I‘m in a pro-aging progress process snapper📷. @yorickcarroux #classicmodel #proaging #proagingmovement #omegaspeedmaster #menwithsilverhair

KARL and DONALD agree, and Pingo disagrees: I, the old hippie Pingo, added the last sentence to the following analysis by Yuval Noah Harari. „One of the main problems in the world today is the extremely cynical view of humanity that is spreading on both the right and the left. The view that all human interactions are, in fact, power struggles and all human institutions are merely conspiracies to seize power. Donald Trump and Karl Marx agree on this. That’s why I advocate for nature, which reflects love and compassion, because without it, our humanity would already have vanished in the ozone. #love #peace #compassion #trust #thegoodinpeople #positiveattitudealways #loveispowerful #fightfor #pingomagduschewski @pingoscolors

I think a man's manhood is measured by how much love he can spread, because while spreading it he becomes a protector of emotions and gentleness, he is attentive and conscious—- that's what it means to be a man. #pingoscolors #classicmodel #realmenarelovers #realmenaregentle #spreadlove

A Few Days in Hamburg I had a model/acting job in Hamburg. Arrived Monday, started with a fitting. My scene partner was a young Swedish ski freestyler and influencer living in Chamonix. I wasn’t playing the Sugar Daddy—maybe her dad or uncle, the story is still evolving. We chose the outfits Monday, shot on Tuesday—photos and video. I stayed at the Hood House in Winterhude, a beautiful neighborhood full of canals, willow trees, kayakers, and great little restaurants and shops you rarely find in big German cities anymore. I’d biked to Dortmund’s main station—1 euro a night to park there—and my e-bike will be waiting for the ride home on Wednesday. It’s about 12 kilometers uphill, but I love it, especially with this great weather (though I’d do it in the rain too). We shot in Othmarschen—a stunning suburb with brick villas, white or pale blue window frames, and gardens that aren’t overly manicured. There’s a certain charm in letting nature breathe a bit. The house and garden where we filmed were gorgeous. After the shoot, I had an amazing Korean dinner in Winterhude—just a selection of starters, my kind of food porn. This morning: a quick workout in the hotel gym and running the hotel stairs three times up and down (eight floors!). Plenty of movement today, especially with the walk to the station—4.5 km in sunshine, no need for a taxi when it’s this nice out. That walk through bridges and canals toward the Alster? One of the most beautiful in Hamburg. Honestly, in summer, is there a more beautiful city in Europe? Politically, too—this city gives me hope. No Söders or far-right clowns in charge here. Hamburg is red-green, more progressive. Sure, there are always a few bad apples in every party—but here, fewer of them. So yes—Hamburg, keep shining. You make Germany a little better. I’m doing my part too. #classicmodel #actorslife #longevity #overseventy #cityreport #ilovehamburg @pingoscolors @elbmodels

Sunday morning. Second day without rain. The world breathes a sigh of relief, green explodes in all shades, as if spring had finally found its way around. I leave the car, hop on my bike, twelve kilometers through awakening nature, birds orchestrate the soundtrack, my heart dances to the beat. Arrival. Breakfast with son Mike, daughter-in-law Loui, and twin grandchildren Bo and Oscar, whose laughter is the most beautiful morning light. Return. Sun on my face, wind at my back, gratitude in my luggage. #urbancycling #rideinstyle #familybreakfast #grandchildren #onelesscar #smellofspring #overseventy #longevity #pingomagduschewski @pingoscolors

Okay, here we go. In my post yesterday, I totally forgot to mention that my very first New York shooting – and there were several after that – only worked out because I had some solid Vitamin B (how do you say that in English…connections?). I had a contact at Osloh Bicycle Jeans, and they had a client in the East Village: Chari & Co., a bike shop. That’s where we brought all the bikes, which had arrived by plane – including a super complicated Dutch bike that had to be taken apart and reassembled, and the very first e-bike from Europe ever to be shot in New York City. Chari & Co. helped us so much with all of that. Sadly, the shop doesn’t exist anymore, but the brand is still around. The two Japanese founders moved back to Japan and, as you can see in the link below, are still stirring things up from over there. We also met Jeremy Santucci – a top male model and total bike freak – who jumped in for several shots and setups. It was a magical shoot, super bumpy, pretty clumsy at times, and it would’ve never worked without that amazing infrastructure. That setup also laid the foundation for a few more shoots I later did in NYC. So I just want to take a moment here to say thanks again @chariandconyc @osloh @jeremysantucci @yokosanada @pingoscolors #urbancycling #cyclinginnyc #rideinstyle #bicycles #bigapple #photoproduction #connection #grateful #urbandstreet #urbanjungle

15 years apart. Same passion. The first two pics: NYC, 2010. Me on a Volt e-bike (no idea if they even still exist). We naïvely packed those bikes—batteries and all—as checked baggage and flew to New York. Totally illegal. Luckily, no one at customs knew the rules either. Fun fact: We ended up sitting next to Leonardo DiCaprio at Café Gitane in SoHo. He actually talked to us—about the bike. True story. Fast forward to 2025: the last two pics show me riding through Düsseldorf on an Orbea Diem. The evolution of urban e-bikes since then? Unreal. If you’re still choosing your car over an e-bike—even on hills—you’re missing the point. I’m living the modern dream. And I want to keep living it as long as I can. Thanks for your attention. #classicmodel #rideinstyle #urbancycling #nyclife #ebike #ebikes #urbanebikes #overseventy #pingomagduschewski @pingoscolors

In the morning, I cycle to the brunch spot – fresh air, free thoughts. There, I find patatas bravas with a spicy, vegan sauce and a spicy tofu scramble with chives. Accompanied by an ice-cold passion fruit and mint lemonade. Pure enjoyment. This is modern life in 2025. #consciousness #cruelty_free #longevity #modernlife #2025 #overseventy #pingomagduschewski

A throwback to a time when I was still behind the camera – as a producer for bicycle shoots. And sometimes in front of it too… when an „older face“ was needed, I just put on the helmet myself. London, Abus helmets, Schindelhauer bikes, the best coffee on the Thames – and two freaks with so much bicycle chic it gave me goosebumps. What hardly anyone knows: That’s how I got into modeling in the first place. By chance. Helmet on.

These three photos just popped up on Instagram as a memory. Six years ago, I was still riding with a steel frame and rim brakes. I wonder if selling that beautiful bike was a mistake? #roadbike #moveyourbody #rideinstyle #longevity #icycle

Thinking is important for life, but language—a product of the mind, thus only a small part of our intelligence—is not sufficient to grasp everything. Greater intelligence operates beyond language, but we overestimate the mind and believe we can solve everything with it. According to Wittgenstein and Heidegger, language is like a dance—lively, ambiguous, and context-dependent. It doesn’t simply serve to convey clear communication, and it certainly can’t reliably prevent misunderstandings. We must be aware of this—because only then can we find ways to prevent wars and preserve peace. #heidegger #wittgenstein #méditation #meditationforkids #davidlynch #avoidmisscommunication #pingomagduschewski @pingoscolors snapper📷 @steve_brookland

It was about time the perpetrator finally returned to the scene of the crime — to the wooden bench. And there he is. #classicmodel #cyclechic #urbancycling #rideinstyle #overseventy #longevity #pingomagduschewski @pingoscolors
