Hey fellas!
Took a long break right here...
Well firstly I hope you're all alive and well and you are havin' a good time.
The last months were a very stressfull time for me as I had to focus on school mostly and had to skip on things like meeting friends, realxing and as you probably noticed - taking photos.
It was about the time of the holidays when I picked up my camera again and made some decent shots.
After and also during the holidays I had another burden laid upon me - my art project for this half-term.
As art is one of my two main subjects (LK) I had to struggle very hard and invested many many hours on painting a new interpretation of Manet's "Le Balcon" and (except the heads) I like the result very much! You can take a look at it in my gallery.
I also shot some stuff in between these strussful things and I hope you liked the stuff I submitted. My teachers did and so I do like my final mark again
The next weeks are going to be somewhat relaxing as I do not have any exams and a lot of classes are left out as there are conferences.
I hope I'll be able to shoot some more in the next weeks before the exams start again.
Keep it up - Jan

Hey!
After 2 months I think it's time for an update here
I've been very busy with school lately and don't have so much time to take photos, but some of my recent shots I made in the little spare time I have between my tests and exams made it here and I can say I am fairly happy with what I got in the last time. I also submitted my first shot from film, wich is a great success, because I promised to do so almost one year ago Well as of the reactions you kinda liked it.
I will try to submit more in the future.
In the holidays (last week) I spent a day out with Martin
shooting some landscape and nature stuff wich I didn't do for a long time, but I am really pleased with it. I also tried out my new lens that day. It's a macro tele, so you'll probably see some macros here and there. I have also been doing lots of sports in the last time and I hope everyone likes it.
After nearly 3 months some of you participated in my poll and it turned out that you like my portraits and architecture best. As I am fairly active with Architecture I am going to do some in the future, if I find willing models and some nice ideas, because I have a fable for emotional and spontaneus shots it is going to take it's time until I am happy with one or the other.
I also want to thank everyone who supports me- it's great to know that you enjoy my work!
Please check out my friends that are listed below - most of them are photographers, too.
Keep the good work up!
Cheers, Jan!

Hey Guys!
Yes! I'm still alive and everything's fine!
Wondered why I didn't comment as much in the last week? Well school started again here in Germany and I'm havin' kind of a hard time getting all the work done - already in the first week!
Well the next two years of school will be farily important to me because all the marks will go together in one big report that will be my qualification for university and my last school report ever, so I'll struggle a little harder.
I also want to thank everyone who commented, faved and watched me as I won't always have the time to answer everyone individually, but there is someone whom I want to give a big thank you for everything - it's my friend - I got his 20,000 pv and was awarded a feature and a subscription - he also featured me before, wich was kind of a big support! Thanks for that Martin!
Furthermore I have a new "Tool of the Trade" to mention in my ID - It's my father beautiful Olympus XA - a tiny rangefinder camera - great for street and silent shooting!
Well I think that's it for the moment - I'll constantly submit new stuff and hope you'll enjoy it!
Thanks for your support!
Yours Jan

Bonjour à tous!
So I'm back from France and had an awesome time round there.
During the first week we rented a log-cabin in the northern part of France where I enjoyed a nice time with my girlfriend and my parents. Afterwards, in the second week, we went for a boat trip in the middle of France, where I took an awful lot of pictures and had much fun cruising 'round the rivers.
All the stuff is shot on film with my Minolta that I learned to love on that trip. I shot 5 full rolls of 35mm film. Three rolls of crossed Kodak EPP wich was more of an experiment, but it turned out perfectly well (blue/yellowish hue) and two rolls of my trusted black and white Agfa APX 100 wich was perfect as expected.
So the first day I was back in town I had them developed and printed to pick out some favorites and have an overall impression.
Although I didn't buy my scanner yet I am thinking about scanning a few with my crappy office scanner and upload them into my scrapy, so maybe check them if you are interested. I am really happy with all of them and the Minolta equipment was so much fun to shoot. It just works!
I am also taking a few new skate shots tomorrow. I'll show'em if they turn out as I want them to.
Thanks everyone for supporting!
I am gonna check my messages these days. Didn't manage to answer them yet...

Hey guys!
Sorry to write another journal. It's just supposed to be an update, but I figured it'l be too long.
So... the trip to Frankfurt with was awesome! We had a lot of fun taking pictures and walking round town. The results are also very good and I'll post them as soon as possible.
I received my annual school report today and I'm very happy with my grades. All A's and B's so I'll be fine.
I'll be in France for 2 weeks from tomorrow on, so I wont be able to post, comment or do anything here on DA 'caus we are in the middle of nowhere and I'll enjoy some time off of Internet, TV, mobile phone etc. ...
I hope everyone will have a good time and I promise to come back with a whole bunch of photos to submit and for you to enjoy.
I wish you all just the best!
Yours Jan
