Photographs

From now on I will be posting some of my favorite photos that I took over the years. This shit's got to get out there...

Soul Kitchen

Weeeeird!

When searching for pictures of baggy pants I stumbled upon an article with very strange content. You have to check it out. It has this picture in it:

Turkish Wedding

I'm way behind with the telling of the things I've been experiencing, so this is not really up to date, but I still wanted to share: I've been spontaneously invited to come to a turkish wedding - by strangers, who I had met on the bus. They seemed like nice normal Turkish boys, so I said yes and we went there one week later (this was actually December). I've never even been to a German wedding party, and then I got to go to a Turkish one - completely different culture! Sooo many people there!









I was totally doing that traditional dance with them... At least trying.



At some point the couple is standing there, their family and friends gather and then make presents: The bride gets jewelry made of gold clipped to her dress and the groom gets lots and lots of money onto his sash (well, I guess that helps to pay for the huge festivities).

A Fairy Tale

These are...

...the highlights of my day:

1. Something in the mail for me: NAPOLEON DYNAMITE DVD, which I just had ordered YESTERDAY! How quick was that!??!

2. "Your mother goes left in a Super Mario game..."

3. My flatmate gives me "a new Björk CD" (Volta). [I thought, I was quite the fan, but since I hadn't realized she HAD a new album, I guess that title is history.]

4. I bid sucessfully on an item I've been wanting to possess for quite some time:

Silly? I don't care :-D Happy-time in Knausiland.

And these are the lowlights of my day:

1. Cold feet
2. Migraine towards the evening and the two pills didn't even help, though they usually do.

That's it!

Here Comes Pure Beauty

I don't know if I am ever going to be a real blogger. I don't know what moods drive me to post and why I don't have them more often. But here you go. See and hear what gives me feelings these days. (It's really hard to go through pre-production of even just a short film - you have to concentrate and organize and you do all these things with your brain - there's hardy time to feel anything... at least that's how it works for me.)

I am a prostitute...

...at least in the new film by Fatih Akin, our favorite Turkish / German film director. That was a fricken' cold night!

Yay

Finally I am getting back into life, after a huge catastrophe that happened on the night of Halloween, when my sister's apartment burnt down. It is quite obvious, that she's struck by that way more than I could be, but still, the whole thing paralyzed me for quite some time. You don't know what to feel and what to think. Things you thought were important have to be reflected and new priorities are made.
I changed just a little bit. I decided to live more fully and I hope I can keep it up. Here are some pictures of Scott Matthew, who I went to see last night. My videos turned out very dark, so unfortunately I can't share with you how his beautiful voice filled the night.

Back to the Past

One shall never forget past passions - they can show us the way!
I went for a walk about a week ago, before it got really cold in Hamburg. And I was a bit lost, as so often, contemplating over what life is all about and stuff, when I stumbled upon this little creature. I didn't actually stumble, in that case the poor thing would have been dead. But this hairy catepillar totally made me travel back in time 20 years! When I was a kid I used to play with those all summer long! It made me very happy to watch them crawl around, I made small houses for them to live in and made them run races against each other (as a child I never thought it could be called torture... I WAS JUST PLAYING!) So getting back to these memories of the time of innocent and pure joy (I know, cheesy) was somehow comforting and made my day!

This and that

Well, unfortunately I didn't get to go to the Dan Johnston concert, it just wasn't meant to be. But I was wondering, what this shop window is supposed to tell me? Either somebody has a great sense of humor or they just ... have a great sense of humor. I can't think of another reason. Or does this make you wanna buy lingerie?

This is ... WOW!

We've been shown this film in class. Seriously, a tutor is doing a seminar for music documentary movies this semester (including bio pics and concert movies and everything). How perfect is that? THE DEVIL AND DANIEL JOHNSTON was our first film and it's really touching. I'm so glad Dan Johnston is playing in Hamburg soon. If I have money I'm definitely going!

If you haven't already seen it...

Watch the documentary "Working Man's Death". It's incredibly intense.

new music for me, for everyone

Oh, I'm so glad I discovered him, Scott Matthew. For a long while now I couldn't figure out, what music I wanted to listen to. I threw in a CD of the Foo Fighters or some other rocky band to motivate myself to do stuff, but now that I heard that, I realized, my heart was craving sth. completely different. And the best thing is: he's coming to play in Hamburg, December 9th!

I like!

Finally, after weeks and weeks of waiting and looking out for this sweater in the size I needed it to be! And now it is in MY possession! How small things can make us happy! Isn't the color just grand?
