What a relaxing day. After a long sleep about 13 hours I woke up, had a nice breakfast and we went for a walk through the snowy place of Greetsiel. We drink something and went back to our house where I lay down for a little sleep again

Tomorrow I will try some levitation with my dad on the snowy fields

Today is my fathers birthday and so we started with a nice breakfast together with my mom and grandma. After that we packed up the car and started our way. We did a lunch break at my uncles diner in Haren and arrived some hours later in Greetsiel. Again we have a very nice vacation house and took a walk through Greetsiel.

I wanted to do a Mary Poppins shot since the beginning and so we did here. Actually my mom stands on a chair and we tried to get the original look where the actor has the look from static and straight feet.

40 of 50 – Out of order, a photo by Martin-Klein on Flickr.

What a black day. I am really exhausted and still at work. There is a lot of pressure to finish all the jobs and tomorrow I will start my vacancy. The big problem: when I am back all the deadlines are near and I have a bad conscience because of that.

Right now I would like to lay down on the floor right beneath Ilonka and sleep. Perhaps in an hour or I will go home and finally eat something and sleep for a long time.

I got this stick and ball for Ilonka! She likes it very much and runs every time I throw it for her. While she was on heat I could not let her run free in the park and so I played with her in our basement garage at work. There is enough space and it is safe and she has so much fun

35 of 50 – Marion & Wolfgang, a photo by Martin-Klein on Flickr.

Today my beloved parents visited me and Ilonka. My mother helped me out to do some finance stuff and after that we did the shooting on the KÖ. While my mother spend the evening with Ilonka on the couch, my dad and I watched Underworld in 3D at the cinema.

Until now I did not post a lot of family stuff here because it is too private for me. But my parents are really great and did and do so many things for me, I guess they have to be part of this project, too.

I want to say thank you for beeing always there for me and that you raised me up to the person who I am, with bright and dark sides. I love you!

Some technical:
I did a upright format out of 8 shots and stiched them together, to get this nice bokeh with just 50mm!

34 of 50 – I need a break…, a photo by Martin-Klein on Flickr.

What a week! I guess the actual project will kill me and my co-workers. Today we had a live correction meeting the whole day with two employees from the client. And there is really a lot to do next week and this weekend…I am glad when this project is finished!

I drove to Mc Donalds, ordered a meal and a milch shake and now I am full and need at least 12 hours of sleep.

Good night!
