2014 - February: a trip to my father. I am taking photos with my iPhone and Hipstamatic lenses and films and decided not to work on them anymore to get the analogue feeling of my old Leica cam with my iPhone 5s.

2014 - February: a trip to my father. Trying to catch the moment before the Hipstamatic app has focused to get a picture out of focus.

Again catching the moment before the app Hipstamatic snaps to focus. Taken March 2014 in Arosa, Switzerland.

Waiting for the new gondola lift between Lenzerheide and Arosa a foggy cloudy day is offering endless view to a near future.

The fog and the clouds sometimes hide everything around us. I follow blind and see skiers ski in air.

On April 15th we visited a concert of former Voice of Switzerland candidate Brendon Johnson at Henrici's with the pupils of my School Seehalde. His voice bright and clear left space for dreamy moments...

Im Rahmen des kursorischen Musikunterrichts meiner Schule Seehalde besuchten eine Gruppe von Schülerinnen und Schülern das Konzert von Brendon Johnson - einen ehemaligen Voice of Switerland Kandidaten - im Henrici's in Zürich. Seine klare, facettenreiche Stimme lies Raum zum Abschweifen.

Peaceful there they lay.... (Canary Islands 2014)

Such a wonderful day - the sun is kissing the fresh snow on the trees, they cry from joy. The snow is floating as are we....

Surfing the slopes until the sun slowly sets.

Here usually our journey of joy begins...

The view out of my office is offering me sometimes amazing moments. A cool winter morning is greeting me.

Mount Cuci in Italy was a magic place where the sky kissed the ground and Urs was able to fly again (April 2012).

In 2009 I finished my studies with a bachelor in education. We had to produce a written portfolio and I decided to design a digital portfolio aside. Please be invited to explore my pedagogical world (in German)... at http://portfolio.turkawka.ch. The site is getting updated constantly with pedagogical work of mine. It was also my first try to program some flash.

Creating an object by molding a sponge and rebuild it with clay.

Teachers had to build a frame and design their picture to our new school's motto. Attached to each other we let the object hang.
