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.

April 26, 2009. Vienna, Lobau. I had just come back from our last movie trip and we decided to go to some lake on Sunday to relax as the weather was beautiful and all of us pretty exhausted. In the end the weather sucked at the time we got out, but we still had a blast. Click the photo to see the whole series, click a photo in the “series view” to see it in even bigger size.
