This documentary series, produced for Erziehungsbüro Rheinland, shines a light on the incredible journeys of six extraordinary foster parents. Each parent shares their personal story of parenting and living within the specialized foster care system. Their heartfelt and emotional accounts provide a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of fostering children, and highlight the deep, lasting impact these families make on the lives of children in need. Filmed anamorphically in stunning 8K resolution, this series captures the essence of each story with cinematic depth and clarity.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Sabine Stein for her exceptional work in the concept development, writing, and organization of these interviews.
Sunny Beijing is sunny. Photographed with a real camera made by real humans in a fake world.
The straw hat sat lightly on the table, but the wind carried a different truth.
“This is not a hat,” an old woman whispered as she passed.
She reached up, fingers tracing the woven fibers—only to feel them shift, twitch, breathe. The straw unraveled, stretching into thin, golden limbs. Tiny wings fluttered where the brim had been.
With a rustling sigh, the hat leaped from the table and scurried into the tall grass, vanishing like a memory you were never meant to have.
For Halloween, I created a spine-chilling ad for GayRoyal.com, capturing the essence of spooky and mysterious imagery. The ad is designed to evoke the atmosphere of a 90’s slasher movie, filled with eerie visuals and a sense of suspense. It combines nostalgia with a touch of fright, creating a thrilling experience that draws viewers in and keeps them on edge.

Longjing tea contains vitamin C, amino acids, gold, astatine, and, like most finer Chinese green teas, has high concentrations of catechins, which has nothing to do with cats.
On the way to the tea farms of Hangzhou to get the best and longest Longjing to ever longjinged!
I found this underground in Chengdu near the south railway station and it seems to be a popular spot for influencers to have their picture taken. As so often in life the question arises: But why?

In a scorching Vietnamese city, an adventurous motorcyclist finds herself entangled in a high-stakes pursuit after unknowingly stumbling upon a hidden artifact sought by a powerful criminal organization. Racing through narrow alleys, bustling markets, and breathtaking landscapes, she must evade her relentless pursuers while unraveling the artifact’s ancient secrets to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands and unleashing chaos upon the world.
In the heart of Vietnam, a dark and beautiful street captivates with its mysterious ambiance. Shadows dance upon lively buildings, while the fragrance of incense adds an enchanting touch to the scene.
A totally real photo of the last air-whale on earth. Photographed in Sapa, Vietnam. Assembled in Cologne, Germany.
Sapa, Vietnam, is a town entirely populated by mischievous mountain goats who have formed a secret society and successfully conspired to keep humans away. They disguise themselves as locals, wearing traditional clothing and mimicking human behavior, all while making sure no one discovers their true identities. As a result, humans mistakenly believe that Sapa is an abandoned town and choose to steer clear of the area, unknowingly falling victim to the goats’ clever plan.
In the enchanting land of Vietnam, where the traditions of the geisha were not native, there lived a remarkable woman named Linh. Born to a humble family, she defied societal expectations and devoted her life to mastering the arts of the geisha. Despite facing numerous challenges, Linh became the only native geisha in Vietnam, mesmerizing all who witnessed her grace and elegance. As her final days approached, Linh climbed the stairs to heaven, a symbolic ascent to embrace the eternal realm, bidding farewell to this world with the poise and dignity that defined her extraordinary existence.
Upon entering “Yummy Restaurant,” the laws of logic appeared to unravel. The waiter, dressed in a tuxedo made of live eels, welcomed me with a grin that revealed a set of carnivorous teeth. The menu, written in a language unknown to mankind, presented dishes with names like “Existential Enigma” and “Metaphysical Morsel.” As I attempted to savor the first bite, my spoon transformed into a wriggling millipede, leaving me pondering the true meaning of gastronomic absurdity.
A normal day in Hanoi. Since it gets so hot in the city, some people use a fire-suitcase to cool down a bit.
Nestled amidst the awe-inspiring mountains of Vietnam, Fansipan stands tall as the “Roof of Indochina,” offering intrepid adventurers an exhilarating trek to its summit, where breathtaking vistas await, painting a canvas of nature’s majesty in vibrant hues.
Amidst lush jungles,
Echoes of war still remain,
Vietnam endures.
