LNDNWLK 2.0
My blog has been quiet for a while, much longer than I had anticipated. Rebecca and I are just back from a six week trip through Europe and Scandinavia, from the end of August until the beginning of October. We started in Ireland and then went to Germany, Norway, the UK and Greece. I am […]
Andalusia (Hearth Magazine)
Andalusia is located in the south of Spain, east of the Atlantic Ocean and north of the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar. Being at the very southern tip of Europe and only an hour away from Africa, Andalusia has a very interesting mix of European, African and Arabian influences. You see traditional Spanish […]
Metering for Film
The most common questions I receive in regards to shooting film are usually about metering and exposure. I have covered a lot of other topics in the blog posts Film is Not Dead and The Secrets of Richard Photo Lab, but I wanted to share a dedicated write-up about metering as this subject often seems […]
A Perfect Sunday
Sunday is my favorite day of the week. I love the mood of slow days at home, ideally started with a delicious breakfast and a good conversation with my wife. Maybe followed by listening to music, reading a book or taking pictures together. Something I also wouldn’t want to miss on a Sunday is a […]

Val d’Orcia on Hasselblad
My wife Rebecca and I were lucky to spend three weeks in Tuscany after we had stopped at Lake Como for a few days. We stayed in Poppi (where we got married) for a while and then moved on to the beautiful Val d’Orcia valley. It’s incredible to think about how much I learned about […]
