About

I’m Adrian Bischoff and this is my photoblog. I want to encourage myself to take photos, so that’s why I started this. I’ve lived all over in the last few years: Cape Town, San Francisco, Taipei and now I’m in Boston.

The philosophy behind the blog is somewhere between a ‘what I’m seeing’ and ‘good photos I’ve taken’ photoblog. Sometimes I’ll post photos tied to my current experience and sometimes just post good photos from whenever/ where ever.

Photoapparat (sometimes spelled Fotoapparat) is “camera” in German. I always liked the word and often refer to my camera by that term, even in English conversation.

Licensing images/ buying prints:

If you would like to contact me about licensing or buying any of my images, or using them on your website, please write me an email at:

photoapparat [dot] org [at] gmail [dot] com

There are links under each image to buy prints from Fotomoto. They ship all over and I’ve found the quality to be good.
