I don't agree on what he's saying about love & single life, but pretty much on everything else :)

I had the pleasure to surf into 2012 with loads of fun in Portugal. Two weeks with friends, good food, nice waves & lots of sunshine! A few days before leaving I got a new little camera, a Olympus MJU Zoom 80 Wide. With a little bit of luck and patience you can find those little analogue point & shoot cameras for really cheap on eBay. This is my second Olympus from the MJU series and I'm really happy with it. This one plus the MJU II as the fast (f2.8) option and you are steeled for almost everything when travelling. I really do enjoy shooting film again and love the organic feel. After postprocessing to much digital photos I got a little bit tired of it. So thats why I actually started to shoot more and more film again. Shooting on film helps to stay in "the now", which allows you to remain dedicated to the moment instead of studying an LCD screen of the last shot. I think next time I even going to shoot a few rolls with one of my older SLRs. I love the fact that you never know exactly what you will get...

Check out my Flickr set. These are my favorites, shot on Lomography 400 film:

































For more pictures of this trip be sure to check out Luki's Set (shot on a Canon G11) and Michi's Set (shot on an iPhone 4s).

This November I had a blast in San Francisco! I was there for the Ripcurl Search event to cover it for our show. All shot with a Olympus mjuII (they call it "Stylus Epic" in the US) on some Konica VX100 and some no-name Walgreens film. Love the organic quality of film (even of the cheapest one). Check out the whole set on myFlickr!

I did edit a short little recap-clip of some last season shredding at home in Austria.
Fun times with my friends! There is a little bit more info on Vimeo.
Enjoy! :)

A beautiful short about the Great Bear Rainforest and the issues confronting it.
A great combination of surfing and environmental journalism!

Thanks to SurfersMag for hitting me up!

After Facebook I put this "page-thing" on Google+ too. Put me in your circles!
I will focus more on those pages than on my personal profiles...

The Quikpro NYC 2011 was followed by the Hurley Pro at Lowers.
So here are a few more snaps from there...

New set on Flickr: NYC 2011. Mostly shot with my little Olympus and some Kodak CN400BW.

I discovered this one yesterday and watched it already a couple of times. It's just so good in every aspect! Bravo Calum Macdiarmid!

I finished the Norway Set on Flickr with some analog b/w shots I took from time to time.

Kelly did it yesterday...
I have a couple of shots in this short edit, check it out!
