durch sylt?

Zwei Boxkämpfer jagen Eva quer durch Sylt.

if you spend an unreasonable amount of time looking at fonts, like me, you may have seen this line before: it’s the german version of

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

a handy sentence that contains all of the primary letters of the (roman) alphabet, my question is this: does anybody know what it means? all answers on a postcard to the e-mail address on the left, many thanks in advance (if anyone can tell me of any other unusual/similar examples i’d also love to hear from you)

more than 1000 posters

"Almost everyday I take pictures of posters that catch my eye in the city of Amsterdam. Here are most of them. They start from somewhere in 2002 till now.Some are even more beautiful than the other. And others are just plain ugly. Mostly I try to avoid those. But sometimes they are fascinating in their own way."

if you haven’t seen it yet: this flickr set by my friend ‘jarr’ is an exhaustive record of amsterdam’s street posters, several of mine are featured, i hope those aren’t the ‘ugly’ ones he mentions…
