#204 - ODDITY (43 of 365)


If that's not odd (or random), then what is? :D

Picture taken on 02/14/2011.
Camera: CASIO EX-S600.

#359 - WHITE (42 of 365)


White fur never photographs well or easily. Add backlighting to that and this is what comes out: A cozy Diego, bathed in white light. It is an unintentionally beautiful picture!

Picture taken on 02/22/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#265 - SIX (41 of 365)


Picture taken on 04/02/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#56 - COMFY & COZY (40 of 365)


No further explanations required. :D

Picture taken on 01/30/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#191 - MUSIC (39 of 365)


A Katie Melua concert! What a wonderful night it was!

Picture taken on 03/28/2011.
Camera: CASIO EX-S600,

#208 - ORANGE (38 of 365)


Picture taken on 03/03/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#184 - MOTION BLUR (37 of 365)


A moving cat and bad lighting make for looooong shutter times. And sometimes funny things come out of it, like in this picture where Diego seems to have lost the upper left half of his face and his ear. :D Motion blur at its best. :D

#167 - LEADING LINES (36 of 365)


This is pretty self-explanatory. :D

Picture taken on 01/29/11.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR

#8 - ARCHITECTURE (35 of 365)


Old and modern (or, in case of the Frauenkirche, old and modern in one building) - that's the architectural mix to be found in Dresden.

Picture taken on 01/29/11.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#152 - IN SHADOW (34 of 365)


While the Altmarkt (Old Market Square) of Dresden is already in shadow, the tops of the buildings surrounding it are still aglow with orange sunlight.

Picture taken on 01/29/11.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR

#41 - CENTER OF INTEREST (33 of 365)


A friend of mine and I attended the world premiere of "Coriolanus" the Berlinale (Berlin film festival) together. We walked the same red carpet the star later walked on and we wanted to capture that moment in a self-portrait. As it often is with self-portraits - they go wrong. So my friend and I, intended to be the center of interest of this picture, are nowhere near the center of the picture. But that makes it all the more funny. :)

Picture taken on 02/14/11.
Camera: CASIO EX-S600.

#226 - PORTRAIT (32 of 365)


Vanessa Redgrave, signing her own portrait at the Berlinale.

Picture taken on 02/14/11.
Camera: CASIO EX-S600.

#113 - FOUR (31 of 365)


The portraits of the four leading actors of "Coriolanus", hanging on one of the walls of the movie theater.

Picture taken on 02/14/11.
Camera: CASIO EX-S600.

#87 - ENTRANCE (30 of 365)


I attended the world premiere of "Coriolanus", directed by and starring Ralph Fiennes. Here, the stars (Fiennes, Vanessa Redgrave, Gerard Butler, and a woman whose name I forgot) make their big entrance on the red carpet, arm in arm with the director of the Berlinale.

The movie was interesting - a pretty violent interpretation of Shakespeare, transported into modern times. Okay, but I don't have to watch it again...

Picture taken on 02/14/11.
Camera: CASIO EX-S600.

#39 - CELEBRATION (29 of 365)


At the Berlinale, the international film festival in Berlin. It's a celebration of movies!

Picture taken on 02/14/11.
Camera: CASIO Exilim EX-S600

#317 - THE LETTER P (28 of 365)


Entrance to an underground parking garage in the center of Dresden.

Picture taken on 01/30/11.

#360 - WILD (27 of 365)


Diego, looking ready to kill something even though, in reality, he is just yawning. :D

Picture taken on 01/23/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#365 - YELLOW (26 of 365)


Night, snow, and the street lights wrap my neighborhood in a calming yellow light.

Picture taken on 01/23/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#22 - BLACK AND WHITE (25 of 365)


Black and white - the colors of winter. You don't even need to switch the camera to b/w mode. :)

Picture taken on 01/24/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#114 - FRAGILE (24 of 365)


Fragile, freshly fallen snow. One wind gust and the flakes disappear...

Picture taken on 01/23/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#243 - REPEATING PATTERNS (23 of 365)


Freshly fallen snow, captured in the cat net on my balcony. Repeating patterns indeed! 

Picture taken on 01/23/2011. 
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR. 

#363 - WINTER (22 of 365)


Winter in Dresden, as seen from one of my living room windows.

Picture taken on 01/24/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#244 - RESTFUL (21 of 365)


Diego, knocked out against the chair. :D

Picture taken on 01/23/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#328 - THE OFFICE (20 of 365)


This is the red wall right next to my office door, which I helped paint. I also put the wooden letters on the wall. I work at the Chair of International Politics at the University of Dresden.

Picture taken on 1/11/2011.
Camera: CASIO EX-S 600.

#261 - SHARP (19 of 365)


Icicles hanging from Dresden Cathedral. I don't want to be standing under them when they come down because they look pretty sharp and dangerous...

Picture taken on 01/04/2011.
Camera: CASIO EX-S 600.

#190 - MULTIPLES (18 of 365)


A close up of the same chandelier from the last post. It consists of multiple round glass globes.

#262 - SHINY (17 of 365)


I know that shiny also means cool or wonderful, but in this case I'm going with the more literal meaning of the word. This is the ceiling of the Semperoper Dresden, illumated by lots of lamps on the side and the wonderful antique chandelier in the middle, leaving the opera in a warm and shiny glow. :)

#218 - PASTEL (16 of 365)

#286 - STORE FRONTS (15 of 365)


This store front displays the world famous and very traditional Meißen Porcelain. Meißen is a small city a few kilometers from Dresden and the famous porcelain is something the Saxonians (Saxony is one of the 16 Länder that make up the Federal Republic of Germany) are quite proud of.

#71 - DEBRIS (14 of 365)


This is the not so nice aftermath of 6 weeks of snow and a New Year's celebration: icy snow with gravel and firework remnants. Bleh!

#20 - BEVERAGES (13 of 365)


Give me a venti White Chocolate Mocha and I'm one of the happiest people on this planet. The friend I was with was easier to please and only needed a tall White Chocolate Mocha to be happy. :D

#177 - METALLIC (12 of 365)


A detailed picture of a metallic statue in Dresden. The statue itself is not really a beautiful sight, but if it provides for a good picture for the challenge, I'm not one to argue. :D And for all those who'd like to see the statue in its entirety, see below. But don't say I didn't warn you about the lack of beauty. :D

#236 - REFLECT (11 of 365)



A reflection of buildings across the street from Dresden's biggest book store, as seen in the window front of said book store.

#92 - EYES (10 of 365)


This is actually my favorite of today's lot. Even though he is not directly looking at the camera, Diego's amber eyes really strike you in this picture and stand out against all the black and white of his fur. And I just love how peaceful and content he looks... 

Picture taken on 01/06/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR. 

#182 - MORNING ROUTINE (9 of 365)


This is technically not a morning routine for Diego but rather an all-day-long routine. :D But I think it fits the theme nonetheless. And he looks sooooo cute, captured mid-lick with his pink little tongue! *cloud9* :D

Picture taken on 01/06/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#132 - GREEN (8 of 365)


Diego loved the Christmas tree and always tried (and succeeded) to grab some ornaments and then spread them all around the apartment, preferably under the couch. He was pretty sad that I took down his green, needling friend and playground today. Poor kitty. :D

Picture taken on 01/06/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#135 - HAIR (7 of 365)


When Diego is busy showering, he sometimes buries his face so deep in his fur that all you see is a big mass of black and white fluffy hair.

Picture taken on 01/06/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#144 - HIDING (6 of 365)


My big, fluffy, black and white Persian Diego, hiding (or trying to) behind a chair leg.

Picture taken on 01/06/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#193 - NATURAL FRAMING (5 of 365)


A Christmas tree light, photographed through the tree and thus naturally framed by the tree's branches and that little Santa. :D

(This picture can be found two pictures down with another lighting for another theme!)

Picture taken on 01/06/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#138 - HANGING (4 of 365)


One of my favorite Christmas tree ornaments: a little heart that hung on a Christmas present many, many years ago and says "For Christin". I kept it and have since used it to decorate my Christmas trees. :) 

Picture taken on 01/06/2011.
Camera: SONY A300 DSLR.

#130 - GLOWING (3 of 365)


I took down my Christmas tree today and thought I might get a few cool pictures out of it. I took a few variations of this one (one will fit another theme...). In this particular one, taken at low shutter speed, the light leaves a glowy ring around the electric candle and kind of makes the lettle santa hanger almost translucent. Glowing indeed. :)

#192 - MUSICAL (2 of 365)


The Semperoper Dresden - one of the most musical buildings in this beautiful city.

Camera: CASIO EX-S 600

#139 - HEALTH (1 of 365)


Like almost every other year, 2011 started with me having a cold. On top of that, I spent the last two days recording a CD with one of my choirs. A basket full of vitamine C is my way of trying to shake off that cold ASAP. And it makes a good picture. :D
