...the EURO is over, let's go back to daily business... ;-)

were the Germans, although the Turks made a great impression, not only on the field.
what a pitty the big Euro is over and i haven't really done any shooting of the event. yelling and dead drunken masses of fans wasn't really the thing i was after. i remember the worldcup in germany where i was thrilled trying to catch the atmosphere, but finally most of the images also compared to many other photographers were pretty much the same stereotype. i guess you should stick to one particular theme in the beginning. after this euro i exactly know what would have been interesting to do...there was a private operated fancamp in my hometown. i should have been there during the whole event...telling stories about the guy who wanted to do the business of his life with selling sunglasses not knowing that it would rain the first two weeks...and many many other stories in this little cosmos at the edge of this big event...but as i already mentioned...the EURO is history...

at least i want to show one shot from todays streetwalks in Basel...just a split
of a second later she turned her head down...(Basel, 25.06.08)

...the last days. but what a strange EURO - at the beginning it reminded me more about wintergames...we were heating up the stove and watched the events infront of the TV - what a desaster! the last week was more fun, perfect weather when the Germans defeated the Portuguese. where was the uncompromising will to win of the Portuguese team...they are a great team but i guess they simply forgot that!

the Oranjes were celebrating a neverseen party in Bern and Basel and all happened in an incredible peaceful way...for the Swiss they are the real champions of this event...and in the future we turn a blind eye to a dutch camping in the Gotthard tunnel... ;-)
