More Kuching

Last night they had a big parade celebrating the anniversary of a famous taoist temple here in Kuching. I tried to photograph the dragon dancers, but this detail of one of the decorated trucks is the only image I like.

Breakfast! Laksa at Choon Hui Cafe (that’s a Kalimansi lime at the bottom).

Pelikan booklet

At the suggestion of Markus Schaden I made a booklet out of my Pelikan series using a rather complicated (for me) folding structure. As a result you can create your own 3-image-spreads. At first I was afraid that this might be nothing but a gimmick, but it actually works quite well. Don’t ask me how many pages I wasted printing! You get an idea how it works in this short video:

Today I sent the book (my only copy!) off to Kassel for the Fotobook Festival Dummy Award 2012.

Waiting

This image was made last Sunday while waiting on a somewhat delayed plane at Charles de Gaulle Airport to get back to Hamburg.

La Condesa, Austin

Atún tostadas and cangrejo tostadas at La Condesa. Wow! Amazing food, super friendly and professional staff and a great happy hour. Killer margaritas, too.

They also do this:

It’s an „Alma Blanca“, one of their signature drinks, made with crushed sweet corn, habanero tequila, and a rose and hibiscus infused salt rim. Wow again!
