I missed it in 2012, and not for a bad reason. The Beach of Coney Island is really nice – the sea, the waves and sand, like home. And in my back the Luna Park – I can hear it, so this is everything together for a rest off the daily life? I got rid of my shoes and socks and stepped into the atlantic sea, and I listened. Yes, I grew up at the north sea,...

Like we see it in Hamburg/Germany, as soon as the artists have raised the value of an area, the rents go high, and the artists move to another area – it is the same here in New York. You can be sad about it, but maybe you shouldn’t … Today, I went to the Block Party in Bushwick, and I am still impressed by the creativity, not only of the art, they...

The fix point of my day was, again, Romeo and Juliet in the Central Park. I started my way at the north side of the Park, where the gentrification is just starting. It’s where Harlem begins, it is living at the Central Park, with no luxury. However, it was nice to take a walk there and I admire the great weather after the rain of the past days. After the...

Today, I went to the Central Park to photograph the barefoot shakespeare company, their premier play of Romeo and Juliet – at the Summit Rock, right beside the 82nd Street. On my way, I discovered the streets of the west side – and right at the broadway, somebody was selling used books, and I thought, that this is it, what I like the most about New York,...

So, today I got up there, to the highest spot of NYC, the One World Observatory, on the 102nd floor – after the airport like screening, of corse. 60 sec. the elevator took … what a ride – the whole elevator is a screen, on which you see the City growing, from nature to today. On Time-Lapse Rocket Ride to Trade Center’s Top, Glimpse of...

The rain from yesterday decided to stay, so I decided to take a day off. After working on a few Photos from the Steinway & Sons shoot, I took my umbrella and went on a walk through Astoria, and I only took a few pictures with my iPhone. Now, at the end of this day, I feel a little off track – did I just waste these hours? Maybe, it’s this, what the...

This was one of these days, I will never forget. At 9:30 AM, Logan Thomson welcome me at the workshop of dreams, the dreams of every Piano player of this world. And then, I was able to dig into a one of a kind world, where wonderful people are building something so special, that everyone is grateful in every cell … like me at the end of this, when I was...

In the old days, no New Yorker would live at the waterside. There, it was loud and smelly – everybody wanted to live inside Manhattan, where the business and the live was, like still today. Than the container was invented, and the waterside trading moved to New Jersey, and now more and more people would like to see the water, from where they live. But this is...

The reason, why I prefer to live at a private place is, that I want to make me feel, like I am actually living at the chosen place. I live a daily life, I buy food and prepare it at home, I have long conversations with my roommate Michela – and today I went with her and her best friend Cassandra to IKEA in Brooklyn, to by new legs for her Dining Table. Well, I...

It doesn’t sound by accident like Stonehenge. Two times a year, the sunset aligns with the grid of Manhattan, so you can see her all the was through the cross streets. In this year, it is the 30th of may and the 12th of July. Today, we should have seen the half of the sun between the buildings of every cross street, like the 19th, where I was waiting, well,...
