On this site, I write about places, I’ve been to, on this planet and I show photos of these place, of course … I am a photographer. That was always the plan, visiting a lot of different places on this beautiful earth, with you. And then, 2012 came and I went to New York. I instantly fell in love with this city, and because this love grew, when I was...
Read MoreApparently, there is a misunderstanding, that we have to save the planet. Well, it doesn’t need our help. The earth went through several climate changes throughout thousands of years. Species vanished, new ones evolved and then, one day, we became. And, yes, it is all about us. Our lives depend on the earth staying as it is. Simple, right? If can’t...
Read MoreIs it just me? Is New York all over every place? Well, not really, of course, that would be awesome, or maybe it wouldn’t be at all – I mean, how special could it be than, right? So, take a look at my weltgesehen-statistics – is that New York, or what? And where are the twin towers? Yes, they are the two months, I was there, in New York. Can you...

Read MoreThree weeks back now, back in Germany – and, yes still homesick to New York … well, I can stand it now, and so I dig into the Photos and Films and I found another Point of View. Here it is:

I found a last peace of Hershey’s Chocolate and a Budweiser in the fridge. One thing came to my mind today, as I got the things ready for the suitcase.
