great piece of technology...

this is very likely to become a christmas present to myself:
may i introduce the Polaroid PoGo printer, which prints photos from digital cameras, mobile phones or computers everywhere without ink. and the best thing, it is not a lot bigger than a mobile phone itself and therefore easily portable.
but also the paper the printer uses is really cool. because you can use it in a very creative way even without the printer. by heating it, dropping acid on it or exposing it to pressure you can create different colors.

more infos about the printer: polaroid.com

work done with the zink paper: polanoid.net
(then go to projects, then select past project "zink o lution")

uh, i'm so excited and very, very looking forward to using it.

it ain't rubbish

scan of some stuff i found lying around... stripes made by turning on and off a desk lamp.

forthcoming long weekend.
i want do to some graphic work.
and prepare some christmas presents.
need some time for myself.
just lie around and think.

something new after a long break...

by the way... movie to watch: "Let's make Money!" by Erwin Wagenhofer

different...

this sunflower stood all alone in a cornfield
but it didn't care
don't be afraid of being different

what a mirror is good for...

website of the day.

polanoid.net

the website about itsself:

"We are building the biggest Polaroid-picture-collection of the planet to celebrate the magic of instant photography. So please seach your archives and attics and reactivate your Instant Cameras. This is the slamming comeback of Instant Photo Fun."

very very cool! had to instantly sign up and upload my polaroids. also read the descriptions in the "about" section... very worth reading!

you have your own shadow...

by the way, this is one of the first analog photos taken with my father's reflex camera

thinking...

brain is working... thinking... good stuff... got a special feeling again... projects are proceeding... everything is going on... i do... the world does aswell... i am looking for communication... inspiration... good times are rolling :).

new passion...

one last one...

one last year to finish school. one year until my a-levels. i think about how this year will be.
i set priorities. i want to stay calm. i am curious about what will happen during this year.
i am still in love with so much.

back home from balkan

just came back from a trip to the balkan. eight countries in six days.
slovenia, croatia, bosnia-herzegovina, serbia, kosovo, albania, macedonia, hungary.
saw a lot, learned a lot. kosovo is an independent country. good condition of streets is not self-evident.
if a country is poor it can't pollute the environment as much as a rich country can do.
time makes you wise...

what have you become?

tomato - ketchup

i started working on conceptual work. this is the first piece of a series about mutation.

mess oh yess...

new possibilities

my father lent me his reflex camera. "for a while" he said.
so there are now challenges like altered sharpness, to play with exposure, to manually set the focus...
uh i'm in love... and so curious about my first developed film.

a fairy tale

...is when you recognize that another person has had the same thought as you
...is when someone from the other side of the planet finds what you've written and has had the same thought before
...is when you inspire someone
...is a picture on your seat
...is the feeling of randomness
...is the feeling of being recognized
...is when you recognize that you've developed into the right direction
...is inspiring communication
...is the perfect moment
...is something happening that you haven't expected

well these are kinda "notes" for beatboxing. and i am trying to learn that...

Nutze die Talente, die du hast.
Die Wälder wären sehr still,
wenn nur die begabtesten Vögel sängen.

use the talents you have.
the woods would be very silent,
if only the most talented birds would sing.

Trip to Slovenia

this is me in slovenia two days ago. beautiful country. friendly people. marvellous landscape. defenitely worth seeing.

how concerts inspire me

i just came home from the "donaufestival" in krems
what i've seen there is so refreshing to my mind
it reminded me of what i wanted to focus on
it brought some "burried" ideas and goals to life again
the music thing... the art thing... the performance thing...
and the fact, that i've got to go for that on my own...
and not constantly look for someone who encourages me to do so
to just do it and believe in what i do
to regain some freedom, to not let me keep away from it

this festival contains so many stories... so many matching circumstances...

fashion issues

right now i'm confronted with fashion more often...

reason one: this week is our schools "fashion show week"
reason two: i was at vero moda, bought a cool new dress and got some fashion magazines
reason three: i discovered fashion blogs
reason four: i quit work on my coat i sewed at school

for pictures of one and four check out the latest pics on my flickr page

IN DIESEM MOMENT BEMERKST DU,
DASS ALLE UHREN ANFANGEN
RÜCKWÄRTS ZU LAUFEN.

in this moment you recognize,
that all clocks start to
go counterclockwise.

what to make of my photos

did some new photos today and edited a few i did in the past. i was thinking about what i could make of them... about doing collections... there are a lot of photos i'd like to share or to put in a special surrounding... i thought of a book... or poster prints... i'm curious about how this will turn out...

some tags about what the last days were all about...

working at kontiki

vienna

getting to know new people with brilliant minds

macbooks

enjoying urban life

stress

subways

thoughts about my relationship

sadness, desperation and tears

being the dj

shaking to music

missing my camera

doubts

getting a lot of money

thoughts about my education

on the road...

that is exactly the best expression for the past month
...on the road...
four new countries in three weeks
that is quite the opposite of my usual everyday life

travelling changes your mind
it makes you aware of what is going on in the world
it makes you think about your behaviours and habits
and it creates a million of new images and impressions in your mind

ps: photos of my journeys at flickr

currently in cambridge

so much happened the last few weeks... the trip to morrocco... all the stuff i experienced during these two weeks... then this language week here... i think my personality got a bit of a change... maybe i'll publish a report of my journeys... and of course photos...

boah, changes...

what those last seven days have done to me
or what i have experienced in those last seven days
is incredible
is unbelieveable

it went so fast...
my ideas of freedom changed...
my ideas of how to live relationships are deeply under doubts
it is like half a year happened in a week...

some kind of time compression
to be able to experience more
to have the time to experience all the things i want
and to maybe be able to fly one day...

Ob Sie denken, dass Sie es können,
oder ob Sie denken, dass Sie es nicht können -
in beiden Fällen haben Sie Recht...

Whether you think that you can
or that you can't
you are usually right.

again not stable

where are relationships developing to?
can relationships be a stable thing?
i don't think so, life is a constantly moving state
so why should relationships be

relationships are never defenite
you can move them up and down
you can keep contact up or down
and you can do this anytime you like

only the mirror can show you the color of your eyes

i want to see my own eyes in reality!

communication blockade...

i am not able to express all my thoughts through language
i need an universal way of communication that lets me place a thought into anothers mind
toghether with all the experiences that shaped my attitude
to give the other one exactly the same view of things that i have

randomphotoproject... expanding on bank notes

i will print photos of my collection
and write some words on the back
maybe i'll also mention a way to contact me
then i'll leave them on public places
trains, busses, stations, cafes, concerts,...
and maybe... someone will find it...
and be pleased about it... or hate it...
i wanna create a feeling in a person i don't know

my other idea was about bank notes
recently my mother got a 5 euro note
that had the words
"save me" "spend me" and a date
stamped on it
so i thought about spreading a message through money
to use this tool that is controlling humanity
for my goals and ideas i want to spread
and the thought of beating them at "their" own game
and it is again about creating a feeling in someone
and the possibility to once get back one of these bank notes
how small the world is...

the ice is melting...

the higher you climb... the deeper you fall

i try to climb... and to make a net... at the level i am now...

the route to go... to have it, yo!

again again... the feeling of being insecure caused a series of things i didn't wanted to happen... and apologizing also feels strange... only trying-to-be-understandable explaining is somehow a way out... gah... but away now...

today my second prom this year... and me a bit protesting against the clothing regulation... not coming around with a silk dress... dunno if i'll feel comfortable there, even with my comfortable outfit... maybe the last prom for a long time... except my own graduating prom of course... or hm... skipping that one would also have charm...

why didn't i go there?

am i creating a world that can only disappoint me? is this little second reality a house of glass? where am i moving? this little second seems like the eternal moment... gah... where has the enthusiasm gone? again expectations... synthetically created expectations...

i wanna go to a cosy, warm and light place... with you...

the same way...

If I undressed you in the day, would you still act the same way that you did in the dark?
Maybe we could save time that way. Maybe we could be done by nine.

If I just left you in the park, would you still walk home the same way like we did last year?
Or would you try to save time on the way home if I wasn't here?

All the dust I swept away yesterday just returns as I stare.
And one neighbor, he looks away as I walk by. Like you, he learns I'm not there.

On the drive out to the store, I trace your name out three times with my finger on my knee.
I pretend you sit beside me as we drive towards a day at the beach.

But all the rust on this old car falls away in the rain as I stare. I hear you say I have to change.
I can not change. Of course I turn and you're not there.

humans think out of the box?

all of our doing is just a mixture
our crazy little brains made of
what we perceive from around us
what we know because we experienced it and
what we know because someone told it to us
and maybe a bit of instinct...

little childrens eyes

is this freedom?

now i am not dependent on anyone... depending webspace... whatever will come around...
this is the new era... heij i like this!
