Do You Really Want to Know How PURE Is Built?
When you hear about an agency, everything is usually already in place. Ours is starting over, and I'm asking you openly whether you'd like to be part of it.
What an Applicant Does When She Thinks I'm Not Looking
Two new ladies are coming to meet me this evening, and I chose the combination on purpose. Why, I'll tell you tomorrow.

That line appears in almost every first enquiry. Why I like reading it, and what it tells me about a man before he has even named a date.
Between the Market Square and the Water Tower: Mannheim as I Like It

Patrice appears on PURE for the first time. Her photos are online, and anyone who has read her piece "Bevor es klingelt" will recognise her at once.
Two Hours Without My Phone at the Caracalla Therme
After a long week I treated myself to an afternoon in Baden-Baden: warm water, no phone, nobody wanting anything from me. Why the Caracalla Therme is my quietest luxury.
