Food I am missing ...

I miss sushi, sashimi, cold crab and all the other good asian food. It is nearly impossible to get it here in Germany. But during the next visit to Singapore I can have a lot of them ...

Yummy Prawns

Currently I spend more time in the kitchen than doing photography. I enjoy cooking very much. Nowadays it is much easier to get raw tiger prawns in German supermarkets. The quality is really nice and the price is effortable.
This time we boiled the prawns in a vegetable stock (instead of steaming). As a dip I prepared some homemade mayonese (egg yolk, mustard, oil, salt, pepper, lemonjuice, tabasco, worchester sauce). It is a very simple and tasty dish.

Eastern Cuisine meets West Cuisine

Today not too much about photography - more about cooking. Today we prepared Schwarzwaelder Regenbogenforelle (= black forest coral trout) Chinese Steamed Style. We used our huge wok to steam the trout chinese style. With lots of ginger, chilie, spring onions, and coriander. Together with chicken stock, shao hsing wine (chinese cooking wine), soy sauce and sesame oil. It was delicious ... ;-)) (Following a recipe given by mother)

Pictures from Laufenburg and Colmar

So far we had limited time for extensive tours around our new place. Still busy with our move into the new flat. We managed to visit Colmar (France) and Laufenburg (Germany/Switzerland). Soon we should have more time for exploring our new environment.
All pictures were taken with a Hasselblad 500CM and 80mm or 150mm lens.

Last pictures taken in Singapore

Meanwhile we moved into our new appartment in Germany. All boxes were delivered and now I have my scanner available.
These are the last pictures taken before leaving Singapore for good. We still miss Singapore and its food.
The pictures were taken during our stay at Swissotel "The Stamford" with Horseman 612SW and Leica M6.

Tours in Germany, Switzerland, and France

My scanner is still not here. Still in the ocean freight container and will be delivered in around two month time. Helen and I are doing a lot of trips in Switzerland, Germany, and France. Today we visited Colmar (France). Flooded with tourists, but a nice, old town.

Back in Germany

Long time no post! Reason being: we moved back to Germany. Yesterday I received my photo gear via air freight. Unfortunately I have put my scanner into the ocean freight ... this will take some time to arrive here in Germany. So it may take some time until I will post new pictures.

Nevertheless - got my Polaroid 4x5 film holder and two boxes of film. Polaroid with the Sinar seems to be fun! I will post some results soon.
