Europe in Monochrome
Pictures taken in Austria, Albania and Hungary.
Vienna in May 2014
This one is overdue, actually. Here are some impressions of my hometown in May of this year (2014).
Vienna in January 2014
It was a busy month, so I had little time for photography. But two or three times, I could take a camera with me and make some shots of (more or less) winterly Vienna.
Greek Series: Urban Life in Athens
A short introduction to the series
In September 2013, friends and I backpacked through Greece and discovered a beautiful and amazing country torn between its ancient history and the struggles of the present. I shot a ton of pictures in these three weeks, and it took me months to sort them out. But my plan was right from the beginning to publish them on this blog. I just didn’t know how exactly. So, after some brainstorming, I decided to organize them thematically and post them in separate collections and not in chronological order, which didn’t seem like a good fit for this blog. So anyway, this is the first part of a long series of pictures that will continue through the winter. Occasionally, there may be some postings with wintery shots from Vienna, but apart from that, it will get sunny, at least over here (well, maybe not right from the beginning) 🙂
In full awareness of the ancient history of Greece and its stunning remains, I want to hold the old stones back for now and show you some impressions of urban life in Athens as I saw it.
Afternoon Project: London Pt. 3, Before Remembrance Day
As it turned out, the day I was in London on the 10th of November was the day before Remembrance Day, and Westminster was in complete preparations for the big event. Remembrance Day evolved out of the mourning for the death of World War I and became a kind of Veterans Day with many military parades and symbolism. Interestingly, the day before, there were a lot of veterans in White Hall, and I had the chance to photograph some of them.
Afternoon Project: London Pt. 2
Shot during one afternoon on the 10th of November. More information about the series is in the last post.
