Total Solar Eclipse - 1 August 2008

Finally, the images from the total solar eclipse on August 1st are online.

The climax of our trip to China was the observation of the total solar eclipse in the camp near Jinta, Gansu province. The images are now online in the new album Eclipse 2008.

This image shows the diamond ring just a few seconds before totality. Posted at flickr, it generated a huge interest with more than 5500 views.

Book Presentation

The book stadtbild köln will be presented during the Lindenthaler Kulturnacht.

Part of the programme of the Lindenthaler Kulturnacht (see PDF) is the presentation of our new photography book stadtbild köln, see also the previous post here. I would be delighted to meet you in person, and there is also the chance to get the book signed by the photographers.

The presentation takes place on 16 May 2008, 20:15 in the foyer of the district city hall Lindenthal, Aachener Str. 220, Cologne, Germany.

You might also be interested in the outdoor portrait session starting at 22:00, meeting point room 1.43.

See the PDF for the complete programme of the Lindenthaler Kulturnacht.

The picture by the way is not the venue, but the opener of the stadtbild köln book. ;-)

stadtbild köln

The new website stadtbildkoeln.de went online a few days ago.

stadtbild köln is the new photography book by Sabina Derl, Jörg Henne, Martin Junius, Hans Löhr, Ingo Neumann, Alexandra Schmitz, Christian Unbehaun, Oriane Viale und Birgit Voegels. Cologne of course, but certainly not your usual postcards.

The images which you will find on the following pages are refreshing, spirited, original, authentic, powerful and honest. They are never tawdry or trivial, neither silly, boring, nor pleasing. And they do not need any annotation to enrich.

Karl v. Westerholt

Also available as a printed book on blurb.

Butzweilerhof, Ossendorf, Cologne’s former airfield

From the landmarked, restored old terminal building to derelict barracks and a decaying container home used for the one season of the “Big Brother” TV series, Butzweilerhof provides quite a contrast of photographic opportunities. The new album Butzweilerhof contains a number of black & white images from a shoot in March.

New Design and License

New Design and License

A new design of mj’s photography is now online.

It is the “newmjs” theme already used for the gallery, a plain somewhat sepia-toned environment for the images. After almost three years, the old “altschloss” theme simply had to be retired. Along the way, I slightly changed the license. It’s still Creative Commons, but now “no derivs”, the BY-NC-ND license.
