Last night at OpenAir Solothurn, I had the chance to photograph Stephan Eicher for Solothurner Zeitung. An intense show, a great atmosphere, and a truly inspiring artist to have in front of the camera.

Today, Stephan Eicher turns 66. I’m dedicating this concert photo to him — happy birthday, Stephan, and thank you for all the music and the work you’ve shared with us over so many years.

Honoured to capture the excitement of Wings & Friends 2026 at Grenchen Airshow — where aviation passion meets precision, performance, and action.

Somewhere between getting ready and moving on.

No elaborate concept. No carefully staged moment.

Just a brief pause, a quiet expression, and a photograph that stayed with me.

First warm days of spring = first pool days ☀️💦
The first swimmers are back at the Schönenwerd pool. Even with the water sitting at just under 18°C (64°F), kids are already sending it into the chilly water — and a few cold-proof adults couldn’t resist kicking off the season with an early dip.

The opening of the Solothurner Literaturtage 2026 did not begin quietly.
Follia transformed stage, voice, and double bass into a visceral performance suspended between music, language, and emotion.

Mission accomplished.
After two intense days and nights in and around Montevideo, I’m already on my way home.

Great moments captured, countless images in the camera — and now looking forward to being back home soon. ✈️📷 - a 12 hour flight ahead.

Dust, speed, adrenaline — motocross is pure intensity.
Anyone who’s ever been airborne knows: control and chaos are often separated by milliseconds.
There was a time I’d have been on that bike myself.
Today, things look different. The thrill is still there — no question.
But the recovery afterward? Not quite worth the trade-off anymore.
In other words: I may not have officially reached that age…
but my body made the call a while ago.
And that’s where it gets interesting.
Not being in the action anymore — but capturing it.
Reading the moment. Freezing tension. Making energy visible — without hitting the ground myself.
These days: behind the camera, not in front of it.
Not less intense — just more sustainable.
