60-second slices of present // Rome 2013
As mentioned at the beginning of the year, I intended to take the “60-second slices of present”-project further and beyond the city of Berlin where it all had started some three years ago. I am surprised, how the project has been developing since. The fact I always limit myself to the exact same capturing method … Read more
60-second slices of present // Urbi et Orbi // Rome 2013
As mentioned in my previous post I spend Easter time in Rome this year. I had a very particular image in mind I wanted to take – the masses of people gathering on Saint Peter’s Square for Pope Francis’s Urbi et Orbi Message. So this is my selection of shots I took in and around … Read more
It always starts with an image in my mind …
At some time early in March this year I felt the urge to get out and capture some collective human motion again. With my longtime exposure project 60-second slices of present in mind and the intention to extend it beyond Berlin I asked myself where to go this time. Inspired by the news reports on … Read more

In my last post on the selection of 60-second shots from Berlin I mentioned that I plan to extend this work with photos from other cities around the world, too. So here’s a start at that: last year in October I spend … Read more
60-second slices of present // Berlin 2012
Now that 2013 has just started, I’d like to present a selection of last year’s “60-second slices of present”. This sparse, yet compact selection of works is part of the eponymous ongoing series that I started almost three years ago. It has become a pleasure to reflect on the project’s development since. What, out of … Read more
Buchrezension: Wald
Der Tag neigt sich seinem Ende zu. Der Herbst auch. Zwischen den hohen Stämmen ist es zwielichtig. Kalter Regen tropft ins Unterholz. Nicht eine Spur von auch nur einer Menschenseele. Wie der Fotograf kürzlich selbst in einem Künstlergespräch mit dem Bildwissenschaftler Prof. Dr. Christoph Schaden erzählte, habe er die Serie vor einiger Zeit als ganz … Read more
