Goodbye 2012

2012 was a blast. Really. So much great projects, photo-shoots, trips etc. I also recognized some positive changes in my blog stats. A lot of readers from around the world joined somebody somewhere which is a really great feeling.
Meet so many nice people around the world and got great feedback!

Thank you for your support!

Picture of the year for me is Paco making the best Paella I ever ate. I really like the focus in this picture and the light. Paco was checking the time for the fish to come into the Paella. Time is very important for Paella and for so much other things. Thats why this is my favorite picture of 2012.



Some random pictures I took today.

My first photo book

Some while ago I stumbled over cinebook. And I decided to do a 2012 book. Just for me.
You can have the nicest and sharpest retina display. But its nothing compared to a good book with good prints.
I hate those cheap photo books where you actually see that it is cheap one.
This one has some nice matt finish and a superb picture quality. Really happy right now!

Sneakerb0b (D+ENG)

D/

Heute ein wirklich tolles kleines Päckchen bekommen auf das ich mich schon lange freue. Sticker, ne nette Karte und noch mehr Sticker von B0B.

Sneakerb0b ist einer der bekanntesten Sneaker blogs in Deutschland und das nicht ohne Grund. Als ich noch in meiner "aktiveren" Sneaker Zeit war hatte mir ein Kollege mal einen Link geschickt. Von B0B eben. Damals noch der ganz alte blog! Hab mir den eingespeichert aber nicht weiter beachtet. Und in irgend einer nacht (Das war dann schon nach einem gründlichen Redesign und ich hatte ein paar Bier) habe ich dann Seite für Seite den kompletten Blog einfach durch gelesen. Und seit dem einfach fast jeden Tag auf seiner Seite.

Sein Schreibstil überzeugt genau so wie seine Bilder. Der geborene Blogger eben! Aber auch Store Reviews von seinen letzten Trips sind äußerst Lesenswert. Und da B0B mehr Gewinnspiele gewonnen hat als du mit deiner gesamten Familie zusammen, verlost er auch richtig oft schönes Zeug um der Welt auch mal was zurück zu geben. Da gibt's nichts zu motzen würde ich sagen!
Ich leg euch ans Herz mal vorbei zu schauen. Instagram und sowas hat er natürlich auch.

Und weil das dann heute ja ein ganz besonderer Tag ist. Kommt B0B natürlich auch in die "Favorite blog list". Dann ist es noch einfach auf seinen Blog zu kommen. Natürlich erst wenn ihr hier fertig mit lesen seid, right?! Genau!

Viel Glück wünsch ich ihm natürlich auch bei seinem Neuste Projekt.  Hypedeals heißt das ganze, und zeigt euch wo es gerade irgend was geiles im Bereich Design/Sneakers/Kleidung reduziert gibt. So einfach aber doch so genial!

Received a really nice package today. Some stickers and a nice postcard from B0B.

If you still don't know. B0B has on of the big big big sneaker blogs here in Germany. When I was in my more active years of sneaker collecting a friend of mine sent me a link from his very first blog. And I saved it in my bookmarks somewhere. After some time is discovered him again. And in one night (and a couple of beers) I read his whole blog. Since this day I check his blog nearly every day!

His way to combine pictures and text is just so chilled to read. A born blogger! But wait there is more! Store reviews for example of the last recent city's he has been too. B0B is one lucky guy. He won so much that he decided to give the community something back. Nice right? So make sure to check out his blog and everything given below.

To make things easy in the future I've added sneakerb0b.de to the favorite blog list. So after reading my bullshit you can go straight to his blog to read the latest news about you favorite sneakers and stuff.

I also wish him big luck for his latest project. Hypedeals.de. Where you can check the most recent sale items of your favorite designers/sneakers.

Elevenplus Feltcase

Early christmas!! Today my Eleven+ or Elevenpl.us or Elevenplus feltcase arrived. And I'm already in love.


How many times you got your laptop on a table and heard scratch noises? Or tried to fit your bulky laptop sleeve into a bag?


This is the perfect solution for me! Workspace, case and additional bag for small cables and stuff!

As the name reveals this case is made out of felt and it's 100% handmade. Quality is defiantly on point!
