I’ve started to work on a new set of abstract polyptychs (pictures in parts) from a recent trip to a local industrial area. Enjoy!

Abstract Squares from the Dockyard
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010 | abstract, gallery | No Comments
I’m currently publishing a set of new abstract squares based on my recent Balls & Boxes series from the Basel dockyards. The whole set should be complete within a couple of days, and I’ll continue uploading the pictures as they are ready.
Below are some impressions. The full set is here.
New Photo Set: Balls & Boxes

On a chilly Saturday morning in December, it was still dark, David and I jumped into a bus to shoot some rare sights at the dockyards in my hometown, Basel, in Switzerland. Uneasy in its sodium nakedness, the container crane and his minions greeted us like bugs on a table cloth.
Decadimento – Italian Decay
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 | decay, exhibitions, gallery | No Comments
Yesterday, I presented at the third Basel PechaKucha Night, taking place at Unternehmen Mitte. I was honored to be invited again after last year’s presentation about Chernobyl. If you don’t know what Pecha Kucha is: It’s a presentation format where a couple of people present 20 slides for 20 seconds each, resulting in a 6:40 minutes show. Great fun – go see one if you have the chance.
My topic this time was “Decadimento – Italian Decay”, where I presented urbex four locations from Northern Italy. Each of these places has its own history which I will explain another time with a full set. Enjoy!
Chernobyl News in Hungarian

This is pretty amazing: A fellow Chernobyl enthusiast from Hungary translated my Chernobyl journal into Hungarian:
So that’s the reason why I’m getting all those Hungarian visitors… thank you Kornel!

New Urbex Photo Series: Mad Hatter’s Desert
Thursday, October 15th, 2009 | decay, gallery | No Comments
In Summer of 2007, we went on a longer trip through Northern Italy. One of the places we visited was an abandoned brickworks plant. The workshop was a large area outside a small town, situated atop a hill. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and the orange brick roofs were waiting patiently under the warm evening sun.
My latest abstract works
Thursday, October 1st, 2009 | abstract, decay | No Comments
Over the last couple of weeks, I have experimented a lot with abstracts, mostly square crops of industrial details as well as a couple of polyptychs. It’s a very intuitive process, and the folks over at DeviantArt have been a great help in finding out what works and what doesn’t.

Sergey Maximishin:Rural Church, Aramus, Armenia
Sergey Maximishin’s portfolio, mostly from Russia, ranges from whimsical to bizarre, showing scenes of unusual everyday life. This is among the best photo works I’ve ever seen, simply stunning.
Prints now available on Imagekind

So far, I have only sold prints at my exhibitions. Now, since I have received so many requests from abroad, I have made some selected pictures available as prints on Imagekind.com.
I really like Imagekind: The service allows you to pick the size, paper, canvas and frame of your print, the quality is really good, and they offer a 30-day money back guarantee. So far, I have used them for all my exhibitions and have never been disappointed.
In my shop, you can find 56 of my Chernobyl pictures, as well as 4 prints from the Autumn Leaves and 5 of the Corridor Country series. Check it out and let me know if you miss anything!
PS: If you want exhibition quality, I recommend Hahnemühle Fine Art Pearl and Hahnemühle Photo Rag papers.

The last few weeks have been very successful: The Chernobyl Journal was featured on a couple of high profile sites, notably Design You Trust, Neatorama, Cult Case, and radio host Kim Komando’s Cool Site of the Day. At one point the server broke down from an amazing 14 000 visitors on one day.
Among the loads of feedback I received, one request consistently came up: Wallpapers. You want wallpapers. So here you go: I’ve prepared 4 pictures in various wallpaper formats for your desktops. › Continue reading
