And on we go to another picture. This one was taken on a different continent, and in a different world…
Last year, Steffi and I went on a big rount-trip through Brazil. The other photos from the trip can be seen here, and I will surely post some more photos from the trip here too.
Anyway, on our trip we also made a stop in Salvador. Its historical centre has been declared a world heritage site, and rightly so. Strolling through the city, we walked up one street, and there I saw some kids kicking a ball back and forth just in front of these massive steps leading up to a church (you can’t see the boys in this picture, they’re just outside to the left and right of the frame). Since they didn’t seem to mind me pointing my camera at them, I took a few pictures up the stairs and they kept playing. In one of the shots the ball just bounced off the fence and came flying past me. For a while I preferred that shot, as it was on of those lucky snaps.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work too well from an aesthetic point of view, the eye pretty much just gets lost. I hope this is not the case in the shot presented here, where the kid that’s just chillin’ out is much more prominent and has some of the lines pointing straight at it. A bit of split toning again and some dodging and burning, et voilà.
So many people (ok, 1 or 2) have asked me to revive this blog. I just haven’t found the time or the energy to get back to posting regularly again, and of course — the longer you wait, the harder it gets. Interestingly enough though, I started this blog by posting daily for a good while (back in 2006). Posting frequency has decreased since then significantly, with the last post before this being about 8 months old (!).
As a follow-up to my attempts described

Eigentlich sollte es ja Apple’s Antwort auf Windows Vista ja schon im “Frühjahr” 2007 geben.
Uiuiui, eigentlich wollte ich doch öfter schreiben. Naja, die Vorhaben. Anfang der Woche hatte man mich auf diesen 
Hachja, was gibt es besseres als das Wochenende mit einem richtig feinen “Office Prank” (Büro Streich) zu beginnen?
