Cechov & Köln

Yesterday I was at a great theater performance of the Acting School of Hamburg, they played several different Cechov scenes. I hadn't been at a theater for a pretty long time, so it was a very productive experience for me. Lots of exagerations, dramatic and absurd scenes of over 100 years ago which proved that humans have hardly changed and probably will not.

This weekend I'm off to Köln (Cologne) to visit friends and probably some museums too. Last time I was there I took this picture:


it represents society in a way

Wilhelmsburg through the cookie can #2





These pictures were taken about half a year ago with the little snow that fell (except the first one) in Wilhelmsburg, south of Hamburg. I just scanned them, that's why I'm putting them on the blog now. Well, I'm off to Kiel, enjoy your weekend!

boycott and a couple of artists

hi, sorry for the 2 weeks pause. i've been a little busy with the amazing weather, we had 28°C and no clouds and that's something you have to enjoy, specially here in hamburg.

at our art school we have decided to boycott the semester fees, the german regime decided to introduce, because they are unsocial and will most probably rise and rise. for more information go to http://www.hfbk.de

some artists i've found (and refound) i would like to share with you are:
  • roger ballen north american photographer living in south africa
and to end today's post one of my pictures related to our wonderful supervising system, what would we do without it? probably the same, so please don't let them bother you. but remember, big brother is watching you... it's amazing how some are frightened (of what i don't know) more and more, day by day. don't let insecurity get too far in your vains.

Wilhelmsburg through the cookie can







These are some camera obscura (pinhole) photographs i took this winter. The picture has a black round border which is created, because the hole is pretty close to the photographic paper which creates a wide angle.

There are more to come of the summer of course.

check out the body liquids stain.

that's one of the destinies animals have in cities or close to us

Queen's Day, Amsterdam





it was crazy, the biggest street party i've after the world cup here in germany and after the street parade in zürich.
on april 30th at least a million people celebrating queen beatrix' birthday in diferent parts of the city. all in all amsterdam is very nice, lots of small streets and canals, lots of bikes and nature. water is always a great element to have close.
