Last saturday, I participated in my first “Fotomarathon” in Berlin, an event where you have to shoot 12 photos in 12 hours. Sounds simple enough right? Well, actually it’s a lot harder than you might think. Because there are a lot of rules, that you have to follow. The most important ones are:
- All photos have to fit an overarching theme
- Every photo has to fit a specific subject, which are revealed as stacks of four and have to be collected at meeting points every four hours.
Sounds hard enough? Well, there are even more rules:
- The photos have to be taken in the specified order
- Only jpeg photos are allowed
- No digital image manipulation whatsoever
- All pictures have to be taken in landscape
The theme of this years Fotomarathon was “Beyond any borders/limits”
My brother persuaded me into participating in the Fotomarathon and I dragged my girlfriend into this. She didn’t take any pictures but had to model for both of us (of which she did a great job).
I hoped to evolve my photography skills and overcome my fear of asking people to pose for pictures.
Hamburg, you can be quite lovely. (hier: Außenalster)

Japan, I will be back! #travelflashbacks2015 (hier: Yokohama Landmark Tower)
I did the typical hipster stuff at Omotesandō today. The coffee is great and so is the location. http://ift.tt/1bq2x0q
We had to get up at 6:30am to get to the airport in time. As we didn’t have any time to eat breakfast, we went for Starbucks. Normally I boycot Starbucks but Starbucks in Japan isn’t your regular everyday Starbucks. They offer special Japanese beverages such as Coffee Jelly Frappucino. It was so extremely sweet that I got a sugar shock after drinking it.
This was our last day in Japan. As such, we had to make the most out of it.
We planned in way too many things and did only half of that.
Our second last day was spent in Shimokitazawa which is a very ✌️trendy✌️ place. It contains of old buildings, lots of art and café after café. In other words: the perfect spot for us.
I had to fulfil a childhood dream of mine: visit the Nintendo headquarters. The building wasn’t as exciting as I had hoped, though. And there was no way of getting inside.
It was our last day in Kyoto and we headed back to Tokyo.
We started the day with our standard 7-eleven breakfast: iced coffee (it was already 25°C in the morning), Onigiri and Sushi rolls.
That day, we planned to go to Osaka.
