Refreshments

Supertan
May 1993 | ||
 |
||
| I met Bernd at JFK, so we were ready to head out for our six weeks in the US... He had been touring the West Indies for six weeks, strangely enough on a mountain bike. | ||
Rob me, I got a camera
May 1993 | ||
 |
||
| I remember we were walking around New York City on our first day and tourists weren't dressed like tourists, because city guides usually tell you to dress casual as a precaution against muggers. Anyway, everybody saw that we were tourists, holding our head up to the sky and starring at the skyscrapers and bumping into things in our way. | ||
Valley in the distance
June 1993 | ||
 |
||
| Bernd on the right with the Death Valley in the background.... Or at least we thought it was the Death Valley.... | ||
Contrast
June 1993 | ||
 |
||
| This is actually a merged photo of Bernd and me standing at the rim of the Grand Canyon.... Now, who is the wuss? Okay, okay.... | ||
Jump!
June 1993 | ||
 |
||
| This image isn't fake and the reality of it was even worse. The ground was about 400 meters below Bernd and for a while I thought I might have to spend the rest of our holidays alone... | ||
Starring into the distance....
June 1993 | ||
 |
||
| Bernd to the right.... | ||
After the journey
1 July 1993 | ||

BBQ at zero degrees
December 1993 | ||
 |
||
| Don't remember who had the idea, but we ended up having a BBQ in December out in the cold.... Next to Bernd is the designated christmas tree.... | ||
Looks like a negative....
August 1996 | ||
 |
||
| Compare this photo to the tanned, blonde face of Bernd returning from the West Indies and you have the ultimate contrast..... | ||

Worst New Years Eve ever....
31 December 2001 | ||
 |

| Took us ages to get to the party where we were going to spend NYE.... so when we got there the party was full and noone was going to be admitted.... So it was 20 minutes before NYE and nowhere to go.... | ||

| Step through the timemachine.... Again, just like last time we mistook what lies behind us as the Death Valley.... | ||
Fashion Accessoire
7 May 2002 | ||
 |
||
| At first the color of our Mustang was a bit too much of a screaming one... However after a while we realized... It totally fit Bernd and his hair color.... Like an essential fashion accessory.... | ||
Phase 2: LAS VEGAS
8 May 2002 | ||
 |
||
| After we arrived in Las Vegas and gulped down our food, we sat in the bar and the contrast between our long trip and Vegas decadence was taking its toll.... Even though it was just my birthday I banned the singing at that point.... I wanted to celebrate when we are all happy, fit and fresh.... | ||

Twister
11 May 2002 | ||
 |
||
| As we sat there with our chili and burgers, a whizzing noise startled us and 1 second later we were all covered under a few milimeters of sand.... The patronage inside the restaurant must have laughed at us foolish tourists.... | ||
Clear, crisp night sky
12 May 2002 | ||
 |
||
| We had to stay still for one second for this self-timed photo.... | ||

The miracle of Bernd
11 May 2007 | ||
 |
||
| When I invited some of my friends over for Champagne and Sushi, our flesh-monster Bernd had the little box in front of him for himself. Veggy Sushi. He has become a Vegetarian. It is true. Mankind can change for the better. All hope is not lost. | ||

Layla K.New York City / Sunday, 28th September 2003 | ||
Hello, I stumbled onto this site whilst researching Alice in Wonderland on Google. Go figure! I thoroughly enjoyed the photos as some of the photography is excellent and the situations remind me of my own strange but fun travel experiences that I also document via photography. Keep up the good work! :-) | ||
