This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Finally it is September and the first day of America’s Cup racing arrived. After the lopsided races in the Louis Vuitton Coup, we finally got two teams competing…. or almost… Emirates Team New Zealand won both races, although with a much smaller margin, […]
Being busy with unpacking from my recent trip to Burning Man, I totally missed tonight’s sunset. I saw the beautiful pastel colors in the sky, but didn’t have time to leave home to try to capture this. But a little bit later while preparing the BBQ to cook dinner, I saw the moon and Venus […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. I missed the first two days of racing of the RedBull Youth America’s Cup (RBYAC) here in San Francisco, but I was very pleased to see our Swiss Team Tilt being in second place. Unfortunately, they couldn’t keep this position during races four […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Luna Rossa against Artemis Racing, the first semifinal of the Louis Vuitton Cup here in San Francisco. Everyone was wondering how well Artemis will do in their first race and only on day 9 on their new foaling AC72. It showed that they […]
Jeff Sullivan invited us to join him for a photowalk at a hot air balloon event at a lake in the Tahoe National Forest. This is an unofficial event where balloon teams meet each other for some fun and social time. Another goal is to give their support personnel a chance to fly, since they […]
During my recent trip to the White Mountains, I was happy to finally spot the Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep. I knew that the previous day, some visitors encountered a flock midway up the Silver Canyon Road*. Since this was the route I had planned to take, I was hopeful to find some as well. Indeed, […]
I love being outside at night and gazing at the stars. Due to the light pollution around big cities, only a small part of the night sky is visible. To avoid this, one has to travel far away to have a chance to see the dark sky glowing with stars and maybe even the milky […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Yesterday was another racing day with two boats: Emirates Team New Zealand versus Luna Rossa. New Zealand got a great start ahead of Luna Rossa and the distance between the two boats increased from 20s at the first mark to more than 7 […]

This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. It is summer in San Francisco which means colder temperatures and a lot of fog. Today was no exception: This is the second time that Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) met Luna Rossa Challenge (LR) in the Louis Vuitton Cup. A week ago, […]
I was in the process to prepare some images for printing when I realized, that I haven’t yet posted them on my blog. These images were created while I visited Big Sur a few months ago. It is a continuation of my Waterscapes project (link) where I explore the effect of long time exposure on […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Last week’s Louis Vuitton Cup sailing races were kind of strange as only one lonely boat worked the course. Today was the first time that two boats faced each other: Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) against Italy’s Luna Rossa Challenge (LR). ETNZ showed […]
Currently it is very hot here in the California’s White Mountains range and thunderstorms are common. The clouds start to form around noon and build-up from there. By mid-afternoon the first rain comes, which is very welcoming as the temperatures drop. After 30 minutes the rain is over and the sky starts to clear. Last […]
It is a longstanding tradition of San Francisco to use colorful lights to celebrate special occasions. Right now it is time to celebrate pride week. So the color scheme is simple: rainbow colors! In the past I have posted images of red and gold to celebrate the 49ers post-season run, blue and gold for the […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Today was the first time Oracle raced their two AC72’s in the bay. At one point I was able to capture a sequence where one of their boats made a quick turn while foiling (edit: that’s called gybing on foils)! This is just […]
