My trip to Budapest is already over, the first shots are processed and the brought Salami is opened.

As always, travelling is relaxing and interesting, and simply shooting for one week nonstop is the best way to free the soul.
Budapest in this time of the year is a good destination for that.
Its a city of the night, its most beautiful when the sun has left.
The historical buildings offer a wonderful background for all kinds of shots, and wandering around in the dusk is relaxing and intensive.

On the other hand the people in this city emit a certain grumpiness, that lets the air seem much colder than the winter already does. You don't see too many smiling faces, even though there are of course exceptions.
I don't really know where this "negativity" comes from, but it literally lets the air freeze.

Nevertheless I enjoyed being in this city.

I also met several wonderful people there.
Best Wishes to Mica, Caterina, Dan and Alley to name only a few.

I also want to thank Deadmind for his wonderful company, the interesting stories and the cool insider places he introduced me to.

Photographically this week was pretty versatile, with a certain focus on night shots and long exposures.

Keep an eye on my stream, there are many interesting things up to come.

Also visit www.crazy-ivory.de for a more detailled travel journal and some behind the scenes shot that I will post soon.

Thank you!

Yay

Yay, I will be in Budapest from January 21st to 28th.
If you are in Budapest and would like to shoot with me, dont hesitate to contact me!!!!

This is the first shot of a long term project I did just begin.
I found a beautiful, very historic and most importantly: abandoned location close to my working place, and I decided that it would be an interesting thing to come back over and over again, as often as I can, to document this place in all its variety. I usually visit the most locations only once, and then I probably come back a year later or so.

For me this is a way to find out how many details I overlook when I am entering a new location.
I hope to be able to capture all of this places specialness and keep it for the generation after.

This picture is a symbol for the end of my apprenticeship.
Yesterday was my final exam, the verbal one, and I had to do it in this building.
Not bad, is it?
The result was much better than expected: I got 95% for this verbal exam!
Yay!
