lausanne no. 1 - the road to ...

issue#8

anna, christian, anne-kathrin and me wanted to visit our friend Judith in her current home. So we packed our things into my car and hit the road. Pictures taken with my Nikon F80.

insert key. start engine. roll with it.


asphalt is streaming by under the wheels.


anna took the classic car-mirror shot.


break. cigarette. coffee, catch some air.





driving + taking pictures = difficult task.


taking pictures of people taking pictures of you, probably the definition of lame.


six.


spontanous child-like outbreak of affection.


"now what are YOU looking at?"


there's nothing as pure as the laughter of an innocent young child.

... to be continued.

part two of the pictures i made in rome. greetings to everybody who was part of this trip!
Mr. Roboto loves you.


The next morning we took our time with breakfast and didn't focus that much on sightseeing but more on, well, just walking the streets and get a feeling for the city. By "we" i mean Michi & Christian, awesome day, wasn't it?


Random house.


Christian's re-enactment of Rocky.


Last Boy Scout.


The brain-trust thinks about how to end world hunger.


We met Annie Leibovitz!


Random lady on the street.


We LOVE Luis Vuitton. The bags are SO classy, and the price is justified by the great quality ! Can't get enough of LV !

Christian continues his crusade with the aim to establish us as the uber-Tourists to the roman public.


Another roman lady..


When we returned home, Marlene was already busy kissing Christian's ass. meta-wise.


Michi, keeper of the iPod.


We were all a bit tired the last evening, i even was too lazy to take any more pictures of our last room-gathering.


we got up a bit earlier than usally to have our coffee outside of the hotel, in a classic roman bar, drinking our awesome capuccino standing up.


Felix stayed in bed and remained with a more... russian way of breakfast. Namely, ABSOLUT breakfast.


Christian walking down this stairs the last time.


Christian after we were informed that our flight was cancelled ( DAMN YOU, RYANAIR !!!) and we had to spent decent 16 hours at the airport till we could fly.


... so we resorted to the most reliable thing which comes in handy when men are in trouble. beer.


..or sleep.


last picture i took before i fell asleep in the arrival terminal of the worst airport in Europe ( this time for real!). Lying on all my clothes i brought along, some wet towels and my camera bag wrapped around me, so nobody would could steal something without waking me up and so risking to get his heart torn out. yes, i'm bad-tempered. especially lying down on the floor in a cold arrival terminal of a fucked up airport.


gooooooooooood moooooooooorning !!!!! This was already in the check-in line for our flight.
That's it. we got on it, flew home, got a ride to our homes, fell into our beds with a lot of memories and a raised risk of liver cirrhosis. Cheers !

issue#5

last month i attended a very special journey. Nine students, two teachers, four days, one city. Namely, rome. To end our personal journey through the endless years of school we decided to spend a good time together in this very KICKASSy city.

Felix is eager to leave Germany to avoid further trouble with the government.


Welcome to the worst airport in Europe.. or so we thought. Frankfurt Hahn.


Christian during our wait in Hahn.


Hanna ( more or less the person who organized.. er.. well.. most of the trip ) on the bus from the airport in rome to the city and our hotel.


After our arrival at the beautiful "hotel" Casali, Felix instantly made himself ready for going out.. the orginal quote was: "I've brought along a very fine fragrance."

The first even was only documented on awesome portra film.. coming up.

A couple of hours later we returned from the "Druid's Rock" to our room.. Felix had some patriotic fantasies going on.


After spending most of the night in our beds, tired and happy we got up the next morning for .. well..


SIGHTSEEING !
"hey ! we didn't visit that church yet!"


one of a thousand...


Hanna and Dr. Sasse planning the route of the day.


Christian, with awesome flare...


Christian and Michi beeing the coolest persons all around the.. well.. rotten, old... thing.


Felix likes to cross the frame.


Marlene had some problems with her well-shaped, beautiful feet. Felix sticked around to make sure she's okay.


a streetlamp in front of some random building.. must be some kind of stadium...


Later that afternoon we witnessed an alien landing.. quite impressive those landing ships...


We lost Dr. Sasse in some catacombs.. but we decided not to go back and get him but to just wait 'till he finds out by himself. Didn't work out very good...


Marlene wearing some super-awesome shades.



Hanna in the colosseum


Christian enjoys beeing a tourist.


Some weird ladies were stalking me and taking pictures of me... i was really afraid !



Dr. Sasse is a true hero. why? Because he managed to get us tickets for the colosseum AND the palatin. Don't you get it? that's like... SUPER-AWESOME! no seriously, he was proud like a king ... but didn't tell us what he had to do / say to get these tickets. There's definitely some kind of dark secret..


Please allow me to introduce myself, i'm a man of wealth and taste. I've been around for a long long year, stole many a man's soul and faith. Sympathy for Mr. Franken?


Another wait.. this time Mr. Franken insisted on spending some time in the pantheon..



I was the first one to return to our room, so i enjoyed the privilege of actually having some time all for myself.. so i did what every male guy of my age would have done...


...namely: listening to some good music, having a snack, crossreading a mag, having an ice-cold local beer.


After dinner we gathered again in our room for drinks.


Mr. Franken and Christian in deep thought.


Well, that's more like it. Annika singing along to Prodigy. heellllooo? There are more fitting songs to sing-along to, aren't there? Well, whatever, nice scene.


Woah.. again a rather serious picture.. cannot be !


What the hell..? Michi in a very melancholic pose..


Maren and Annika did something.. stupid, which resulted in both of them falling of the bed.








Marlene and Hanna.


this extends my personal definition of "mad dancing"!.








Cheerio, Mrs. Sophie! Marlene on her way to.. well.. losing it a bit.. :)


Felix still is able to at least LOOK sober.


Christian is gettin very... enthusiastic these hours.





the last picture of this night, we fell into our beds way later.. at 5:something AM.. and got up for Sightseeing again the next morning. Some of us. Not me. :)
