A (couple of) word(s) on blogging

2012 is gonna be even greater than 2011!

So let’s finally get our stuff together and let’s something (new). I’ll start by starting a blog (again). I actually used to have one: Back in 2007, I decided to take a break from Germany and make it in the wine business in Hong Kong. There wasn’t a particular reason why I chose HK and/or wine – I think they chose me. You probably know these kind of situations: A lot of random coincidences come together and then, after three weeks, you find yourself selling Bordeaux to crazy and ridiculously rich Chinese people – or sth. like that. I like these kind of situations, so I eager take opportunities whenever they come along.

To stay in touch with my friends, I started a blog. I thought: This is less spammy than the usual bragging email update of whoever taking the usual trip from Sydney to Cairnes boring people with the same images and phrases over and over again  – no fucking worries! I also thought: I’m able to store my memories and experiences neatly and savely and most of all: forever! (I was wrong though: It only took about a couple of months for the server to crash and inevitably send to hell what I got together so far: A great collection of culture clashs, a burp counting high score of my female colleagues and a summary of clips of gortesque moves performed by several hundred year old Chinese men.) I’ll try to find some imagery of these days!

Anyway, I started a blog but I wouldn’t have thought that anybody – apart from my family and very close friends – would read it. Yet Iwas wrong: when the server crashed and evaporated my „cultural insights“ something peculiar happened: Some people were actually complaining via email. Occasionally I ran into somebody I didn’t even know too well, they were asking me why I took my blog offline – they seemed to follow and kinda like it. So, yeah! I’d like to do this again and get my word and images out there again. I hope I can start a discussion with people who are interested in everything about Photography. I’ll try to give it a little personal touch and don’t worry: I’ll be less wordy and more illustrative.

In short:
I once had a blog. I’m doing it again.
