This time I went for a bigger challenge: Four beautiful ladies instead of one ...

Potraits sessions

I recently started some portrait photography. You can visit some first results here.

Nepal: Temples and Pagodas

Nepal: Festival of light

One of the lucky coincidences during our time in Nepal was the festival of light, Tihar (similar to the indian Diwali), which took place during our stay in Kathmandu. For this occasion almost all houses and even animals were decorated with orange carnations, which were sold on every street corner. You might have noticed them alerady in the previous gallery. In addition, the entrance of almost every house was decorated with small oil candles, flowers and colors, transforming the whole city.

Nepal: Streets of Kathmandu

I am finally making some progress with the pictures I took during our holiday in Nepal. Today the first gallery, with a variety of impressions from the streets of Kathmandu. Hope you enjoy!

Nepal I

Last November we went for three weeks to Nepal, two of which we spent hiking in the Himalaya. It was a wonderful experience, not last because we were extremely lucky with the weather and had spectacular views to the mountains almost the whole time. As you can imagine, I took a lot of pictures (one of the reasons why I haven't posted for some time ...). Here a first small selection, I'm gonna post many more in the weeks to come. Hope you enjoy!

Kasia and Anand

As you know we celebrated (and photographed) the wedding of our dear friends Kasia and Anand. Finally the pictures are sorted and selected and I assembled some of them for a small impression of these wonderful three days.

Autumn in Taunus

Last week, we packed our backpacks and headed out to the Taunus, to get prepared for our approaching journey to Nepal. The weather looked rather drab when we were in the train. However, once we reached the mountains and forests of the Taunus, it turned out that the misty atmoshpere together with the wonderfully colorful autumn leaves created a mysterious and fairytale-like mood.

Lago Di Como

Earlier this year we went to Lake Como with our friends Alexandra, Foteini, Phil and Michael - yet another great trip in what has become a wonderful annual tradition! Though the wheather was pretty bad we had a lot of fun and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and tasty italian food.

My first post

I was recently promoted! From a humble lens carrier to officially-named assistant photographer - my sincere gratitude to the owner of this blog for the honor and the hospitality! I guess the passive learning all these years, the luck of the first time and the colorful saris helped for these four (out of ?!§$) good photos! I hope you like them! It was real fun trying to figure out all the camera buttons, apertures and ISOs, the lenses, the light, the right angles, and all the 'colors and contrasts', and to try to capture some moments of all these happy people at Kasia's and Anand's wedding. And of course a clear realization how much work this whole photography business is! I guess I will be going soon back to my jewelry making :) Cu soon (?), Ioanna

Kasia & Anand

Some weeks ago we were celebrating the wedding of our friends Kasia and Anand in the pretty polish town of Rydzyna. It was a beautiful celebration and a great party! Thanks guys, and all the best for you!!!
Coming next: The first post by a guest-blogger - my assistant during the wedding shoot in Poland ;)

Linhof goes Greece: Gyhteio

Today probably the last Linhof images from our recent trip to Greece.

Linhof goes Greece: Ship wreck by Gytheio

Today another picture taken with the Linhof during our recent visit of the Peloponnese, together with a "behind-the-scences" picture of ship wreck, Linhof and myself taken by Ioanna.

Linhof goes Greece: Monemvasia

Linhof goes Greece: Acropolis

During our last visit to Greece, we took the Linhof along. It was a lot of fun and worthwhile the effort. Special thanks to the airline who let us take the oversized case into the cabin and to the hotel owners for not noticing that their bathrooms were turned into darkrooms for developing the negatives during the nights! And of course to Ioanna for accepting a third party on our holiday ;) I start with a shot from our last day, taken once more from the mountain of Lycabettus, one of my favourite spots in Athens. You see the Linhof looking towards the Acropolis and then the picture taken with the Linhof. More to come!

They have huge dandelions in Greece ...
