just a progress update.

Render not finished, and some changes still need to be made, but whatever.

Purple? what purple?

My schoolwork

Some of you may have been wondering what I've been doing all this time, so I've decided to post some pictures of what I've been working on. It's a 3d model of a VW EOS:

Mutti, your Grandmother

Hare Krishna!

This morning i received a sad letter from Andreas. I am pasting it here. It basically sais that mutti has reached her final days. She is not sick, but is suffering the inevedable old age that we all some day have to face. Mutti is no longer accepting any food and is shaking all over her body. Mutti is now 84 years old.

Love,

Mama

Hi,

"Wir leben die Situation jeden Tag und leider wird es immer ernster !Mutti ist nicht krank, sie ist alt .. und wird jeden Tag älter!Wenn der eine oder andere von Euch auch keine Zeit/Geld/Möglichkeithaben sie zu besuchen, so kann man sie praktisch jederzeit anrufen:+49-5321-658311 oder +49-160-2561997Ich lege mal eine Foto bei, dass ich heute abend gemacht habe ..Gruss

Picture time

Ok, this is my first blog posting, and I don't know what to write, so I'm just gonna post a bunch of pictures with captions.

These are the deities here in Kolkata. It's an HDR shot, so there's less shadowing.

The ghost car......

This was the train conditions on my way to Kolkata, I had to give up my plans on getting off at the stop that had the metro station, and get off at the last one instead.

This is a composite image of about 20 lightning pictures that I took. I think it looks rather impressive myself.

This is the leaning tower of Kolkata. if you look closely, you'll notice that the building on the opposite side of the street (the red one) is leaning slightly in the other direction.

The majestic hawk. I rather like the guy, but the feeling is not mutual.

That's all for right now.

Twins 6-8 months snapshots

Hi everyone! The twins are 8 months old! Can you believe it?  They are amazing and growing every day and learning so much!

Just a few recent milestones:

- They are both crawling all over the place. Sascha knows the edge of the bed and stops but we still have to watch Simon carefully cause he will crawl right off the edge.

- Both of them can pull themselves to standing, Sascha can drop back down and move around as she pleases. Simon sort of stays there and doesn't not how to get back down yet but he is almost there.

- Simon has his first tooth! It is the bottom right front and it is not fully white and visible but you can feel it!

- Sascha started saying "ma ma" but not clear if she is referring to me or not. She also says "da da" and they both make lots and lots of babbling noises with now at least 2 consonant sounds.

- Sascha "clicks" her tongue. A great language exerciser.

- They are eating some "finger food" now - cheerios (just a couple to keep them occupied) and teething cookies.

 I don't have much time these days to go through all the photos we take daily but I did grab some while importing that are just too cute to not share. Enjoy!
