See you there!
In "Bärn!"
Today I expressed very loudly my emotions when I got an email!
In Bern, Switzerland there is once a year a very important exhibition with the best photographers of Switzerland.
I recently applied to be one of them.
Today I got the confirmation!
My project “Happy Fountains” will be exhibited there this year.
Can’t wait to see the works of the other photographers there!
By the way, I got goose bumps reading that confirmation mail.
Wohoooooooooooooooooooooo
Details will follow soon!
You heard the phrase „If you work hard you can make your dreams come true.”
This not completely true. Working hard alone doesn’t do it.
Something important is missing!
Something important is missing!
PERSISTENCE
If you have a goal, you need: persistence.
If times are rough and you are not moving forward: persistence.
If there are negative people smiling at you: persistence.
If you start doubting yourself and your plans: persistence.
If times are rough and you are not moving forward: persistence.
If there are negative people smiling at you: persistence.
If you start doubting yourself and your plans: persistence.
You have to persist, persist, persist, persist and be patient.
Hard work + persistence + patience = SUCCESS
I went through all those walls, mentioned before, but I persisted.
Also let’s not forget, that whatever you want in life, you can’t do it alone!
Thank you all who supported me. You know who you are. It’s our success!

The “Happy Fountains” are under construction from February 20 to April 3, covered with a huge tent with my pictures, which I took over 10 years of kids (and sometimes adults) playing at the fountains on the “Bundesplatz” in Bern, Switzerland.
The fountains will resume on April 4. Can’t wait to come back with my camera!
Thank you, Manuel & Papo, for taking pictures for me. Once I am back on your continent, we will celebrate!

Do you think you have control over falling in love?
I don’t know about you….. but I don’t have any control.
10 years ago, I was on a mission to discover Bern, Switzerland.
Getting known to the city and taking pictures.
The photo is one of the first photos of the “Happy Fountains”.
Back then I fell in love. No control.
It turned out to be a long relationship!
10 years, 170.000 photos, 250h observing and many hours editing.
That relationship gave me so much joy and excitement.
And even it has been 10 years now, it seems falling out of love seems impossible!
In Aguascalientes, Mexico.
DREAM OR REALITY?
Did you ever in your life ask yourself this question?
I did today!
In the morning I got many fantastic news about my project!
It will help my career!
WOW.
You know, when you plant seeds - you won't see plants right away.
You have to nurture them and be patient.
One day you will see the results of your work and patience.
