Your Girlfriend My Girlfriend

Waiting at Berlin Central Station for my country train I was fascinated by that teenie boy with a grumpy and dull expression on his face … his T-shirt expressing that everybody has a regular straight girlfriend except for him having one that looks like a photoshopped Bond-Girl every teenie boy dreams of, I giggled around and tried to take a photo without being spotted and beaten up, which was not easy because Mama and Papa, even grumpier, instinctively protected him and his shirt, which made me think about teenie boys in general and the uglier the more you need a trophy and does grumpiness come in genes and then my train came and I had waaaaay more horizon around me and immediately forgot about … err … what?

Thank you Gesine and Reiner for that relaxed beautiful late summer weekend we spent together in your little paradise!
(I found Darth Vader in birch leaves shadows on an umbrella … spooooky! 😉

Coffee, Coke, Wine, Berries, Vodka, Tea …

I’m possessed. By the idea of developing black&white films in an environment-friendly way. In a yummy way: using ingredients that you can find in your kitchen. Or at your local supermarket, for little money. Ingredients like instant coffee, red wine, tea, soda, vitamin c powder, vodka, lemons …

Here’s a three minute film that I developed in 5 different soups – the original negative version (later I digitized and reversed it to positive, it’s not yet online, come back later!!!)
