our family just got one new member as my sister gave birth to her first child. the little fella was born on may 11 at 20:43 o’clock, weighed 3,8 kg at a size of 53 cm. although he gave my sister a little hard time during the birth both are in good health

typical german weather… after some very cold days you finally get the sun back for a weekend just to get back to nearly a whole week of rain… anyway, hope the sun comes back soon

three other pics i made last weekend.

the warm days are finally coming back so are the chilled and relaxed occasions you go out and spend some quality time with your friends. it’s nice to be able to hang out outside again and of course to take more pics again. unfortunately this could be the last pics for a certain amount of weeks because i have to send my d300s back to nikon for some testing… anyway, here are two shots

this one is played on heavy rotation right now… actually i nearly forgot how incredible this peace of hip hop history sounded to me when i first heard it… but as it is with such classics they are always relevant and you’ll always find stuff on your mind you can relate to the music and the lyrics!

candalous, money greed and lust
in this trife life, there ain`t nobody you can trust
plus there`s no justice, it`s just us
in fact, watchin` yo back it be must
and each and everyday around the way gats bust
and jealous so-called friends`ll try to set you up
it`s called betrayal

Feeling real good!!

as some of you know i do some photography work for a local magazine called koubs. the first issue dropped in june 2008 and since that date it’s released on a monthly basis. and every now and then i am lucky enough that one of my pictures gets on the cover. feel free to visit www.koubs.de and take a look at our online archive where you can read all released issues.

hey folks, just wanted to drop a little update to show you all that i am still alive . had some busy days and unfortunately a little accident regarding my camera which now has to take a little tour to get checked and fixed if necessary. and a side note to all of you who hang around in facebook, take a look at the facebook page i created for yash-pics. you know, spreading the word and all that stuff

critically acclaimed rapper and member of the legendary gang starr guru passed away after a long fight against cancer. his voice, his lyrics and his whole attitude towards the business and life itself made him a real advocate to real and true hip hop. he and dj premier created music that, after all this years, still defines hip hop and that stand up tall against the sell out through the business. furthermore he is the founder off the genre hip hop jazz defined through his legendary records jazzmatazz volume 1 to 4 in which he and several jazz artists formed a experimental fusion between hip hop and jazz. his legacy will live on through his music!

i know it’s a little late for a norooz post but anyway… i wish all of my iranian and other friends who started their new year last weekend a happy new year! may all your wishes and goals come true and may your new year be full of happiness, prosperity and of course good health!
