Welcome to Pollok Photography.

On these pages you'll find about 5,600 photos I took at various movie premieres, conventions, fan gatherings, nature trips and city explorations. I do like to take photos wherever I go and I also am passionate about photography in general. I am also a big movie and television show fan. At some point in my life I combined both et voila you have this website. The movie and television show listing you'll find in the celebrity photography section for now since I do not have enough data to open up their own respective pages.

Since I am close to anything water related and since I love to take pictures of those beautiful waters, I decided to support the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Of course you can simply make a donation at their website. ;-)

Latest Travel Report & Photos for Airial PhotographyBeing Brave - Airial Photos
What do you do, if you love travel but hate flight? You get brave. Start and Landing is the worst. Funnily enough I trust the technology but I don't believe in people's ability to be failure-less. So first thing I do I chat to anyone and everyone that happen to be in my closer surroundings. Poor lads and lasses. I can talk a mile a minute when scared. A huge life-saver when it comes to keep my sanity is my camera. You have no idea how many wing-shots of Boing's I have - the count goes into the hundreds. It keeps me busy and keeps my thoughts off of possible catastrophes.....

If you are looking for warmth, beaches and lazy leasure time, travelling Iceland is not for you. If you do look for calculated adventures, spectacular landscapes and the simple life, an Iceland travel is a must!....

Travel Photography: ScotlandBlame it to Billy Boyd - Scotland Photos & Travel Report
It is August 2002 and I need a massive break from work, a change of tapestry so to speak. Now a nature travel has always been a great stress reliever for me and thus it was natural to do exactly that; a travel to nature. But where to go? And most of all where to go to when you only have 10 days? This planet is simply too big to travel for one lifetime and my list of countries I haven't been to is a real long one. ....

Latest Event and Movie Premiere Reports with Photos:

Harry Potter stars for the first time at RingCon The Cursed 7th Year - Ring*Con 2008
Seven Ring*Cons - seven times attended. And although I didn't break a mirror or hadn't seen a black cat crossing my way this time was somehow fishy. My dilemma started on Thursday. Super, the con is at Bonn. You can be at the last minute without problem. As soon as I had arrived at Bonn and checked into the Maritim I discovered I had forgotten my Laptop. Okay, no problem, I only live an hour from here.. . The Charity dinner: What an atmosphere! The castle we were brought to is packed with antiquities, which, if your purse should allow, can be all bought. The dinner itself was also attended by Paul Norell, Brad Dourif, Jed Brophy and Lori Dungey. After I had chatted away with Paul Norell I now took my place opposite of Brad Dourif.. ....

Celebrity Photography:  David Duchovny at the X-Files Movie Premiere You okay? - X-Files I Want To Believe UK Movie Premiere
You okay, seemed to have been the catchphrase for the 48 hours of no sleep. 48 hours? Well, it wasn't planned that way. I flew to London on Tuesday evening and arrived around 9:30 pm at Leicester Square. My usual overnight accommodation was completely booked except for the dorms. Figuring I wouldn't get any sleep in a dorm I decided I could very well stay at the Square.. . This premiere was a really hard one to estimate. Usually you know beforehand how many fans may be there. This was the big question. As it turned out I was the only one staying overnight and thus I entertained myself with watching people.. ....

Celebrity Photography: Charlize  Theron & Will Smith at the Hancock Movie Premiere in Berlin Hancock to support German Team - Hancock Berlin Movie Premiere
was the motto of this premiere; at least according to presenter Kai Pflaume. Meant is the currently running European football (soccer) championship. Also meant was that the German team could really use some help. Although I'm not quite sure Mr. Pflaume knows about the film, it's quite obvious that Hancock might do more damage than good or maybe that is why he would exactly fit into the team.. . However, this was a good premiere from my point of view. Of course, there were the usual quarrels between fans and officials. "Can we stand here?" If you're first then you are first. Okay, thus we thought we could stand there. 2 hours before the premiere began. "Sorry, guys but you have all to come out of the box. You'll be let in again a bit later." "Just a few more seconds and you'll be let in." "Sorry guys, but this box probably won't be opened again. You have to move to the other side's box." Duh, the latter caused a stir-up, especially among the fans that had been queuing early and now feared to lose their good spots.. ....

Celebrity Chinese Horoscope Fun

What are you?

 

In the celebrity section you find now the Chinese sign, including the elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water for each of the celebrity, telling you a bit more about the celebrity. You can also look up your own Chinese Sign and match yourself with your favourite celebrity. Just don't take this too seriously. It's all in good fun and nothing more. A celebrity just like yourself cannot be totally categorized by a star sign.

This year is the year of the Earth-Rat (February 7, 2008 - January 25, 2009)

Also born under this sign:

Avery Brooks , Badja Djola , Barry Morrow , Bille August , Bonnie Bedelia, Chris Haywood, Christian Redl , Christopher Biggins, Clyde Kusatsu , David J. Burke , David Strathairn, Dianne Wiest, Dieter Kosslick, Dominique Sanda, Gerard Dépardieu, John Bear Curtis , John Belushi, John de Lancie , John Noble, Ken Foree , Michael Kamen , Michael Lembeck , Mike Moran , Ruben Blades , Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Haldeman , Tom Braidwood ,

I am a Wood-Dragon born in the month of the Ox:

This dragon is warm-hearted and devoted, extremely affable and friendly. He is the most artistic of his sign-brothers, the most creative and fussiest. He sometimes has his head in the clouds and is distracted, unless during work. He sometimes is a genius, a maniac or troublemaker. In general, he is peaceful, even kind, can get short and sudden fits of rage, however, and then becomes petty and malicious. However, he is not unforgiving at all.

People, born in the month of the Ox have it easier to push their qualities through in the world. They are less impressionable and not easily influenced. This also means they have to mould themselves. This willpower is usually very good for many signs, however occasionally it changes to a vice, namely into an exaggerated quest for dominance. The task of the people born in the month of the Ox is to strengthen their spirituality and not to refer too much to intellectual matters alone.
