I post notes about imaginaries, music, photography, technology, my travels & everything else that comes to my mind. Posts are not necessarily connected to my work.
FAST FORWARD IMAGING is on its way to the start-up competition finals at ‚Neumacher‘ and ‚StartmeupHK‘. The Berlin based hardware startup proceeded to the next round at the startup competitions “Neumacher” and “StartmeupHK” […]
DISCLAIMER: Fast Forward Imaging is a company I am involved in as a managing director.
Since I collected all my movie tickets since 1996 (at least that’s what I hope) and only remember 3 movies I have seen in a movie theatre before that (Beethoven in 1992, Aladdin in 1992 and The Lion King in 1994), I came to the following conclusions: I have been to the movies at an average of at least once per month in the last 20 years and about 2.56 times per month during 1998 and 2008. That’s 308 movies in those 10 years alone, […]
While looking for decent vintage car dealers in northern Germany (believe me, there are only very few, if any), I came across a vintage car junk yard in Trappenkamp, 75 km north of Hamburg. In fact, it is the backyard of a local vintage car repair shop and I can attest that the cars for sale did not look much better the ones you are about to see… still, they made up for some nice pictures, all shot with an iPhone.
“Introducing the first all electric american super car…” – proudly built in Silicon Valley, USA. For any Tesla enthusiast out there, this might be even better: the supercharged $ 500,000+ Renovo Coupe (Shelby Daytona Coupe lookalike), all electric with over 500 horsepower and 1,000 ft-lb torque. This true american sports car, 4 years in the making will hit the market with a limited number of vehicles in 2015. More impressive images and information can be found on the verge. So if […]
Wunderblock – Deutschland, deine Speicher – 50 Jahre Super8 – 50 years after KODAK’s introduction of the Super 8 format, amateur 8mm material will be digitised, rearranged to new fictional stories and shown in a mini movie theatre on tour. The project will be in Lüneburg from July 19 – 20, in Greifswald from July 22 – 24, in Kelheim from July 29 – 31 and in Lengerich from August 11 – 14. So if you have any super 8 material in the attic, get going. Your material will be digitised for free if you let it be part of the project.
The beach cafe “Cafe de la Plage” is located at 6 Rue des Grands Sables, 29369 Clohars-Carnoët, Bretagne, France. It was build in 1924 on the site of the Buvette de la Plage, the place where patron Mary Henry accommodated Paul Gaugin, Charles Filiger, André Gide, Meijer de Haan, Henry Moret and many other artists. Some paintings by Gaugin and other artists can be admired in the adjacent museum, Maison-Musée du Pouldu. So, if you happen to come by, check it out. The photo was taken in 1994.
While walking down the Reeperbahn the other night, I realised that the “Esso Buildings” (Esso Häuser) have been demolished already. If you are interested in how it came to that, I recommend Initiative Esso Häuser for some additional reading. Basically, it was a building complex created in the 1960ies with some clubs (e.g. Molotow) and stores on the Spielbudenplatz as well as cheap apartments for low income tenants. In 2009 it was sold to Bayerischen Hausbau GmbH & Co. KG with plans for a […]
In case you ever wondered what else you could do with your instragram pictures, this might be right for you. Mint Digital, the London based product development studio who brought you stickigram, is back with boomf. What is it? It’s your instagrams on marshmallows! Why marshmallows and not cakes or something like that? According to Mint Digital: shipping costs. Marshmallows don’t need to be cooled or frozen, they a light and thin so they can be sent via mail not parcel […]
