English: Lilly and I wanted to relax for a while. So we had a walk to a local Apple Store for playing and marvel. And, I need to check out the new Speedlite before a commercial work. Thats why I shot this sweety on her spellbound moments. This is the result and like the *rockin* style. You should know: Lilly is actually a typical gothic girlie, but I love her taste being a DJane!

German: Lilly und ich wollten irgendwie für eine kleine Weile ausspannen. Deswegen sind wir zum örtlichen Apple Händler getippelt um uns wie kleine Kinder die Nasen platt zu staunen. Ausserdem wollte ich den neuen Speedlite für eine Auftragsarbeit testen, deswegen musste die Süße in ihren gespanntesten Momenten her halten. Und ich mag das Ergebnis – typisch *rockin* (oh man, wie sagt man das denn auf deutsch?) Auch ist es ganz interessant zu wissen, dass Lilly ja eigentlich ein kleines Gotik Mädchen (klingt ja wieder doof) ist, aber als DJane ist sie ja wohl unschlagbar!

English: The most of my friends own boots (more than two pairs ). These are “cheater”: They lift you up, great for all seasons (weather), they rock with you the hole night on the floor and they are your best friends on the way to school or work … .

It’s a good advice leave your processed shoot for a while. Often (one day later) I discover some things I do not really like and fix them before posting. This recipe works great for me. But at the moment (yes, these are XOXO’s boots) I cannot decide which candidate I should show you. Of course, the differnce is only the color toning, last but not least I like all of them. What do you think? Which is your favorite?

English: Hugs and Kisses … it’s one of three captures that I’ll be posting. This shooting was not really planned but after I’ve meet “XOXO” weeks ago we saw us again on Facebook. Finally I would say – this is the first social contact I shot and it was a amazing experience. Back to this shoot, I hope you like it, this is my definite favorite. The next two, which I’ll post on Tuesday and Thursday, are also strong and powerful – I’m curious about your opinion.
Summer is back in my homeland – great feeling being outside, feel free, feel good.

German: Kuss und Gruss (?)! … Dies ist eine von drei Aufnahmen die ich zeigen werde. Nachdem ich “XOXO” vor einigen Wochen getroffen habe, ist sie mir später in Facebook erneut über den Weg gelaufen. Letztendlich würde ich sagen, es ist der erste soziale Kontakt den ich so fotografiert habe und es war eine verrückte Erfahrung. Aber zurück zum Bild: Dieses ist mein absoluter Favorit und ich hoffe ihr mögt es ebenso. Die nächsten beiden Bilder, welche ich am Dienstag und Donnerstag poste sind ebenso sehr schick und “mächtig”, ich bin gespannt auf Eure Meinung.
Der Sommer ist zurück, ein schönes Gefühl draussen und frei zu sein, sich einfach gut zu fühlen.

English: Some days ago I visited Leipzig. I had bad luck with my clients doing some commercial work – but I also meet Anne. She is a girl I know since my childhood – and it was a fantastic date. We had a lot of fun and suddenly, this strange day becomes a good one.

German: Vor einigen Tagen habe ich Leipzig besucht. Zwar hatte ich weniger Glück mit einem Kundenauftrag – aber später habe ich die Anne getroffen. Ich kenne sie schon seit meiner Kindheit – und es war ein wunderschönes Wiedersehen. Wir hatten eine Menge Spass und so wurde dieser komische Tag trotzdem noch richtig schick.
