Tonight I went to San Francisco’s Embarcadero to take pictures of the moon rising behind the Bay Bridge. As it turned out, the conditions were great to spend a few hours outside and having fun. When I arrived at the waterfront, the moon was already fairly high up in the sky and perfectly positioned for […]
I really got used to the gorgeous weather we had lately and when I ventured out this afternoon, I didn’t check any web cams to see if fog was in the air. Maybe that’s a good thing, otherwise I might have stayed home. Since I wasn’t thinking of fog, my original plan didn’t work. Still, […]
Capitola is a small coastal town east of Santa Cruz, California, at the northern end of the Monterey Bay. Usually if you are on the pacific coast, you see the setting sun over the ocean. But the Capitola beach faces south east and not west. This means sun sets behind you. Lately we have one […]
Due to the lack of snow I spent a day at the beach instead of a day skiing. It is really strange to wear swim trunks in January in Northern California and not to be cold. I enjoyed it, but hopefully I wont get used to this! At sunset I visited Seacliff State Park. They […]
This is the third time after 2011 and 2012 that I compile my favorite images of the year. It all started for me by Jim Goldstein‘s project ‘Your Best Photos From 2011’ where he asked photographers to submit their best photos to his compilation (Thank you, Jim!). I think it is very rewarding to go through […]
Time to put the champagne in the fridge and get ready to welcome 2014! One of my resolutions is to catch up with my increasing long backlog of images. So stay tuned for some more activity on this blog. My next post will be my favorite 10 images of 2013. This is a great exercise […]
As it has been a very long time since my last post so I thought to show you two images from last night. With them I wish you a wonderful holiday season!
I was very excited yesterday to hang my artwork on the walls of Jolt ‘n Bolt café in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood. This is a place I regularly visit and it will be even better now to have a coffee or a sandwich while looking at my images. Installation was very easy. Jolt ‘n Bolt […]
For a few days, work brought me to Paris. So far the weather was good and today was the first time that I got wet. It seems like I always attract rain while I am here. Tonight after dinner on my way home, I saw beautiful reflections at the recently renovated Place de la République. I […]
It is not that long ago that I captured the moon with Venus over Bernal heights [link]. Tonight we had a similar situation and I couldn’t resist to take my camera out of the bag. But I didn’t stop after the first few images. Today I set up my camera to capture the sequence of […]
For a long time, I wanted to capture star-trails over San Francisco. I already tried several times, but the condition were just not right. Last night I went to the East Bay and I had a beautiful cloudless and fog-less sky. Perfect for a little experiment: Not everything went according to plan, but I am […]
My first Open Studios show with Studio Nocturnes is just around the corner. So I thought I would give you a little sneak peek of what I will be showing. Friday, October 18 at 6:00 PM* – 9:30 PM (Preview opening and reception) Saturday, October 19 at 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM Sunday, October 20 […]
As posted earlier, I joined Studio Nocturne for this year’s Open Studios show at Fort Mason. HUB shows throughout San Francisco provide additional exhibition space for artists showing their craft. You can find some of my pieces at following venues: SF Open Studios Exhibition at SOMArts Cultural Center 934 Brannon Street, San Francisco Opening Party: […]
Yesterday we went for a short hike to the top of the Hörnli, our local mountain. It is only 1,133 meters (3,717 ft) high, but still much higher than the surrounding hills. Often this is the escape to see the sun when the lower elevations are covered in fog. We arrived a bit too late to see […]
Today we arrived in Vernazza, which is one of the five towns in Italy’s Cinque Terre. During the day, the clouds in the sky looked very promising, but eventually they totally blocked the sun. I am happy that I took this shot well before sunset and not too soon before the sun disappeared for good. […]
I love Venice with all the different channels and bridges. This little square with the old well was not far from the place I stayed. I am happy how this image turned out with the blue sky backlit by the moon and the red colored buildings.
