Oh Dear, Hello World,

Life is life... (and now I am humming in my head)

It was very hard for me to decide which deviation to include in to the journal.

I don't know for sure but I believe it is more than usual.

April also wasn't a very -heavy month. Which is even a bigger compliment to all that have been included.

Also this would be a good point to apologize to commentators, favers and followers.... I am a bit slow with the follow up.

I do check regularly and your contribution are being noticed. So thank you!

Hello World,

Another month... check... another Season... not really no. It is still very much like winter... yet the time has been set to summer.

There was loads of work to get done this (last) month and a fair few of the chores got carried over to April. The March Feature is part of that. Despite my busy schedule I think it's best to keep track of your and the groups submissions and every now and then... otherwise this page becomes a bit one sided.

- - -

It's great to see that I got so many new over the last weeks... hope you won't be disappointed. There were times I filled a roll of film every week, but weather and work doesn't truly allow that at the moment.

Plans are in motion to change that.

- - -

My blog works out fine, and it seems my secret is out... Swiss visitors are among the top 5. with UK, US and Germany. -> [link]

Again less time to write, make up stories, surf the web for awesome content.... Still alive and kicking though.

I also re-annimated my old last.fm account... -> [link]

- - -

I also set up a CouchSurfing account (details I will gladly share via PM or E-Mail) and discovered that without a facebook account it's very difficult to get some friends.

Would like to take the opportunity and address my followers if you are a member of www.couchsurfing.org, please contact me (if you feel so inclined) it seems not even I know where I could travel next.

Hello World,

I enjoyed a free weekend, some time to gather ones thoughts and catch up with some online activities.

Knowing that I won't have time in a couple of days I chose to put together the feature a little bit earlier than usual.

As always I can suggest to look at the whole folder of the month February... there's only a small amount showcased in the journal.

Hello World,

I just enjoy that I have this weekend-off. Time to catch up with my favorites, my journaling, my blogging and me listening to music.
Actually I just now realized that I just don't have to work for the "man" but for myself.

The year has now finally started and in some ways is already finished. Because how can you top a Tanzania visit and your first exhibit opening? All in the first month.

I hope it will continue as smoothly as it did until now, a few bumps were to be expected but nothing... Earth shattering.

take care,

P.B.

It's true, I onced ed more... but that doesn't mean the collectition and this short-list doesn't deserve your attention. Some amazing works with 5 s and less need your support... others are just awesome... I had to share.

Hello World,

Well no surprise that I didn't have time over Christmas and new years to go through my s and choose some for a feature.

Also no surprise that I didn't add as many images this month as many before, but let this be a good sign that my real life is keeping me happily busy.

Take a look at the whole collection, the last favourite folder of 2012  [link]

Hello World,

Already another month has passed. I am thoroughly amazed how quickly November came and went.

We had our first snow quite early this month, but today was a thick blanket on the streets and in the forests.

Due to time constraints and tiredness I do not sort the deviations I will share... I just throw them all together and hope that you will take the time to check them out.

Hello World

It's a battle between activity and inspiration in my life. I think I have to work on my time management from now one to get everything done that I intend to do.

That's why I take these free hours today to get my Feature out in to the world. The rest of the weekend will probably be not as PC-Heavy as many before.  

Autumn is still closing in but with a pleasant mix of grey and color / warm and dry / cold and wet.

I hope you take some time to check out the artists I (re-)discovered this month.

you all have a good day and the weekend you were hoping for

Hello World,

Routines are a good thing, I think, but sometimes you do need to break with them.

I still use my digital camera but it's mostly for my photography course. My art continues with Black & White images from my Canon EOS-3.

Now I have another camera in my collection, thanks to my brother who doesn't need it at the moment.

With Autumn closing in and winter coming I thought about switching to color films, to capture the beauty of this season. Also I find the irony intriguing to photograph in Winter with a color film. We will see how it turns out.

From my first three films only one had perfect lighting. I suppose the settings were wrong and the UV Filter  I didn't notice before the shoot didn't help either. But one roll is enough to gauge the effect and I look forward to inspect them more closely.

Hello World,

Again a full monthly favourit collection. With me joining more open groups, including other kind of art-work than photography, I noticed that once they are in my messages, it is easier to these as well.

There are a lot of pages and probably I missed one or two amazing artworks that I did not share in my journal, so if you are bored or just have a few minutes in your day you might check out the whole folder.

There are loads more worthy images in my -folder [link]:

Hello World,

There is a new poll considering your group-joining-preferences. But more importantly there is the question of Emotional Inspiration that I ask on my blog. For the moment I have only 8 votes and it only made me more curious.

If you have a minute in your day, please take the time to answer both Polls, you don't need to sign-in/or-up to participate in the blog-poll.

but I hope you still will have some spare time to look at the mini-feature below.

A few days ago I published this image:

Hello World,

Actually it is not yet time for this feature. But I already accumulated a 9 Page favourite folder. Had to stop there. Of course there is loads of stuff to on deviantart especially if you have en eclectic taste.

I made the experience with the feature times comes the thinking time. A is something that usually happens like a gut-decision. When it comes to decide which image to include into my journal and/or blog there more thinking is done.

Now I joined a few more groups, mainly portraits and street photography, because these are the two new avenues I am currently following. I also made myself the promise to leave any group that declines my images too often. And I only submissions from groups that have at least accepted one submission from me. Does not need to be recent but I must now that I have the same chance in getting noticed as all the other group-contributors.

Also for the first time I got a few non-photography s which lead me to sort through the images for once and give you a best off of the following genres.

Hello World,

I have a new project in mind. As the title suggests. Encounters, are what I have. I meet people, friends or strangers and at one point I will take at least one picture of them.
Until now most of these images were just in my private collection, mostly because they were not any good. I just took a small journey through my catalog of images, there are not a lot but a few that I have choose to ignore, not to upload.

But they do fulfill my requirement of quality. Now I am in the process of asking permission to publish the images. Especially of people I know.

The category Street Photography I will reserve for the unknown people.

I also would like to stress the fact that I am well prepared to remove any image that depicts you, just let me know.

Hallo Welt,

Ich habe ein neues Projekt. Wie der Titel suggeriert. Begegnungen, ist was ich momentan viele habe. Ich treffe Leute, Freunde und Unbekannte und an einem Punkt mache ich mindestens ein Bild von ihnen. Bis jetzt habe ich diese Bilder einfach in meiner privaten Sammlung belassen, oft auch weil diese nicht gut waren. Ich habe gerade eine Wanderung durch mein Foto-Katalog gemacht, es sind nicht viele Bilder aber doch ein Paar bei denen ich mich entschlossen habe sie zu ignorieren, nicht hochzuladen.

Aber sie erfüllen meine Anforderungen an Qualität. Im moment versuche ich die Erlaubnis zu bekommen diese Bilder zu veröffentlichen. Besonders von Personen die ich ja kenne.

Die Kategorie "Street Photography" ist reserviert für Unbekannte Personen.

Falls du dich in einem Bild erkennst und es entfernt haben möchtest einfach nur eine E-Mail / Nachricht schicken.

At the start of my online existence I was looking forward to "making many friends quickly", which of course is an oxymoron, but still my naive expectation. I soon realized on deviantart and facebook, last.fm and that the popularity that I knew from school and work was just as present in the digital world. As a result I was sometimes disappointed on how other users have X many more friends/watchers/followers. After I left last.fm and facebook having many friends lost importance.

Devianart was my digital gallery for people who liked  what I do.  And I continued. My account has undergone several changes. Most recently the decision to afford myself a pro-membership, thanks to ~DouglasN who usually procures that for me. But also the quality has changed drastically. My first submissions were of a cheap Sony point and shoot camera. My first true camera was a Canon 1000D a birthday gift, then came simple ~rangefinder analog cameras, a Tele-Lens for my digtial one, also #Impossible-Polaroid and most recently a old but pro-quality Canon EOS-3. At one point I realized that I could get more watchers by photographing what people like, but mostly what people like I don't like to photograph. So I stayed true to myself and the pictures I like to take. And now I did it, 100 Watchers (+/-) was and is quite a milestone and the beginning and for me for 3 years.

Thanks to all who clicked the button, use their precious time for a comment a and just browse my gallery.

Bellow we have the Feature of my 1st follower and my 100th

I a lot. Maybe some of the lucky ones already thought that I am one of these collectors who just :+faves: for the heck of it. But no, that is not the case.
I tend to use deviantart ever more seriously which is also represented in the fact that I have a pro-membership. One of the advantages is that you can share your s in your journal.

I would like to mention that the pictures shown here are only  small part. I also shared a few others on my blog , your invited to look at them as well just as going through the whole folder.

I was just curious if you experience the same thing as I myself with each change of a season. I just notice many little different changes in how and what Inspires creativity within myself.
