I wouldn’t have had the heart to use it. In this case I would have ask previously.

The tour through the town hall easily took about one and a half hour. This was by far the most worthwile and attractive photowalk for a long time. At the end my 4 GB storage card told me “Full”!

I only found one drawback: My desperate need of a more noiseless camera at high ISO range grew massively! Miscellaneous pictures are wiggly or very noisy. Let’s see what to make the best of a bad job.

Hey folks,

I just want to apologise for boring you with hunderds of more or less dull pictures of my last holiday. But I want to back them up here and it's no private stuff so why don't show them to everyone?

If you like them: OK. If not: just as good :-) You needn't look at it.

Hi folks,

writing isn't my cup of tea, I'm better in pictures, but I want to let you know that I founded a new group called "Bottle Trash". Pictures of thrown away bottles of any kind wherever you find them on your way but where they don't belong.

I was thinking about a group like this for quite a while because I collected a lot of pictures for it. But I never had the time or leisure to carry them together. But now I made! So here it is: A group "dedicated" to thrown away bottles. When I took my first pictures on this subject I was really amazed how many bottles are lying around. When you start to get an eye for it you see them almost everywhere. Now I'm collecting bottle trash.

After founding the group I searched everyone's pictures at ipernity for 'bottle' and found a lot of really nice pictures perfectly suitable for the group.

So let me invite you all and ask you for walking around with open eyes looking for bottle trash. This is more easy than you think!

Hey folks,

still no new pictures from me. I told you why.

Today is the first day of my three week holiday and I thought I would be able to stoll though my archive to find and edit some nice pictures. But now I have the opportunity to have some holidays together with my girl and we will spontaneously make a journey to Föhr, a German North Sea island. I'm not sure how long we will stay. So I won't be around for a few days.

See you all later. And please don't post too much pictures in the meantime so I don't have to catch up too much

Just want to apologize for not posting new (or old) pics. Busyness and tirednss is a bad combination. I hope to catch up the next weekend.

Finally I feel comfortable enough so that I became a pro user today. Some things are really great, some things need getting used to. But overall this is a place I can make myself at home. And not unimportant is that many of my old contacs and friends moved here to.

Hi everybody,

in lack of processed and ready-to-upload pictures and in lack of time and currently not beeing keen on working on the computer I decided to upload some already elsewhere published pictures. But only my own favorites. I hope you like them anyway.

After some visits I'm not sure what I should think about this place. So many features. Perhaps too many? Photos, Audio, Video, other. Blog. Chat. Man, this is huge. Some things I miss at flickr. Many things I don't need. Perhaps too much for me. I'm just looking for a cool photo sharing site, where I can meet nice people with the same intention.

The photo thing seems to work very well apart from the missing groups feature. Not necessary but quite useful. But I've read they're working on it.

I'm really happy to meet here a lot of my old friends from flickr. That means a lot. I found an articel (in German) dealing with this situation. http://www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/25/25536/1.html

OK, let's see where all this this leads to.

Hi everyboy,

a blog? That's very intersting. Although I aways thougt I don't have to say anything important to the world this is an interesting feature. Let's see what comes. For now: good night!
