winter blues und fernweh

These days I'm dreaming of traveling and sunshine... I'm longing so much to "just get out of here", for a few weeks, preferably a few months, go and live somewhere else, meet new people and experience new things. But most of all I'm longing for having the time to really dig deep into the things I love doing and connecting with myself and those pleasures again. Ah, that would be nice and healthy.

I went through all of the pictures I took during an amazing and super varied summer vacation last year. Those 3 weeks felt a lot longer since there were so many different stops on the way: The dOCUMENTA(13) in Kassel, seeing friends and family at home, spending some seriously chilled out days in a summerhouse at the Baltic Sea, and to top it off - 10 days in Crete, in the most surreal and fantastic little ex-hippie-town Matala. I really enjoyed not having a "city-holiday" for once, where so much is about visiting sights, shopping, going out, seeing a lot of people. Although I love seing new, big cities and new people - it's always very inspiring and so much input - I rarely find myself coming back from those exhausting trips and feeling refreshed, balanced and relaxed.
So I really enjoyed those days, having new places, things and people in small doses, and still having enough time to read a lot, sleep, draw, enjoy the nature, some art, and each other's company.

Guess that's also why I'm craving for a months-long-trip somewhere, and the experience to "live" there.

That record still makes me very happy!

Our Sarracenia ist now, after a summer on the balcony, much, much bigger! The screenprint is from Sanya Glisic, I love her work so much.

13 pictures from erfurt, langenwolschendorf, copenhagen, prague. and the highway.

do people get angry or flattered when i photograph their kids? according to my friend they most likely get angry. i'm always worried, while photographing strangers, that one may come and pull out the film from my camera, as i have seen it once happen to my friend in 6th grade (he photograhed a stinky ticket inspector, who was obviously unhappy with his job).

galerie 7b.

those ladies i watched at the train station in erfurt, cleaning their fruit/vegetable-stand after finishing their daily business, were incredible. quick, diligently, chatty, quirky. what is it like to work at a place like this your whole life? is it maybe even more comforting to have the same patterns of movement and interaction every day than it is boring - the thing that everyone is afraid of? they threw away perfectly good wraps. why didn't they take them home? is it not allowed, or are they maybe fed up with the food for a long time?
