Winter has come to Munich - finally!

Here is the long-awaited update on my proceedings to become a press photographer. Apparently, the biggest problem for me is still to "get in" to high ranking photo opportunities, e.g. film premieres and press conferences. I had some, but it needs to be more. Much more. But I am still confident that this will be just an initial problem that I will solve pretty soon.

In the meantime, I will keep doing outdoor shots, like the photo above showing Munich in the early morning after the very first snowfall (5 inches over night!) this season.

Since the last post Petra and me have been to Namibia. A fraction of the photos have already been published at Zanzig.com, so please feel free to visit that site to see how we spent our time in Namibia.

But there's more positive news - the Zettpress photo service is shaping in the background. While you still see the "coming soon" front page, we have been busy behind the curtains to build a system that will let you licence photos right away, minutes after they have been shot. I expect a "public beta" to be up and running by the end of this month.
