“Even better than the real thing” – U2
Gondolas, Canals. Everything is there. The water is crystal clear and … smells! Chlorine! Everything is covered in artificial light! Everything looks like it is made of paper and plastic and I guess that’s what everything is made of here. Las Vegas is a strange place. I think prefer the real thing. Continue reading

Las Vegas is a strange place. And if you are in a strange place the best thing to do is to act strange to assimilate. Las Vegas is known for it’s casinos and hotels. So we decided to stay in a hotel and leave our RV in the car park. I guess we are no hard core campers. It’s sound very strange to pay for a hotel when you are already paying for your RV but in Las Vegas it makes sense. They have so many hotel rooms that you can get them for very little money.

This is my new website. Well it is not a website it´s a blog. My first website went online about 11 years ago. I updated it from time to time but within the last 2 years I did not change a thing beside keeping my picture of the month gallery alive. There I posted my favorite picture(s) of the month plus a more or less short story. It took a while to realize that this is nothing but a blog and it would be better to have a blog instead of my website.
Ok. Here it is: My new blog.

This self portrait was shot in an elevator in the Palace of Culture in Warsaw this February. In case that you did not figure out the camera I used here is another one. I used my iPhone to take that one during our vacation in Croatia this June.

If you still have no glue you are most likely not interested in photography. If that´s the case you probably haven´t seen my old website. That´s a shame because it was awesome and now it´s gone! That´s our world – everything is temporary. Continue reading
