(this series is about books I have in my bookshelf that inspired me a lot)
A friend of mine once strolled through galleries in Bejing and told me, he saw a Photographer that was doing stuff like like I do. So I researched a bit. It was at the Paris Bejing Art Gallery and it turned out to be a female french urban large...
dammit, I have strained some muscle in my back
and I can’t do much about it. It just hurts and keeps me from doing important things. Hopefully this will be gone by the end of the week.

the 1000 published pictures in a 1000 days project
Hello my dear readers,
as you read the title, you may think “what a pussy, I take a 1000 pictures on one day, so what kind of challenge is that?”. Well, as you know I shoot 8x10 large format, which requires analog film and a lot of caring for every single photo. (Read my last post to know what it takes).
So what is a 1000 published pictures in a 1000 days about?
Simply put:

8x10 - My Large Format Image Production Process
This post describes my process of creating an 8x10 image in urban surrounding in detail. It is not a quick read, but mainly a resource I can quote to answer the questions about my working process.
I will shoot a video for every single step in the future and put up a direct link here, so that you can see me work eye to eye.

my kind of photography
After reading my theory on what is a good photo, it is quite interesting to find how different one can perceive a picture. For myself, I love shapes and Colors of many forms, whereas the meaning is often irrelevant or the picture transforms some feeling of tranquility at best.

my goal
After reading my last post about how to become a millionaire, I think the most important aspect is, to never start the process with the number in mind in the first place. So my goal is not to become a millionaire. What for, it’s just a number - if I reach it one day, fine, if not - it depends.
My primary goal is to be able to do what I want in my life. I don’t want to be forced to...
how to become a millionaire
Since I was little, I dreamed of becoming a millionaire. I always fancied the lifestyle and the carefree living as seen on TV. Despite that I grew up in modest circumstances and seldom experienced luxury first hand.
In the last 15 Years I thought about countless ways to fulfill that goal. I studied countless biographies of the Richard Bransons and Donald Trumps of the world. Some of the people...
