One from the Dubai series……
Leica M9; Summilux 50; VSCO
After a rather difficult period I’m rekindling my love of photography. Returning to visit Dubai has undoubtedly helped, offering me a host of different motifs that I just couldn’t resist. Watch this space for more from this place and elsewhere….

…again!
It didn’t seem a day since we last met….
‘er Indoors!
Toralf on film…
… again it’s the old Leica combination…..
…or happy families!
This is Maria in Paris….
…around town, meet Marc!
…in Warsaw….
….there are some people I could take pictures of all day, Hanna is one of them…..
On another note, these two shots may fuel the current Leica M vs Fuji X discussion… 😉
There’s plenty of Beverly Hills 90210 in the man yet…..
Here’s an ad hoc shot of Monique…
This is Andreas shot with my old Rolleiflex……

As you might have gathered I didn’t quite make the fifty-three weeks last year, so I’m continuing into 2015. More from me here!
Here’s Janine to kick-off the new blogging year!
This is Friedrich on the trail of Sebastião Salgado in Berlin.
Meet Josef!
I know, I don’t post anything for months and then two in the space of two days…. well it is nearly Christmas!
A few years ago after a press conference we held somewhere in Asia, an article was published in one of the local leading newspapers. It was mistakenly accompanied by a picture of me with the title “Dr. Rolf”.
Well I’m here to put the record straight, meet the real Dr. Rolf!
Untouched, straight from the lab…..
The things parents will do for their kids…..
….like spending a whole day of the holidays in Brandenburg’s Wild West Town El Dorado at the cold end of Autumn.
(It really is well worth a visit by the way!)
Autumn in Brandenburg….
Taken in the men’s sanatorium in Beelitz-Heilstätten.
Pre-flight check!
… on a roll, let’s hope I keep it up!
There’s been rather a lot on recently, never mind here’s Martin.
Meet a good friend of mine…..
I don’t know if you happened to notice, but I’ve been a little bit busy lately…..
Here’s Eva to make up for things!
… on Thuringia’s green pastures.
I had another opportunity to shoot Svenja (can I actually say that without getting into trouble?) a couple of weeks ago. Some were taken with the Edge 80 which is a marvelous lens, even if it is a bit of a b*gg#r to focus manually without “Liveview”.
You can see more of Svenja here!
…. I was going to call this week’s post “Little red riding hood”, but she’s not wearing anything red, there’s no hood, there are wolves in Brandenburg but not here, and finally I’m not sure Ulrike would have appreciated the connotations of the fairy tale.
…. you’ve met before.
….or perhaps girls in Singapore would be more appropriate. Thanks for looking after us at the Singapore Air Show!
I spent a lot of time recently trying to figure out whether to buy the X-Pro 1 or the M6. As you can see I opted for the X-Pro 1 (with the excellent Fujinon 35mm f1.4 lens) which gives me a little more creative leeway by using the option of converting the digital files to my favourite film type with VSCO.
It’s always good to get home for a few days, especially when you get to meet up friends you’ve not seen for a long time.
Thanks for the lovely evening and of course the excellent food!
…..Svenja really is a “Starlet“
I had the opportunity to test some Fujifilm equipment the other day. Needless to say I was very smitten, as I still am with my X100, so I’ve expanded my Fuji portfolio just a little 😉
(Whereby the cameras and lenses for this shoot were all borrowed)
I’d like to thank both Svenja and Katja, I had a great time that day!
…. this is Dia, whom I had the pleasure of photographing last October. I’ve been saving the best till last so to say….
Thanks to Dia for her patience and staying-power (in the cold and very hostile environment) and thanks to Peter for his good advice!
For more on the coming fifty-three weeks look here!
A good friend and colleague retired last week. Although we didn’t always see eye to eye, he will be remembered as one of the last pioneers, never accepting the boundaries we so often struggle to overcome.
Canon 5D Canon f1.8 85mm Aperture and Yashica MAT 124G Yashinon f3.5 80mm Fuji Pro 400HBit of a “selfie” this week, only the second time ever!
It was taken during a late summer evening’s stroll to the local ice café.
This week’s entry is dedicated to Hanna, with the sincere thanks for posing for two hours in an evening dress in some derelict military garage on a very wet and miserable Sunday afternoon.
The results of the shoot can be viewed once I get round to adding the finishing touches, so watch this space!
This was taken on her way home to Berlin at the local station.
