December 17, 2010 – January 2, 2011. Almost exactly one year ago my brother and I planned a trip to Munich to pick up our friends Natalie and Tom, who came from Washington, DC and landed on the 17th. We wanted to go back to our hometown Bolzano together. In addition to that or maybe primarily I wanted to meet this girl Nadja, who lived in Munich. She had written me a message about how she liked my music via MySpace years ago, but we didn’t really stay in touch back then. This fall she stumbled over her MySpace message, googled my name and wrote me on Facebook. We communicated for some time and decided to meet eventually. As my friends told me they were coming over Christmas I kinda decided to kill two birds with one stone. Before we started in Vienna we had all kinds of problems with our car as it was so cold, we needed assistance two days in a row to have our car start. Then it took as seven hours to get to Munich because all kind of stuff happened to us on the road. We met with Nat and Tom, had dinner and went to the bar this girl I hadn’t met before was at (just in time as we were so late and she was ready to leave). We all spent a great night together. The day after Tom, Nat, Lukas and I met again and went home for the holidays. I got sick (just like now) and I started to miss Nadja, so I decided to see her again asap. I went back to Munich on the 28th, we spent New Years together and these are some of the pictures that document this period of time that I cherish so much. Click the photo to see the whole series, click a photo in the “series view” to see it in even bigger size.

December 22 – December 27, 2010. Bolzano/Bozen, Italy. This time when I went home for Christmas I didn’t really make many pictures as it felt like I’d shot everything before anyway, so. But this one day we went up a mountain to bring my brother to a business meeting and while he was there, Fabi, Sabine and I went to this lake. Click the photo to see the whole series, click a photo in the “series view” to see it in even bigger size.

October 4 – October 7, 2010. Längenfeld, Austria. We’ve had this tradition for a few years now: My parents treat me and my brother to some days in a SPA hotel every fall, so that we have some family time away from home once a year. We’re usually going to a place somewhere in the middle between Vienna, Austria and Bolzano, Italy. I just found these pictures so I thought I’d upload them.

January 10th – January 15th, 2011. Berlin. I went to Berlin to start recording a new album for my project Chris And The Other Girls. I first met Nikolai Potthoff in September ’10, he liked my stuff so we decided to work together. We got along very well, it was a really intense, but amazing week. We basically spent five whole days in the studio doing nothing but listening to music, playing, trying, recording… These are some of the pictures I took. The others look pretty much the same, so… Click the photo to see the whole series, click a photo in the “series view” to see it in even bigger size.

September 9th – September 12th, 2010. Berlin. I spend some beautiful days in Berlin one month ago. I was going to Berlin to meet some friends from Hamburg and Berlin, see some friends from Vienna play at the Popkomm, go to the Berlin Festival and to a Stars concert. It was all a bit chaotic, but that’s probably what made it special. Here are some pictures. Click the photo to see the whole series, click a photo in the “series view” to see it in even bigger size.

July 23 – July 26, 2010. Berlin. My friend spent some time in Berlin as he had a casting there and I was involved in a long project in July so I treated myself to visit him for a weekend. These are a few snapshots. Click the photo to see the whole series, click a photo in the “series view” to see it in even bigger size.

June 27 – July 3, 2010. Vienna – Milan – Sarnico – Crespi d’Adda – Milano –Vienna. Since Chris moved back to Milan I’m trying to visit him like 3–4 times a year. This time his parents were on holidays so we had to dog-sit at their place near the Iseo lake and kinda went back and forth a lot between Milan and Sarnico. But they have a small boat and the lake so it’s all good. Plus we visited that old almost-ghost town Crespi d’Adda I was told about some time ago which was nice. Google it, it has an interesting story and a weird cemetery. After seeing the cemetery we went down to the river where the dog almost drowned and Chris jumped in with all his clothes on to rescue him. At that point I was still outside and wanted him to take a picture so he tried to catch my camera, which he didn’t and that’s why one or two of the pictures have strange effects on them. Click the photo to see the whole series, click a photo in the “series view” to see it in even bigger size.

May 26 – May 31, 2010. Vienna – Barcelona – Vienna. Some friends and I went to the Primavera Sound Festival 10 in Barcelona, and I must admit, I fell deeply in love with the city. We saw some great shows at the festival, had a great time in the city and I met friends I had only known over the internet. What an amazing time. Click the photo to see the whole series, click a photo in the “series view” to see it in even bigger size.

2009/2010. Mostly Vienna. I’ve been going through films I shot within the last half year as I figured that I started having a collection of photos that had some kind of dark flair to them… It was kinda hard to decide which to choose and which not, so I might change this series as time goes by. Click the photo to see the whole series, click a photo in the “series view” to see it in even bigger size.
