  Targeting Well-defined Audience Segments

Accessing the Internet at high speeds has several positive effects on Internet usage resulting in higher connectivity and new sorts of services.

Due to better transparency today its possible to reach one's audience when they are searching online, while researching a product or service and when they are spending time online on activities like social networking or watching videos.

I'm expecting more new touch-points in 2008 due to an evolving digital landscape, just thinking of innovative messaging services...

Phantastic capture, taken at Playa Chica, Tarifa, Spain, southernmost point of Europe.

  Yesterday's Fabulous Horse Racing Event in D.

Always a pleasure to visit Düsseldorf's picturesque green racecourse a few minutes away from here. It's just amazing to watch a live race experiencing how fast they can go. The difference from average starts with the saddle. Excellent shot!

  Relaxing between Two Dives on Dreamy Maldives

A wonderful place to relax after an exhausting drift dive on the Maldives. I'm wondering which of the 1,192 islets it might be. Meeru, Kani, Kurumba, Bandos, Paradise Island...

Well, in any case i think it's one of the 86 tourist resorts. Dreamy.

Maldives are famous for their short, but powerful sunsets. Just before the sun sinks in the ocean it's the best time to experience a beautiful colored spectacle. One minute later it's dark. An excellent shot!

  HAPPY HOLIDAYS & HAPPY NEW YEAR! The slide show will tell you about some of my favorite off-piste that l'Espace Killy offers. I present these more to be viewed where we have skied rather than to encourage you to do the same. The risk zero doesn't exist in the mountains. Off-piste skiing involves analyzing the mountain to find these safer areas, skiing in a manner that minimizes risk and being equipped.

  Fantastic Shot of a Sailfish Raising it's Sail

Although diving extensively in tropical open waters I've never been lucky to meet a Sailfish. Reaching speeds of up to 68 m/h it's the fastest fish on the ocean, it's an exiting and extraordinary opportunity to shoot such a photo of a Sailfish with it's sail raised. I'm really jealous.

  Fog at Sunrise in Dubai

Flying with Emirates to a dive trip on the Maldives involves 9 h of pure flight time from Fankfurt/Germany to Male/Maldives and usually requires one stop in Dubai, well nothing special about that, usually it's clear sky and a hot sunny weather. The more I got surprised when I stumbled upon this amazing photo.
