Last Coffee, Last Sunset and a Church

DSCF2940FUJIFILM X-Pro1 (18mm, f/2, 1/125 sec, ISO320)

The last coffee in 2012. At McDonalds. How sad is that? But the 31st of December wasn’t that bad at all. The year was. But it’s over now and I’m looking forward to 2013.

XMAS 2012

DSCF1839FUJIFILM FinePix X100 (23mm, f/2, 1/60 sec, ISO400)

another year over….

A very tough one because death and disease played major roles. It affected both family and close friends. A year where I had to accept that death and disease belongs to life. No one alive today would be here if not millions died before.

When we are young death and disease mean little to us. At least for the lucky ones born in a rich country. As we grow older they become more important and we start to fear them. Till the day where we accept that they belong to life. I’m almost 44 years old now and finally grown up.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Take your time before you grow up.

I know that movies can be really impressive even in low light but I also know that the images you get when using your smartphones in low light are crap. Continue reading →
