Impressions - Stormgrass

And so that was...

…Easter! Click here for a whole bunch of pictures, including but not limited to my silhouette against a blazing bonfire. Which reminds me, here’s a little clip of said bonfire, accompanied by a heart-wrenching rendition of The Blues (by my little brother). Hence

Barcamp Notes

So yesterday was Barcamp. I had to leave early, so no t-shirt for me this time, but that’s ok, I do have two already. The sessions I saw were

Views from the window 07

And finally, the first snow of the season. It was washed away shortly after I had taken the shot. Oh well, there’ll be more.

Portugal. the man

We went and saw Portugal. the man yesterday. Curiously, the venue was just about half full, which is really quite surprising considering that they are not only good but also one of the most pre-hyped bands around (pre-hyped meaning not quite yet hyped, but

It's my birthday...

Schmapper

I’m now officially not only co-author of a book, I’m also a published photographer. Well, published in a computer-only city-guide, but beggars really can’t be choosers. Check out the picture Schmap Travel Guides used for their article on the FLAK-towers in

And so that was Sweden

Back in Austria, back at work, but here are the graphic reminders of what a great time we had in Sweden. Enjoy by clicking on the picture below: I’ll be updating on here with a few stories from moose and salmon country, so

And after the rain

Not only did yesterday’s storm force Barbra Streisand to cancel her concert, it also lifted a bunch of tiles from our roof. So that is the reason why I’ll post not a “View from” but a “View inside the window” today. Because

After the storm

And that’s what it looked like when the storm had passed.

Moving Views from the Window

While usually I only post the static image, generally known as “the picture”, today I’ll try something different. And this is why: Today, as I entered the abode after a healthy afternoon snack and was about to open the windows to let the

Flickr still breaks my heart

Even though the cencorship issue surrounding Flickr hasn’t been resolved yet, I still couldn’t wait to upload a few pictures. The one above is from breakfast at the

Flickr's in hot water again

Yesterday Flickr released localization for their service in German, Spanish, French and a few other languages. Which would be a good thing, if they wouldn’t in return censor search results for certain users of these localizations. Images that are flagged by Flickr as

And so that was Barcamp...

… and it was fun! Our presentation of Medienschelte.at went down quite well with the crowd, and the ensuing discussion was actually quite a bit more vibrant than I had

The White Stripes...

…in red and tiny. I don’t know whether it’s a trademark already, but I do find the way Meg White moves her head from one side to the other while playing the drums kind of cute.

Snail Race

Today I witnessed a snail race. It was thrilling.

Sweet stuff

God, they just know I can’t resist that stuff when they put it in a rack next to the cashier. I mean, who can? Novelty sweets, that’s basically

Gallery is back

And here’s an announcement: The gallery is back! By popular demand, and because I ditched one broken plugin for a working one, the gallery will now be open again for your perusal. You could of course just look at my photos directly on

Almost summer

That’s the advantage of having to walk from one godforsaken village to the other, you’ve got plenty of photo ops. Too bad all I had was my cameraphone.

That’s one immediate effect of good tipping behaviour: you get stuff for free. Actually, it was the first time today that I paid more for my Doner Kebap than

Getting in the mood

I remember back when I started my first website, the first attraction was an image aptly titled easter horror. It’s still here, actually. So today I present yet another Easter-centric photo strip. No candy this time, just all the stuff you need to

At the laundromat

We went to the laundromat yesterday, because sometimes you need a bigger washing machine than the ones they usually sell. My original plan of having ice cream and sitting on the boardwalk in front of the laundromat while waiting for our laundry to finish
