„frankfurt garage“ under this name the fzs car repair shop is very well known in the Serengeti. To keep the cars running on the corrugated iron dirt roads, in the dust and mud of the tanzanian nationalpark it needs a permanet effort. Erik and his mechanics obviously do a great job. ©n.g.
For more than10 years i´m taking project photos for the frankfurt zoological society around the world. I’m doing this pro bono to support their important work. I had met so many interesting and kind people, I had seen so many spectacular landscapes and national parks, spent so many gorgious evenings at campfires in the intact wilderness. A big thank you to Dr. Christof Schenck and his worldwide team for your tireless struggle to protect our environment.
Here are some impressions from the Serengeti, one of the “hotspots on earth”
The great idea came to germany: „Can robots trust humans“ is the idea behind the hitchhiking robot who had crossed canada by it´s own last summer.
Together with its “parents” hitchBOT had visited our place in frankfurt / germany. The reunion was great because together with hichBOT we had started our trips through america in halifax in july 2014. Here you can see the blog contribution about hitchBot in halifax
If you want to learn how difficult and dangerous conservation work can be, then you have to look at the „virunga movie“ (available on Netflix only). For the frankfurt zoological society (fzs.org) I had been in the virunga national park / democratic republic of congo in 2007 and 2009. Here you can watch my video “hell & paradise in the heart of africa” about my experiences.
We missed the opeing of the exhibition, but we took the chance to visit the finnisage. the alp gallery in frankfurt had presented paintings from daniel baer. Here you get some impressions of his work and for information about the gallery and my exhibition in 2013 please click here.
