Take a look at some of my photos at Flickr.

I am planning to post more photos, but that will have to wait until next month, because I have exceeded my posting limit for this month.

The Doctor is dead

Dr. Hunter Stockton Thompson is dead. Apparently he shot himself.

I wouldn't call him an idol, but he was undoubtedly one of the major reasons, why I wanted to become - and finally did became - a journalist. It wasn't that I wanted to write or live like him - I was sure that I would never be able to do that and I was not crazy enough to attempt it. But reading his drug and alcohol crazed but very sharp rants about politics, civil rights etc. etc. was such a kick, that I knew I had to give writing and journalism in particular a try as well.

The Doctor taught me a lot about American society, politics and way of life. He entertained me and he inspired me.

Thanks for everything Mr. Thompson.

Angie Reed

If you do not know Angie Reed already, I recommend that you check her website or buy her excellent album, The Best of Barbara Brockhaus.
Angie Reed is a one-woman electronic pop band musically related to Kevin Bleachdom, Chicks On Speed and Peaches. Her music is sexy and incredibly funny (with titles such as Psychic Dick and Jungle Gigolo) and friend Trine told me that her seven year old daughter loves to dance to it. I guess it is what they call family entertainment.

Changing world

My favorite news site, news.bbc.co.uk has, as one of its many features, a picture gallery called In pictures. One of the topics are Your Changing World, which has great pictures of our changing climate.
Some of the pictures a beautyful, but also quite disturbing.
