Back to work!

I went to imm yesterday (it opens today in Cologne) to take photographs of Doshi Levien’s prestige object “Das Haus” for a magazine in New York.

Will post said interior shots and portraits of the designers after the magazine is out.

What is your favorite camera you use? — Asked by bigliketheiguana

For work, I use the Canon 5DMII, or 1DsMIII, which are my favorites because they are so much more handy than Phase1 or Hasselblad cameras (which take really nice photos when used for a certain purpose).

I also own a SX-70 Polaroid camera, which I like to use for personal moments and people.

On the run, I do personal snapshots with my iPhone and a Olympus PEN camera, if I remember to take it with me.

hi, mareen fischinger ! I think you are a good photographer. Can you share, when are you firstly interested in photograph and how come ? thanks ! — Asked by eldhibta

Dear Reader,

Thank you for your message.
When I was little, my father and I used to develop his photos together in our little bathroom with the red bulb and no windows. I was also fascinated by his camera in the old days and wanted to capture photographs with the same depth ever since my early teen years.

For more info, here is an interview with me about questions similar to yours: http://blog.mareenfischinger.com/post/435164997/

Best,
Mareen

New Olympus film with me online.

I have not even watched it myself yet. Other than that, I am currently MIA because our baby boy was born last week and he keeps us insanely happy and busy.

This is one of the films that were made for Olympus.

Hi Mareen, I still don't have a professional grade camera, so I'd be interested to know if you have a list of your equipment. Thanks in advance! — Asked by bernardo-deactivated20111111

Hi Bernardo,

“You take good pictures, you must have a nice camera” is the equivalent to “You’re a good chef, you must have a nice stove.”

It simply does not matter the brand or the model. I don’t even know or care what exactly I have, as long as it works well (high enough resolution, sharp photos, lets in enough light and does not break easily). Plus, anything I use totally depends on the task. Check out some behind the scenes photos to find out.

If you want to find something that suits your personal needs, why don’t you check out Snapsort.

Giving out a detailed list would be sort of creepy to me. It would be way too long and varies from time to time. However, the brands I trust in are Canon camera systems (since 2000), occasionally Phase1 or Hasselblad, Bron light system, California Sunbounce light bouncers, SanDisk memory, Western Digital hard drives and Apple for computers.

are you pregnant? — Asked by waldemarurban

Either that or I had some watermelon punch, with whole fruits…

Amazing photo works, unknown artist(s).

The past few days my twitter feed has consisted of three things: 1. The Yankees 2. Steve Jobs RIP 3. Help Amit Gupta!
So, I guess the Yankees lost a game or something. Then, Steve Jobs  died far too young and sadly we couldn’t do anything about that.
But then, there is Amit-  one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. His enthusiasm makes the world  seem a little more fun, a little less depressing, and a lot more  awesome.
And now very suddenly he’s battling leukemia.
I’m tired of talented wonderful people dying of cancer.  Do not  stall. Get a Q-tip, stick it in your cheek and mail it back. The process  is free and you can sign up right here. International friends check out this list of registries here.
For those of you who are kinky and like to swab in public with friends then there’s a party October 14th in NYC. More info here.
Please help get the word out any way you can.

If you are in Germany, no problem, because the registries exchange data, and ZKRD in Düsseldorf does so with marrow.org – there is also DKMS, bigger, but only recommended by, not cooperating with marrow.org (teach me better if I am wrong I found out that they all exchange data).In case you are ever going to give birth to a child, make sure to donate left-over umbilical cord blood stem cells, because they are very helpful here, too.

LOVE this for our friend Amit.
