What’s in your trouser pocket?

November 7, 2011 in Photography | No comments

The other day I found some pretty interesting photos on Flickr featuring contents of people’s bags and pockets. Inspired by that, I took my own photo. It would be interesting to take more photos like that in the future, but with different people, because I think the contents of bags and pockets reveal pretty much about a person’s personality.

If you have taken photos like that, feel free to post a link in the comments!

New challenge: First Responder

September 13, 2011 in News, Photography | No comments

Last weekend our local EMS-provider (which is also the major EMS-provider in Austria) equipped me with a First Responder-bag, which holds everything necessary to perform life-sustaining urgent measures. So now, whenever a medical emergency in my county happens, I get notified by SMS. Is the scene of the emergency close to my current location, I go there with my private car and help the patient. The First Responder-system dramatically shortens the time between the emergency call and the arrival of help.

NovaRock 2009

June 23, 2009 in Photography | 1 comment

Last weekend I “worked” at the NovaRock Festival in Nickelsdorf and took a fistfull of photographs. Not many of course, because wounds were to be tended to, patients to be taken care of and drunkens to be put to recovery position.

Letztes Wochenende “arbeitete” ich am Nova Rock in Nickelsdorf und machte bei der Gelegenheit ein paar Fotos. Natürlich nicht zu viele, da Wunden zu versorgen, Patienten zu betreuen und Betrunkene in die stabile Seitenlage zu drehen waren.
