spent a rather rainy day on an grassy airstrip at the border between austria and germany to cover esero_austria competition. tuspaceteam's bespoke rocket mysteriously named "A" yeeted about a dozen can-sized payloads a couple hundred meters up in the air and touched back down safely. it's eerie how similar the technical challenges in aviation and spaceflight are at all levels. it's always battery voltages, losses of signals, freak shortcuts. in the end liberal applications of hot glue, duct tape and zip ties always do the trick.

the sky was grey morning when i went for a run today. i brought a camera for a change. even a small point and shoot requires more intention than a cellphone. composing on a runners high. why stopping to take a picture at places i've been to hundreds of times? this oxygen-deprived, naive way of image taking reminds me of moving to this city 17 years ago. lately, my main camera hardly leaves it's bag in between commissioned shoots.
what are your strategies to remain active artistically?

is a funny beast, taking almost no time to prepare for and available as a sport at all times of the day. preferably at low sun elevation though.

It's already two weeks since Herbert W. Franke's passing. This planet has lost a transdisciplinary thinker who was surely ahead of his time. On his 95th birthday, I was able to portray Franke during a visit at his retrospective show, VISIONARY. Thanks to Susanne Päch and the family for letting me join the intimate visit. May the earth rest lightly on you.

Public memorial service for Dr. Lisa Maria Kellermayr aka , an austrian MD who committed su***de last friday. Having been an outspoken frontline practitioner throughout the covid pandemic put a target on her back to be constantly harassed by terroristic far-right covidiots. With little support by the authorities, she was forced to hire private armed security for her office. On several occasions, balisong knifes were seized from people posing as patients. After ramping up almost 100k in expenses she finally had to shut down her practise and ended her life a couple of weeks later.
I could ramble on about what infuriates my about the apparent failures by local police and the medical association, but this is not the forum for that.
Let her passing not be a win for the haters and trolls trying to dismantle society. let's build alliances to support those exposed to threats from these terrorists.

images don't do justice to the primordial forces present at the edge of an active volcano. although etna's lava chambers luckily had emptied before our arrival, the crater lost nothing of its awesome impression. what a farewell to etna and the . caspar would have liked the view.
