If you drink too much alcohol, you get sloppy and might end up with a baby. True story, after several Margaritas I ended up with a Lensbaby. Kids, don’t drink and have a look at online shops. But the truth is, I’m very happy with my Lensbaby and we are inseparable.
With a lot of black and white film and two cameras I went to the Vienna Central Cemetery back in April. Aside from the Holga 120 I brought my Nikon F80 and a 50mm lens.
Not a day goes by without music and my playlists are filling up quickly these days: That’s on the turntables this summer when developing film, brooding over new projects or editing images.
One of the greatest benefits when living on the periphery is that you get the best of two worlds. In my case I really enjoy being close to the city and to the countryside. 15 minutes by tram to the heart of the town or 15 minutes by foot to the forest. A few weeks ago I packed my backpack, a selection of cameras and went to the woods.
Colorful murals on a grey day. This sums up my visit to the Mission District in San Francisco pretty good. On this rainy day, I loaded my little Nikon with some color film and braved the elements.
Back in April I spent a weekend in Vienna, visiting concerts and ticking off a thing that was on my bucket list for a very long time: roaming the Vienna Central Cemetery. Despite the fact that I lived in Vienna for 8 years, I never made it to this graveyard. Two things I learned during this stay in Vienna: Going to a festival all by myself is weird at the beginning but totally okay, and the second thing: Not visiting this cemetery while I had the chance for 8 f*cking years was a big mistake. But since I don’t dwell on the past, I’m looking forward to more visits in the future.
In February I spent some days in San Francisco and at the coast of Northern California. Most of the time the weather was really bad but overall it was another great trip to California. The color films are still not developed but I brought back some monochrome shots too. I wish I had more black and white film with me.
