During that short time in Atlanta I walked myself some nice blisters. You might ask why not take a taxi and I answer how are you supposed to get to know a city if you don’t walk & observe? Was kind of odd … at times I was the only not homeless person walking around. Made tons of friends.

Ok! Ready for more random but handpicked Atlanta pictures?

I’m back home now for over a week and I have been pretty busy and just finally found some time to upload the first set of Atlanta pictures. Atlanta was very strange and partly deserted and with probably the strangest downtown area I experienced in a US city. Don’t get me started on the “Underground” I mean how can you recommend that to any visitors. Scrap this on all tourist guides for Atlanta. I did like the architecture (sometimes reminded me of the Hansaviertel in Berlin) and the contrasts of old and new. Loved that strange Marriott Hotel and the inside CNN studio tour. Skipped the Coca Cola and the Aquarium which is like effen $56! Sorry, I don’t have that budget for that.

Enjoy the first set of images and I will blog some more later:

Calatrava’s tourist magnet in Valencia is the City of Arts and Sciences, a collection of insanely designed buildings which cost a fortune a day just to maintain.

Never felt like taking tons of pictures of it, since everyone can take great pictures of these buildings. But yesterday I truly felt inspired.

I totally agree with the basics of Karma. I try to be a good dude so I hope other dudes will be nice to me.

This is a documentary about the philosophy of karma. I am into eastern philosophy which I find to have a lot of truth in it. I wanted to make a film that conveys the idea that we are all basically the same. And I also wanted to make an informative film about what karma really is in case people are interested.

Reaching out sometimes can really help sometimes. I got to stay in this awesome boutique hotel in Atlanta after I finished up with my photo job there. The hotel is right next to the Artes Center metro station which connects Midtown, Downtown and the airport with that one train. A cap ride to downtown from this hotel is $8.

Loved staying this hotel – very modern but not over the top interior design, the rooms are very comfortable and personal ( greetings cards addressing you by your name are all over the place), tons of store, kitchen area, flat screen TV and great big bed!!! What I like best about the Artmore Hotel is the fact that they have more free wifi routers then electronic outlets, it seem and they will not charge you for that. Big thumbs up for that.

Also included is breakfast, fitness room and this really awesome outside fireplace.

So if you are ever in need of a need and too to big hotel in Atlanta check out the Artmore Hotel.

First set of Atlanta pictures after the TeaBaggers. I knew about the Fox Theater but I didn’t know it’s that cool. I wish I had a chance to go inside to take some pictures of the interior design as well. As must seen when in Atlanta.

I think it’s time for a brand new super duper skyscraper. When I was flying via Newark I got a good look of the Manhattan skyline and I must say without the Twin towers something is missing.

So, what kind of person are you? Feel like going back 50 years or rather want to see what’s going on in 50?

From the outside the Marquis Marriott Atlanta looks like any other high rise hotel except for the belly curved sites. Once you step in the only thing there is left to say is BWOAH! I thought the Marquis Marriott in Times Square NYC is breathtaking but the Marquis Marriott Atlanta is truly unique and I never have seen anything like this before. It feels organic and looks like a spaceship and the Noak’s Ark at the same time.

Traveling with an iPhone into an other country can be very frustrating sometimes, because an iPhone without 3G or wifi is only half the fun. Now you can share the hotel/congress/meeting Lan high speed internet with the little handy wifi router.

Sure, many hotels offer Wi-fi in your room (sometimes even for free) but the connection quality is frequently poor or intermittent. The other alternative, a wired Ethernet connection, just isn’t going to cut it. For proper computing comfort when on the road, we think our Mini 300Mbps Wireless N Travel Router is the only way to go.

Never experienced Coney Island on a busy day. I always went in the winter time or when it was closed.
