life’s been seriously busy around here for the past month or so. busy means lots of work and private stuff happening all over the place, but it also means that quite a bit of photography has been happening. i haven’t had the chance to blog about any of it, so it’s now time to flush the backlog a bit to make some more space for other projects still in the backlog. 
well, the last photo blog-post was from the landesfestumzug. since then, i’ve had the chance to photograph some tame wildlife, sports action, concerts, candids and some sailing.
IFI staff day, 24/09/2009
we had an IFI staff day towards the end of september. it was an organized trip with an action-packed morning, good lunch, followed by a lazy afternoon with huskies and birds of prey and a bbq to round it all off. here are some pictures:
Fun and games and lots of adrenalin at the high-rope course in Kramsach.
Relaxing afternoon with huskies.
Impressive demonstration of owls and eagls.
Playing with bows and arrows before a BBQ at the high-rope course to round off the day.
surprise class regatta, YKA; 26-27/09/2009
the YKA hosted a surprise class regatta at the end of september. i sailed with andi on graffiti again (the same skipper i sailed with on the lago di garda at the end of august). we won the regatta, which put andi in the overall winning spot for the austrian class association.
saturday was windy-ish, on sunday we spent most of the day hanging around waiting for wind. when it did turn up, it was flukey and turned and died down just before the only race for the day was about to be started. gave me a chance to get some pictures while out on the water though:

Weltfest at the Treibhaus, 02/10/2009
emir, a good friend and great percussionist, volunteers at the integrationsbüro here in innsbruck. they organize a large “world festival” every year; this year, emir asked me to join the photography team of 4 photographers to photo-document the event. we basically spent the evening enjoying the festival and taking bucketloads of pictures. i really enjoyed the evening, and hope to be invited back again next year. here are all the pictures:
I was asked to take pictures at the Weltfest in the Treibhaus.
a separate post will follow soon with the pick of my favourites and a bit on equipment and workflow.
hintersee, nr mittersill; 14/08/2009
this one’s been on the backburner now for a long while. 
when eva and i were tripping back and forth between tyrol and salzburg for two weeks this summer, we also detoured to one of my most favourite locations in the mountains – the hintersee near mittersill. this is a tiny little mountain lake created by an earthquake 800 years or so ago and a fantastically picturesque location. there are some very nice landscape pictures and a couple of quirky ones of eva here:
Short walk at the Hintersee near Mittersill with Eva.
that concludes the looooooooong backlog post. to quote the master of available light, joe mcnally, “more tk…”
