I'm starting a serie of street portraits of couples between 60 and 70. Here some first attempts.

pb magazine #4 now online - Montauk in spring

pb magazine #4 is now online on youblisher. It shows a series of photographs taken in May 2013 on the eastern tip of Long Island called Montauk. It’s one of the preferred ocean front playgrounds of New Yorkers.
It gave name to a novel of famous Swiss author Max Frisch. His autobiographic story plays here some 40 years ago, in May 1974.

Sign on the wall

Coming back from lunch on this sonny winter day I was surprised by this sign on the wall of my office.  It looked like hand written. The reflection came from an uneven shiny surface on the opposite wall.  

Climbing up means light

As cold as ice

A whole range of new opportunities is waiting in 2014 ...

New pb magazine, issue #3 "from no man's land to my land"

The photographs of the new issue of the pb magazine were taken along the railroad tracks leading out of New York City. They show the backsides, the uncared-for sights. They document the transition from public to private - from no man‘s land to „my land“. To open click the cover:

You Remember my post from Mai?

And that's how it apparantly looks now.















The famous British graffiti artist Banksy did a one month residency in NYC.
On October 9 it looks like he found the same spot in Lower East Side to leave one of his works.
It's part of an ongoing open-air exhibition on the streets of New York, called "Better Out Than In". 
(see his blog on http://www.banksyny.com/, go to October 9)
