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 currently live in Cape Town but lived in San Francisco for six years before that with a short stint in Taipei as well.

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.
