2014...B-Sides and Snapshots

I agree, it may be a bit late to have a look back at 2014, but my goal was to at least publish this post before the end of 2015 - so I'd call it a success! Anyways, if anyone is still interested in what my past year was like go ahead reading (if that scares you - don't worry, it will mostly be about pictures.)

Rise Above

When we boarded our plane to Colombia we were considerably more excited than usual (for obvious reasons) but despite it's questionable reputation as a tourist destination, Colombia proved that it has a lot more to offer than cocain and gun-toting guerrillas...

The Light of the Night

If you'd wake me up in the middle of the night and ask me about my favourite mountains, Cerro Torre would probably be one of the first I came up with. Ever since I first saw a picture of it, and even more so after my first visit to Patagonia, I have been deeply fascinated by the peak and its mysterious history.

2013... B-Sides and Snapshots

31st of December. Top-Of and Best-Of lists all over the social webs - you've probably seen enough of these. Still, this is the time to look back at the past year and so I thought I'd tell the story of my year with the help of a few shots from behind the scenes.

Kabru's Awakening

If you're a regular reader of my blog, you may remember my post about the trip to Khangchendzonga National Park in northern India. In this post I talked about the ups and downs I experienced during a 13-day trek through the park - and I also mentioned that there were more images to come..

The Colours of Grey

Yesterday I finally had the chance to watch the critically acclaimed documentary "Chasing Ice" in which environmental photographer James Balog sets up 25 timelapse cameras to record the decrease of arctic glaciers. While the topic itself is anything but new to me, the movie stands out for Balog's ambition and its visual impact - it definitely made me stop and think again.

In Perpetuity

It has not been long since I returned from a short trip to Asturias on the northern coast of Spain. The trip was not focused on photography and the weather did its best to make taking out my camera senseless, but I still managed to bring home a few shots that I really like. Here's one of them.
