Ivana - the tigress. I met her at the friday - busstation and she was cold. I guess she decided to jump because she likes to move - she is a tennis coach. So here she goes. I really like the intensity of the look and must say, she seems to have alot of talent as a model - we did seven shots and were done. Wow.
Thank you for beeing my model today and hope your evening continued to get better.

Real life photography. Simon is sick after our exiting weekend with friends. He fell asleep on our couch. What you see is homeopathic medicine and our sick manikin, who comes out of the orange sickbox and helps cure sick children. Get well soon, Simon.
I remember well beeing sick as a child and it was a mixture of being looked after a bit more than usual and some special stuff (like extra comics or so) which were the pleasant side of it.
I have the permission to shoot him sleeping, so don't worry.

Light: 580EX with ¼ CTS, ¼ power, 24mm in a 60m gridded softbox, 80cm from his head, slightly higher than his head pointing down a bit and turned away from the couch, to make a contrasty picture,

Being quite tired (see yesterday) after talking, laughing and playing a lot at our friends house we walked over the fun fair today. My shoes were not warm enough, so a fire and wool socks (I almost never wear wool socks, just for art) can be a mans relief.

This shot was harder than a thaught it would be. It is a mixture of slow shutter and flash, me having my tripod on my stomach etc.

Räbeliechtliumzug - non translatable (turnip laterna procession). Pupils till secound class hollow out a turnip and carve ornaments into its skin. Then they stick a candle into it and the lid is held open with toothpics (see how they look like). They walk and sing after nightfall and get tea and a special bun at the end.
A nice possibility to make some pictures and this is our last Räbelichtliumzug - our kids are growing fast.

I had a little bit of to much words the last few days - I gave a solution oriented conversation technic seminar with a college during the last thee days and am quite outpowered now. So thats how I feel write now, words are mixed up in my picture reflecting my brains condition. No photoshop was used, it is kind of out of cam (some aperture work).
I used my 17-40 lens with a retro-adapter and shot through this prism, the words are in the random paper from under the prism (a paper flying around on my desk).

We went to the funfair today and the kids made me ride (specially Simon) the craziest rollercoasters and rides there were - and I was proud that I dared to go and Simon was glad I went with him… he wouldn't have gone allone. So we were 55m high in a ride called rocket hanging upside down, turning in circles, rotating horizontaly etc. - everything ok afterwords, I was just glad Simon didn't fly out his chair, because he just had managed to be the as tall as the requiered hight and I was quit wabbling around in my chair 55m above surface. I couldn't have helped him … fathers nightmare I guess.
I hope Lias won't have nightmares beacause he wanted to go on the ghost train. At the entrance I saw this ghost train employe eating a snac.
I had decided to give an effort to make a Iphone picture of the day, because a DSLR on a fair with children is no fun to hold on to (see text further up) - so I had to decide between this Hipstamatic (iphone app) picture, the ride in the blue hour or this artpiece. The picknick guy won.

Meet Blackyy, Marlin and two other gangmembers of "the block". They are 4 of 402 gangmembers. They want to learn how to fight and members from any culture are welcome. They showed me some secret signs (Blackyy is doing one here, I think it is their sign showing two pistols). They were fun to talk to. Different ages mix up in their group, these four for instance are between 13 and 19 years old.
I chose a rough b/w old style picture edit, because this gang theme evoked some old photo pictures in my head.
There is a funfair going on in town - you might see more of it in the next few days.
