Burning Man Self Portrait

A whole afternoon I dedicated to photographing things inside dust storms. The density of the dust kept changing continuously, which made it very interesting and fun. However, the dust is known for its high pH level, which is also interesting, but wasn't so much fun for my eyes and equipment.
This one is a reflection on an extra terrestrial looking sculpture.

On the way home

On the way home form the desert. This mirror needs to be cleaned.

I was balancing the camera on the window frame with one hand. Now I'm thinking about all those new interesting perspectives one could get by installing the camera on the car and doing long time exposures while driving through the night. I know there is all kinds of equipment out there to get a camera mounted onto a car. Filmmakers use stuff like that, right? Would that be too much over the top? Maybe I get something small to get me started. However, the thought of the camera falling off while driving is a real nightmare.

Cross Country - Day 5 & 6

Better late than never, here is a little post about the past two days. I spent most of the fifth day in Oklahoma. I met real Oklahomans and got some advice on what to see there. The result is the picture below: the tall grass prairie. I enjoyed this a lot. Very large open space and not a single person anywhere. The only traces of civilization are roads (not many though) and fences. Here and there a barn and some cows, and that's it. Not that I haven't seen something like that before, but you can really drive there for hours and nothing changes. And that's basically what I did.

Late at night between day 5 and 6 I reached Texas and stayed in Amarillo. Before checking in to some roadside motel, I visited the Cadillac Ranch. This is another story and worth another post.

Day six I spent driving through New Mexico up to Santa Fe. My idea was to spend a white Christmas there.

The tall grass prairie of Oklahoma. What looks like a very short arm is just me being German and bending my elbow exact 90 degrees while using the remote control.

Interview

This morning I gave a little interview about my photography. This was for what I believe to be the smallest TV station of the country. The station serves patients of St. Vincenz hospital - a place I'm exhibiting at right now.
The interviewer was very well prepared and familiar with my work. This, and the whole interview situation was a really interesting experience. Steffi was with me and took this picture.


I'll post the video at some point when I have it.
