The Kanak people are the indigenous Melanesian inhabitants of New Caledonia an overseas collectivity of France in the southwest Pacific. The word ‘Kanak’ is derived from kanaka maoli, a hawaiian word which was applied indiscriminately by European explorers and missionaries in Oceania to any non-European Pacific islander. The population of Maré Island (Île Maré), a small 42 km long and 16 to 33 km wide island, is about 6900 people, of mainly Melanesian heritage, less than 2% of the population is of European ancestry.

Oculus New York City WTC Transportation Hub

American flag hanging inside the empty main hall of the new Oculus New York City, the WTC Transportation Hub – PATH station. The World Trade Center Transportation Hub is the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s name for the new PATH in Lower Manhattan, New York City, USA. In march 2016 the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in Lower Manhattan officially opened to the public. The new hub replaces the PATH train station that was destroyed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Over 12 years in making and construction and costs of 4 billion US$ in public money, the new train station is for some a symbol of both ‘governmental waste’ and ‘architectural excess’. The center is the Oculus glass-and-steel structure designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.

Tesla Model 3

I had to wake up early – around 5am – for the unveiling of the new Tesla Model 3 as I couldn’t wait to finally see an affordable version of a Tesla car. Finally just after watching Elon Musk`s presentation and seeing the first images of the Tesla Model 3 on the live videostream from the Tesla Designstudios in Hawthorne, Los Angeles, my decision was clear. I simply “had to” make a reservation as a design, gadget and technology maniac.

I have the feeling Elon Musk wrote automobile history today… in his speech he reported already 115.000 reservations in a  24h timeframe …wow. I`m thinking the Tesla “3” might gonna be ‘the iPhone’ of the car industry.

141 Women Portraits from the years 2006-2016

Just released another portfolio slideshow video today. Onefourone Women, a selection of 141 female portraits from the last ten years between 2006 and 2016. Those photos were mostly shot on iStockalypse Events or organized Minilypses. The selection and creation of the video alone is some sort of timemachine through the last 10 years of shooting portraits. If possible switch youtube to the HD format, to get the best quality of the video, and to view it full screen.


I`d like to thank and credit all the organisers of the iStockalypse and Minilypse Events in the last ten years. Without all their work and help those shootings would never have happened!

One Hundred Nights Video

Today I was in the mood to play around a bit in the early morning with some photos out of my Nightshot Photo Collection and rendered out a video slideshow. I named the video ‘One Hundred Nights’ as I quickly selected just exactly 100 photos out of all my Nightshots.

Just uploaded the clip to my freshly built Mlenny Photography Youtube Channel. So here you find approx. 4 min of nightshots from all around the world.

Those 100 shots were made in the following countries:

USA, Germany, Turkey, Mauritius, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Oman, Japan, Canada, India, United Kingdom, Italy, South Africa, Austria, Slovenia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Ireland, Greece, Russia, Morocco, Croatia, Taiwan, Myanmar in total from 27 different countries.

I`m sure you can name a lot of those locations and countries, maybe even all of them? Maybe next time I might make a game out of that idea :-)

In my enthusiasm I picked a bit too fast some shots in the 100 images selection this morning, as some countries & locations repeat too often for my taste…but whatever, it was a test..and I had a lot of fun building this slideshow video.

Hope you like it. And a ‘Happy Easter to all of you reading my blog!!’

Enjoy the long weekend searching for easter eggs and the longer daylight in the next months after switching your watches and towards summer daylight saving time.
