Photography as Meditation
For many people, photography serves as a form of meditation; a way to separate themselves from their stressful lives. In this book, Torsten Andreas Hoffmann explores an approach to artistic photography based on Japanese Zen-Philosophy. Meditation and photography have much in common: both are based in the present moment, both require complete focus, and both are most successful when the mind is free from distracting thoughts. Hoffman shows how meditation can lead to the source of inspiration. Hoffman's impressive images of landscapes, cities, people, and nature, as well as his smart image analysis and suggestions about the artistic process, will help you understand this approach to photograph...

New York New York Images of a City
In the summer of 2001, Torsten Andreas Hoffmann, examining new photographs he had taken for a calendar illustrated with views of New York, determined that he had too many photographs of the World Trade Center. After Sept. 11, he reconstructed the view, angle and detail of these earlier photographs to be able to compare the view "before" (photographed in black and white) and "after" (photographed in color). Pictures of Ground Zero are explicitely not included.
The Art of Black and White Photography
Over the last few years, most books on photography have been focused on the new breed of cameras and how to master the digital imaging workflow. In The Art of Black and White Photography author and photographer Torsten Andreas Hoffmann takes a different approach, focusing on image composition and image capture, with an emphasis on the creative aspects of black and white photography rather than on the digital workflow. After introducing the ground rules of composition, Hoffmann illustrates their applications with his own stunning black and white images that cover various photographic genres, including architecture, street photography, portraiture, and surreal photography. Also discussed are the elements of a "photographic language"', which distinguishes creative photography from random shooting. Finally, you will learn valuable post-processing techniques, mostly using Photoshop, that emphasize the functions necessary for creating outstanding black and white images. This second edition has been updated to include Photoshop CS5, as well as brand new images, content, and a revised layout.
Warum der frühe Ausstieg aus der finanziellen Repression lohnt (Why an Early Exit From the Financial Repression Is Worthwhile).
German Abstract: Wir argumentieren, dass die Entschuldung der Regierungen über eine ultra-lockere Geldpolitik bzw. finanzielle Repression, den Wohlstand in den Industrieländern nicht sichert. Der mit der ultra-lockeren Geldpolitik einhergehende graduelle Fall der Produktivitätsgewinne und die Zunahme der Zombieunternehmen in den großen Industrieländern erinnern bereits heute an die Periode der finanziellen Repression und Stagnation in den ehemaligen Planwirtschaften Mittel- und Osteuropas. Ein Ausstieg aus der Niedrigzinspolitik und eine Rückkehr zu marktwirtschaftlichen Prinzipien sind deshalb dringend geboten.

From Toleration to Expulsion
On April 6, 1948, a significant portion of the population of the village of Ecsny in Somogy County, Hungary, was expelled from their homeland. This was the result of Protocol XIII of the Potsdam Declaration of 1945 calling for the orderly and humane transfer of German populations now living in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. The families involved were descendants of German settlers who began to arrive in what would become the village of Ecsny as early as 1754. They formed an Evangelical Lutheran congregation at the outset that would survive as an underground movement until the Edict of Toleration promulgated by the Emperor Joseph II of Austria in 1782. These two governmental actions tak...
