Health Therapist Tabita Klein
Do you know how your vascular elasticity is (could be better in my case), the function of your cranial nerves (in the green range for me) or your house dust allergy index (slightly high for me, which doesn’t surprise me as I don’t like to clean)?

Early Summer Photography
Sun and heat have been greatly missed. I tried to catch the few sunbeams that came by. Other than that, I rediscovered some fashion items – and fashion in general for that matter.

Celebrate
Celebrations are a great opportunity to have photos of your friends and family taken – so why not plan a celebration?
A bittersweet state of mind
Bittersweetness is a tendency to states of longing, poignancy, and sorrow; an acute awareness of passing time; and a curiously piercing joy at the beauty of the world…

Day in your life
Document your “full experience of life”: Whatever happens (or whatever doesn`t happen), there`ll always be opportunities for pictures. However eventless or mundane our day may be, we still can document what we see and how we feel with our camera.
Autumn
About the special feeling at the start of autumn: “April has never meant much to me, autumn seems to be that season of beginning, of spring.” – Truman Capote in Breakfast at Tiffany`s.
Not for everyone
Why we shouldn`t please everyone. “Don`t be a purple drop in the ocean but be a purple drop in a swimming pool.”-Seth Godin
Begin
MOST IMPORTANT LESSON I LEARNED IN PHOTOGRAPHY FROM DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER PAUL TAGGART. Don`t wait for extraordinary things like a holiday to happen in order to take out your camera and take pictures. Start where you are today.
Shine and go with the flow

Feel more to see more
HOW FEELING MORE HELPS YOU SEE MORE. Do you wonder how to slow down time? Or how to get more out of the moments that just keep coming at you and running straight past you?

“the Why”
ON FINDING THE WHY. Time is always different. A holiday now will be different than a holiday in five years. A day at work now will be different from a day at work in ten years. It may be entirely different next week.
Herzstärkend
INTERVIEW WITH THE GIRLS OF “HERZSTÄRKEND”: “Everyone threw in ideas, and all of a sudden there was so much manpower! Within half a year, „herzstärkend“ basically exploded!”
Style
HOW TO DRESS IN YOUR STYLE. I`ve never really thought about what style or “finding your style” really means. In the German dictionary, style is described as „a characteristic way to express something”.
Picture your Highlights
Give it a try and make a “pictures of summer” album. The major surprise will come later: Looking back after let`s say a few months and going through your highlight pictures, it will hit you: How blessed you are! How many good moments you captured that otherwise would have passed unnoticed.

Downtime
APPOINTMENTS FOR OUR DOWNTIME are just as important as those for our Should-Do`s. If not even more important. After all, no one will regret having not hoovered often enough when dying, but it`s more likely that we regret not having taken enough time for our own fun.
Should-Do`s
APPOINTMENTS FOR THE “SHOULD DO`S”. Do you have a lot of „Should Do´s” in your head? I have, and I need to get rid of them…
Story of Pink
STORY OF PINK. “It wasn`t until I looked at the litter on the ground when I noticed all the pink petals everywhere. “
Johanna Riplinger
Interview with Fashion Designer Johanna Riplinger: “I do almost everything from a place of intrinsic motivation. It takes courage to do what feels right for me.”
Vision
When making decisions or planning, ask: Does this serve my purpose? This way we can move forward according to our values.
Ditch that camera bag
Why having no camera bag can improve your photography. Here`s where your camera is supposed to be: Hanging over your shoulder and ready to shoot. That means the lens cap is either at home or in our pocket.

Self-image
“I PRAISE YOU, FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE…” I want to look at my picture saying: Yes that`s me with a beating heart that is capable to hope and a mouth that is able to smile bright.
Christof Sage
Interview with Celebrity Photographer Christof Sage: “…It worked, because I have worked twice as much as others…”

Fashion Storytelling
WHY STORYTELLING IS THE HEART OF FASHION. These days, a lot is talked about the future of fashion and how fashion companies can survive. A few months back I had an interesting interview with Prof. Dr. Jochen Strähle, head of the fashion and textile faculty at Reutlingen University.
