Toughtech duo backup solution

/2 Comments/in /by

We’re on the road a lot and one thing that always worries me (well there are a lot of things that worry me but that’s another story) is my data. In the past I travelled with 2 separate harddrives with USB3 connections that made pretty fast backups, but I have to be honest it’s not the perfect solution.

 

So I was looking for a small Raid1 system where I did not have to think about backupping but where it would just happen. In other words, write everything to one drive and the enclosure automatically writes it also to the second (as Raid1 works).

 

During a tradeshow in the UK my buddy Glyn Dewis showed me his Toughtech Duo setup and I was sold. This review I’m writing after working with the system on the road.

New York in the rain

/3 Comments/in /by

Now most people hate it when it rains and I have to be honest, personally I also don’t like the rain, but as a photographer I just love it. In this case it meant being soaked during the day, because we were not prepared for rain like this, but somehow it also has some magical and I just can’t resist the reflections, the people who are even more in a hurry than normal and ….. well so much more.

 

The colors just pop when you catch the right reflection, but sometimes a “contrasty” black and white conversion just simply rocks. So don’t just stay inside when it rains, get on your rain clothing and go out and shoot a totally different city. I think you’re gonna love it.

Street faces New York

/3 Comments/in /by

Today a special post.
First of all it’s my birthday (43 already).
But second of all it’s a post about a topic I really love will on a trip, street faces.
Just random people I shoot on the street, some know and pose but most are just shot as they walk by, stand waiting etc.

 

For me finding the character, the unique person or just the “weird” ones is the challenge.
One could call it a self assignment 😀
I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I enjoyed shooting them.

Apple in New York

/in /by

I’m always in for cool things and let’s be honest a cool store is always nice to visit.
I think the Apple store near Central Park in New York is an almost magical place to visit as a photographer, it’s not only a huge store that is open 24/7 but it’s also (I think) a marvel of design.

 

The following shots I took near and in the building.
If you’re ever in NY make sure to check it out.
