recently, the rural city of Graz had royal visitors. one royal visitor, to be precise. Jan Federer, from Vienna. yes, the famous city, filled with fiaker, schnitzel and buttloads of culture. we gave our best and showed him around, trying to refresh his memories of years he lost here. because he lives in Vienna now. a better life. a more urban life.
first spot was this great curb in a driveway. Sam was the first to 5050 it.

this summer, Gabriel came up to me and told me that he wanted to die. so i brought him to the biggest kink-rail i knew around here, in the middle of racist drug addicts, homeless immigrants and crazy children and told him to grind it. so there we are.

Philipp tried to film me, so i hid in my hole. i feel safe in my hole.

welcome to the final installation of my epic 3 part series “i guess i found out how many parts i can squeeze out of 1 shooting” series.

this time featuring no colors, incredible amounts of noise and buttshots. always buttshots.

first pic: philipp gosch with an amazing kickflip. it kinda sucks that long steps never really translate into pictures, but trust me, those steps are long and have basically no run-up. amazing trick. Continue reading “last night moves.” →

had a nice night-session recently. i took photos. i will show them to you now. ready?

simons first try. it was dark, we had no light (dont be fooled by the flashes) and it basically seemed like jumping into a dark abyss.

at least that was what those guys used as explanations for their inability to land tricks. but we know better, right?

i had the pleasure to try and take some portraits yesterday. well, these are the outtakes. what did i learn? i wont become a professional portrait guy.

Gabs, desperately trying to find people on the street that actually have any knowledge about photography. sadly for him, he failed. as did i.

this dog came around and watched us. he even told me that my rim-light was too strong. good dog.

usually, “the talent” gets a buffet or somehting. not with me. go catch your on food, model. Continue reading “photo-gab-y” →

there is a construction site in front of our building. this is nothing one could write about, USUALLY. but then again, you have to question everything, everywhere.

but, since this is nothing special here, i wont be writing about it either. here, have a picture from budapest. now go, eat ice cream or sth.
