Memories of Grass Season

Working in social media will always mean having to be a "Jack of all trades", which sometimes has its downsides.

In this case, though, it meant being able to bring my love and passion for photography into my job at Tennis Channel by capturing the BOSS OPEN in Stuttgart on film.

The snaps are from last June when the grass season had just started.

Norway of Life

In August, three friends of mine and I (plus a dog) spent two weeks in the middle of Norway. I was already familiar with the area from an earlier trip, yet there was a lot of beautiful scenery still to be discovered.

I thought the future would be cooler

Some time ago, an article by the German newspaper Die Zeit explained the dramatic changes and challenges our planet and we as human beings will be facing if we don't start to fight climate change properly and instead just carry on as we do now.

Life would change drastically for everyone on Earth and the landscapes would be reshaped quite heavily, forcing millions of people to leave their homes and take refuge in environments where surviving would still be possible.

The authors illustrated their almost dystopian vision of our future in a map of our whole planet, which immediately brought certain images to my head, like a vast desert where once France's capital was located, or the city that never sleeps going underwater like a Modern Age Atlantis.

I hope having visualized what may be in front of us might help to understand the enormous and life-changing impact that we as a species have on our climate - and the changed climate will have on us, ultimately. But also to understand that everybody can take action to prevent our planet from further destruction, even if the bigger picture seems overwhelming and frustrating, every single person can make small changes in their everyday life that will help to save human life on Earth.

Bringing the charm of retro football stickers into the modern era

In terms of virality, the modern retro football stickers probably have been my most successful work so far, picked up by numerous global sports media outlets back when I started creating them during my OneFootball days.

Besides the fuzz, they have also been the most fun to work on with so many elements to play with while trying to bring childhood nostalgia back to life.

That being said, I recently decided to give this side project its own little space on the internet. You can follow the stickers on Instagram or Twitter and show them your love. Thank you fellow football nostalgics!
