How nice of them…   

In case you don’t know what I’m talking about – Photokina is the definitive photographic exhibition, held once every two years in Köln (Cologne). If the new toys themselves don’t get your pulse going there’s always plenty to see in the Visual Gallery hall.

My first Photokina was two years ago and it was lots of fun. But the best part of it was when we got locked out of the hotel/B&B we were staying in. We were late from the Canon sponsored dinner on the cruise boat and the owner decided to lock up for the night. The three of us spent the night in a Renault Kangoo. Definitely not the best place for a good, relaxing sleep after a long day.   

Trnfest – Beatsteaks

Beatsteaks live in concert…. In as few words as possible – a great show. I really enjoyed it. They’ve got  what so many other musicians don’t, they’ve got the energy to make and carry out an excellent live performance.
They may not sound as great when you listen to the album recordings but the show more than made up for any downsides.

Photos are crap, I know.. but the mass of people was quite simply too big and too wild (insane actually   ) for me to squeeze anywhere near the stage. I went up on the balcony instead. Far, far away but at least I could see what I was shooting.

Looks interesting, I think I’ll give it a go with wordpress soon.
