Now on iTunes

I just opened up with New York City section in the store and added this as the first picture.I took it on one of the Christmas holidays shortly before the blizzard hit the city. In case you're wondering why the Beatles haven't been in on iTunes earlier, I believe to know the reason :-DI remember that Beatles originally published their music under their own label named Apple Records. The computer company with the same name had a fight with this record label, and from what I once heard in the radio, they agreed that Apple Computers may keep the name as long as they won't enter the music business. This changed when Apple came up with the iPod and iTunes. I guess some major struggle went on until the Beatles who were originally released under Apple Records made it into the stores of Apple. In fact, I remember those old Beatles records. They had an apple on the center of the cover as well as the center of the LPs. On the cover you saw the apple from the outside, on the LP itself you saw the inside of the apple like it was sliced in half. I used to play those records from time to time when I was very little and always found that apple stuff very original.

El Capitolio

This might be my favorite picture from Havana, or at least it was the one I was most excited about at the time I took it. Probably because this building is being photographed so much, and because I had the rare opportunity to capture it in such a way. In case you would like to own a print of it, I have it in the store already - just follow this link. The two pictures below are also available now.

Happy New Everything!

Hello and happy new year! If you just got here and you are a bit confused, that's totally fine.Let me explain:

  • This photo blog got a major face lift
  • It has a new additional URL - www.fluck.de/blog
  • And it has also moved. I left blogger.com and I'm now hosting it by myself using Wordpress.

And now the biggest change:

  • My photography store is finally online!

You can reach it under fluck.de. I'm really exited that I can now finally offer you any of my photographs as fine art and canvas prints right after posting. I'm using fotomoto.com as printing and eCommerce partner, which makes this all very convenient for you and me. At this point the shelves are still a bit empty, but I'm in the process of filling in many of my works. If you wish to keep updated about new additions to the store, you have the option to subscribe to the store newsletter. This is also a good option to get special offers right into your inbox. The form to sign up is on the store website.I hope you like the changes.

Snow Storm Street Scene


Because of popular demand, I'll keep posting snow storm pictures from New York, but what I actually wanted to do is wishing you a good start into 2011! Anybody has cool and inspiring resolutions? I don't have one. I just returned back home to Germany after almost eight years in the states. I guess that's change enough. Any resolution would be pretty redundant at this point.

It's really cool to be at home. I'm taking it slow. My hometown is somewhat slow paced anyway, and also pretty much snowed in. I'm spending New Year's at home with my grandpa who is now 93 years old. Even at this age, he is still the one fixing and repairing all kinds of things around the house. My family is pretty (re)productive, so he happens to also have a couple more grand children, five grand-grand-sons, two grand-grand-daughters, as well as a grand-grand-grand-daughter and a grand-grand-grand-son. Some of these newer family members barely know me as I obviously haven't been around much. They probably just see me as this weird uncle from America :)

Anyway, wishing you a great start into 2011!!!
