from a day in august.

Oh Wintertime. Outside it’s cold (-7°C] and snow is falling. It’s the perfect weather sitting in the warm living room & having a look over older photos i’ve taken.

Back in August this year i’ve driven with my scooter to the youngest district of freiburg because i wanted to do some photos outside and inside a church which is by architectural terms a very interesting building. I don’t know the architect of this church. The “Maria Magdalena Church” in Freiburg Rieselfeld reminds of Tadao Ando. It’s, like a lot of his buildings also made of concrete. But it’s the language of shappes what makes this church a special one. I’ve also taken some photos around the district. Enjoy.

help the aged.

Here is  one from the freiburg minster. The last week i was often inside our old church, not because of god, but to feel the special mood inside. The smell, the always beautiful light & the silence. So this day an old woman with her walking stick passes by this “R.I.P. plate”. It looks like she has only one leg, but it’s the slow shutter speed that does the trick. Afterwards this photo gets me reflective of life itself. I think the lyrics by Jarvis Cocker of the pop group PULP say much about it for everyone. HELP THE AGED.

Help the aged, don’t just put them in a home, can’t have much fun when they’re all on their own. Give a hand, if you can, try and help them to unwind. Give them hope and give them comfort

the adoration.

Twelve days ago i was testing the Sony Alpha 350 and feel very comfortable with this DSLR. The flexible display of the 350 is predestined for inconspicuous street photography. This is really cool, normally you got much more attraction with an SLR, especially in churches.
