the chronicles of a low-life: Juni 2008

issue #28

continuing... more fresh frames. actually this post will be kinda rushed, it's 2AM and I'm downloading 2,5GB new scans and I reeely want to try keep up with this blog for the 5-10 people reading it =)

So here we go.

Dürkheim, Stadtfest, Judith.

Judith and Robin.. aaw hard light >.<.

Graf likes to indulge himself... most likely with booze.

Hanna, die Unschuld vom Lande. ('the innoscent girl from the countryside" O_o)

Phil, beeing the adorable Sunnyboy he wants as all to believe he actually is.

Another day, drinkin at Art's.. kinda forget the occasion for this gathering of lonely souls seeking warmth.. oh geez it's getting late.

ZAUBERMICHA!! his shirt actually reads "/*no comment*/" ...

At the Finissage of our exhibition in some citybuilding.. pretty crappy, well, free juice and snacks.

Ergin, Anna, the back of Sarah's head.

Damian beeing most obviously just waaaaaay too cool for school. Would guess something in in between indierockstar and professional assasin. Well who knows..? :-O

And we're back in Hannover.. those +2 and +3 rolls seem to have always the fate of travelling through the camera for several times. Meet Milena, found her via couchsurfing.org because I needed a place to stay for the night before the entry exam in Hannover. Thanks for showing me around and taking my tension by talking non-stop. ;-)

in the underground... didn't stand on a chair or so, she's actually that 'petite'.

... and has some superweird glasses. selfportrait before going to bed.

Visited Tobman at work, pay some respect to his professional graphic-tablet-OS-controlling.

Had some chinese on a parking-deck roof. Soooo urban. Looks kinda trainspotting.

Later that day.. Mum gave me her car on the premise that I'd run it through the washing bay, so I did.

Back at my mother's house the sister prepared some delicious cake.

Is it coz' I'm cool?

Grampa turned 70, so everybody put on a tie. aunt, uncle, aunt's husband.

joyful celebration.

"EEEH MAN MUSS VIEEL MEHR GRUPPENFOTOS MACHEN!!" as Michi says... Well, here is one.

One boring Wednesday. So I called upon le Koni and we met at the lake for beer.

"Dylan ist Kafka!"

aawww.. the good life.

Lake stillife.. Does that qualify as a still-life? there's a duckie in it. And I didn't actually arrange all that by myself. God did. Let us pray.

Harr, some guys from Russia/random eastern european country ( NO OFFENSE, just can't keep the languages from each other, it's just all the same un-civilized jabberwocky.. on second thought: HELL YES OFFENSE!) decided to take a bath next to our spot.. They asked me if I could take a picture of them and show them on Koni's Macbook afterwards ("Entschuldige Sie, Kannschd du Fotooh machen von uuns und zeige auf Läptop?"). Yeah right. Just let me attach my W-LAN Transmitter to the FM2 and synch it..

HA! Now if that ain't a still-life my name shall not be Buzz Killington!

Koni ripped on me for my flowery towel. Do I deserve that? I do not.

Cool bikes and white laptop of unknown brand.

The other day in Koni's garden.. Meet Annika and Pongo. Pongo's the dog.

ordered shot from Annika.

Koni is beeing handed the telephone.

The other day in school, michi.

Shot some commercial shots (digitally of course(!way cooler!), just hooked up the FM2 to the flashes to get the last frame of the roll filled) in the studio. Mulu posing.

Aww, 2:30 that's it. Off Topic: If you need some good-ol' fashioned Hiphop to keep you going in late hours such as these, go out and buy "Center of Attention" by Pete Rock & InI ! Seriously, do it.

Going to bed.
take care,
f.

issue #28

long time no post, i'm like 30 rolls behind or something and right now i'm feeling the sundayish aftereffects of a week and a week-end of leisure. so there's really nothing left to do than just kick it back a notch, watch the big lebowski for the 16th time or so and wait for sleepytime. Quite some "new shit came to light" as the dude would say, but who am I to bore you with my blahing, so here we go, pictures, dude.

Sarah at the FH in Dortmund, waiting to get our portfolios back.

Another beautiful morning in Mainz with Robin and Co. I just love the kitchen wall's colour.

Judith rather serious, not a real morning person I guess.

Judith's adorable curls.

Anna was around as well, doing her best to look like some squirrel or something.

minimal, retro, stylized, more random words.

the view out of the kitchen window, mainzer dom.

reeflection yummy.

"my mother said, to get things done, you'd better not mess with Major Tom.."

smiley faces + finger on the lens, very professional.

LATER, BACK AT THE LEAGUE'S SECRET HEADQUARTERS!!!

red-wine-eyed.

the camera seems to has been drinking as well.

The next morning. Robin decided to hide behind some pathetic artsy vinyl sheet.. what a show-off.

On my way home I stopped here, felt like capturing this lovely landscape.

Dropped my car by the garage, needed some serious fixing so I walked home.

Another day, a sunny one, YAY. Met up with Graf and some other equally hot chicks somewhere by the rhine in Mannheim.

random grass close-up.

as mentioned above, it was kinda sunny.

Jan shows his scars from 'Nam.

YAY for not beeing able to focus properly.

some feet, belonging to Tobe I think.

another random close-up.

Tobe from K'Lautern.

Stadtfest Bad Dürkheim, meet Marlene and out-of-focus Hanna.

Robin returned from one of his quests, namely acquiring every singly piece of vinyl the peddlar's market in DÜW had to offer.

It was my half-sister's 15th birthday, so I hurled my other half-sister into the car and brought her along to the family gathering at my mother's house.

After beeing bribed with cake, she stopped complaining.

Mother and birthdaysister, like how they have eye-contact.

Aunt Annette and lil cousin Anna doing some math homework.. both rather clueless.

I really like that one.

Carlo & Grampa.

Way home. Some traffic lights are just insulting.. after looking at the red light for two minutes or so I got bored and started to take pictures of Sophie strapped in her safety seat.

Another day, this time in Berlin. Again, Sophie beeing as cute as cute gets. It was my cousin's confirmation.

Sophie, again.

There we are... Constanze, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

men.

I strolled around the neighbourhood and took some terrible boring shots.

The other day, downtown this time.. Visited a friend to give him a my CL which needed some fixing.. luckily he has some very good Leica contacts :-)

Strolling around in the city like a homeless dog.

I shall call this... deconstructing Berlin.

In the S-Bahn, the city rushing by...

"Da geehnse grad vorne umme ecke un dann rechts, wa?"

Somewhere around Alexanderplatz.

Back at home, we met up in my kitchen for some beer, whine, etc.. Graf and Robin getting touchy.

"Ah, Le roi des indiscrets!"

Phil piloting the Mac while Graf took some time to think...

Another day, Mainz again. Anna Banana, yummy yummy.

Anna aka the coffee-queen.

Took a second one without Phil f**** up my background.

just some good ol' fashioned fun...

Judith going through some digital imaginary on the naikoon.

Anna on the phone.. SO to lazy to clean these scans, sorry.

We had an awful lot of home-made Sushi... Tip of the hat to Maître Robin.

Before hitting the town Anna showed her sad-serious face.

Welcome to Hannover. Entry exam for photography at the FH. Markus was quite joyful the whole time and didn't show any sign of stress or struggling or whatsoever.. enviable somehow.

Number 57 at work.. Thank God for the noble discipline of mashups..

After the battle...

Waiting for results. Got in, yay.

The other day, driving around for some photo-project of Anna.. She wasn't satisfied with the location I proposed.. obviously.

Christian's film was shown at a young movie video clip award thingy in Mannheim, so we all put on some bad-ass cool sunglasses and stopped by. Graf, Vera, Phil.
