My kids don't mind to be in front of the camera. They kinda got used to it. So the other days we had a "funny faces" session. Here only a few of my favorites. 
My parents asked me a while ago if I could take some portraits of them. Felt a little odd to have them posing for me and hugging more often then I ever saw in my life.Just wanted to share a few of them.
Hey folks, just wanna let you know that there will be an art show in Winkler this saturday, May 2. The organizer was looking for local artists and I was asked if I wanted to contribute with my pictures. I am actually really excited about that. So come and check it out!
Finally and over due I made a deep grip into my wallet and got myself a new camera. The Nikon D700. I know Nikon is releasing the D700x later this year. But I just can't wait any longer and I couldn't affort the new one anyway.
I took this picture in 2003 nearby the small Village of Pratjau in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. I walked on the frozen lake along the shore for a while until I came to these landing stages. As I looked at them, the picture was a strange sight. They were surrounded with ice and seemed to be useless, because you could go where ever you wanted on the frozen lake. I thought it was special not to need the predetermined path.
How would it be in life to have this freedom? What if we could just step aside of our ordinary ways and look at our surroundings from a different perspective?
When the color does not distract the eye you start looking for deeper things in a picture. The expressions on the faces become more intense and emotions are enhance.
