Seems like my "once a year" journal didn't really work out *g*. End of last year I've been busy mainly with finding my priorities. The result was a new portfolio at [link] and the decision to take it slower with Metalpics (which now is reachable through [link] and not metalpics.ch anymore) during 2009.

The time off gave me more space for creativity and time to concentrate on fewer but larger projects. Some of the results can be seen in the gallery here, but mainly you can find the pictures and the publications in the portfolio mentioned above.

Beside the photo sessions with various bands (Triptykon, Cynic, Suffocation, Hate Eternal...) I'm proud about a cooperation with Hoshino Gakki, mainly in connection with two of their brands, IBANEZ and TAMA. Looking forward to see the results in their 2010 catalogs

The way things have been running in 2009 and this different way of working made some things for me clear and brought back the passion in photography that I lost a bit on my way the years before. Nevertheless, even tho things have been running very well this year, there are still smaller aspects that need to (and easily can) be changed. I'll continue working on those and I'm pretty excited about how things will work out next year
