Fotografie
Die Fotografie ist meine größte Leidenschaft!
Schon in analogen Zeiten liebte ich es, die Welt mit meinen Augen durch den Sucher zu betrachten und meinen eigenen Focus zu gestalten.
Die Fotografie lehrte mich, Dinge zu sehen, die ich im Normalfall übersehen würde. Und sie erweiterte meine Vorstellungskraft auf so vielen Ebenen.
Mein Arbeitsgerät ist eine Nikon Zfc und eine Nikon D7200. Und die Zeit, die ich früher in der Dunkelkammer verbrachte, sitze ich nun vor dem PC und entwickle meine RAW-Dateien mit Affinity Photo. Zum Archivieren nutze ich Flickr.

This year, I once again visited the International Bluegrass Festival in Bühl. Probably the most important festival of its kind in Germany and Europe.
The lineup of bands reflects this. The Canadian band "The Slocan Ramblers" flew to Germany especially for this evening and back to Canada the next.
And the presence of Kristy Cox also underscores the importance of this event. Her name appears several times in the current singles charts.
The festival kicked off on Friday evening under the motto "Bluegrass Under Lifts" at the Josef Oechsle company. Bluegrass Cash & Kikki Géron (D/NL) and the American band Hayseed Dixie performed there. The latter thrilled the audience with their energetic performance.
The festival continued on Saturday evening at the Bürgerhaus Neuer Markt. Taff Rapids (UK), Blue Weed (I), The Slocan Ramblers (CAN), and Kristy Cox & Grasstime (AUS/USA) performed there, offering a diverse musical spectrum from traditional bluegrass to Americana.
Under the artistic direction of Patrick Fuchs, the festival presented a carefully curated lineup of international acts. The combination of different venues and the selection of bands contributed to a special festival atmosphere.
Overall, the festival was well received by visitors and artists alike, confirming its reputation as one of the most important bluegrass events in Europe.

Every year I eagerly await my heralds of spring: the magnolias!
And every year I have to go out and photograph them. I usually go to the Moorish Garden at the Wilhelma in Stuttgart. There, the magnolias have the best conditions and you can admire them in calm.
This time I had to test out some equipment. This included a close-up lens and a new prime lens. That's why other subjects are also featured in this series.

Because my wife's family is spread across the country, we met in Fulda, Hesse.
It was a wonderful gathering in a charming city steeped in history, especially in religious matters.
And even though it was during Carnival season, it was still relaxed and restful.
I'll definitely visit this city again, when it's a bit warmer and sunnier.

The Tennessee State Capitol, located in Nashville, Tennessee, is the seat of government for the U.S. state of Tennessee. It serves as the home of both houses of the Tennessee General Assembly–the Tennessee House of Representatives and the Tennessee Senate–and also contains the governor's office. Designed by architect William Strickland (1788–1854) of Philadelphia and Nashville, it was built between 1845 and 1859 and is one of Nashville's most prominent examples of Greek Revival architecture. The building, one of 12 state capitols that does not have a dome, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and named a National Historic Landmark in 1971. The tomb of James K. Polk, the 11th president of the United States, is on the capitol grounds.
As with all U.S. government facilities, we received a warm welcome. In addition to the free guided tour, we also had plenty of time to explore the building independently.
