i´ve been tagged by Annie.
so here we go... with 16 random facts about me:


i was born on december 31th. it was a sunday.

i grew up and always lived in cities.
this could be the reason why i find horses and cows quite scary.

one of my earliest childhood memories is from a trip with my parents to the baltic sea:
a beached dead whale and lots of people gathering around.

the praktica in the picture was the first camera i ever owned. it was a christmas gift from my grandma. after it got lost for many years in some removal - i found it amongst my stuff last year and had it refurbished.

i was a bmx biker and skateboarder in my teens. scars prove i wasn’t really good at it.

i bought my first chuck taylors when i was fourteen. ever since i owned at least one pair.

i was lead singer in an alternative rock band during my highschool years. there´s a poster from one of the festivals we played shown here on flickr.

i can´t leave arguments unresolved.

i drink a silly amount of coffee every day.

some years ago while on holidays in portugal i dreamt of my godmother.
my mum called me the next day and told me that my godmother had died the day before.

i´m a movie addict.

i have a younger brother. and i make a blurry appearance on his flickrstream.

i´m fascinated by ants and other social insects.

my iPod currently contains 5868 songs.
most played song is the world you love from jimmy eat world.

i´m shortsighted and wear contacts.

i believe the truth is out there.

this old beauty was given to me by my girlfriend´s dad who found it amongst his dad´s stuff. her solid metal body is somewhat battered and bruised but the lens seemed to be fully intact and clear. so i got some 120 roll film and gave it a try. the roll will be developed soon and i´m anxious to see if the shutter is still working properly.

the nettar folding cams were made by the zeiss ikon company from the 1930´s till the late 50´s. this one is a nettar 515/2 which i learned were released in 1937. more info about the nettar series here
