lausanne no. 2 - here we are now, entertain us

issue#9

We made it to Lausanne, where we were given a very warm welcome by Judith's host family.
After unpacking the car we left for the city.

Waiting for the "Fünli", a cable railway, Anna did some portraits of Judith. Again: Taking pictures of people taking pictures equals laaaaame.


Anna is happy and so is the rest of us.


Christian's a sexy beast.


Judith couldn't agree less.


Petît Judith all alone in Switzerland. =)


Time for portraits.



Self-imported beer on the green carpet in the city.


".. you know?"


Lausanne.


Finishing our last beers on the street before we dug into the expensive but kind of cool nightlife of Lausanne.


She was glad we came by, and so were we!


Anna.


Another day we drove to the lake of Geneva.


Christian by the lake.




Anne-kathrin in the parking garage.


We decided for dinner in a mexican spot.. It reminded me a bit of the Titty Twister ( From Dusk till Dawn ) ;-).


Time for 50mm Portraits again...



After the mexican place we spent some in a bar outdoors.. Judith was undecisive considering her drink.


After a long day we said good night one last time before leaving for Germany. So long Judith, we'll meet again this August :-)

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.

when you're in rome... pt. 2

issue#6

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 !
