Kraut

I’m moving on. This is me on Tempelhofer Flugfeld Ex Airfield, great public park, gigantic recreation city area and lark breeding station! They sing!
I collected some herbs and made a very strong tea. Smelled like hay and summer. Added vitamin C and washing soda. Developed a piece of sheet film (black&white negative). Wow!

Coffee Workshop In Hamburg

I was invited to give a workshop at Hamburg Kurzfilmfestival last week!
A group of seven filmed super 8 black&white and we developed in yummy soup made of coffee, vitamin c and washing soda. The weather was so hot that we puddled happily outside in the yard. The result: fun and a bunch of very beautiful black&white negatives!
Here’s a link to the group film >>> X.

Get Well Soon, Heathcliff!

Berlin Theater Days, tonight a concert: Get Well Soon.
Before they came on stage they had like an introducer, like a warm up, one song loud like hell: Wuthering Heights from Kate Bush.
Goddess, how I love that song. How I loved it when I was 15 (and just reading the novel Wuthering Heights from that one Brontë sister Emily) and Kate B was 19.
Heathcliff, it’s me, Cathy, I’ve come home. I’m so cold, let me in-a-your windowhowhohow.
Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely, on the other side from you.
How could you leave me, When I needed to possess you? I hated you. I loved you, too.
Bad dreams in the night, You told me I was going to lose the fight, Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering, Wuthering Heights.
I’m coming back, love, cruel Heathcliff, my one dream, my only master.
Ooh! Let me have it. Let me grab your soul away. You know it’s me–Cathy!

I get the shivers!!!!!

Second Hand Shoes And Cats

I love to play tourist in my own neighborhood. Strolling along my streets. Today, Easter Saturday, a holiday, first day of summer … me and Khani having coffee, taking pictures (exploring my cookie pinhole camera, pictures will follow!), looking for shoes … there’s a musty but lovely second hand store on Adalbertrasse – two beautiful cats chilling in the sun, one from Ankara, the owner says, one from Berlin.
Khani found blue Adidas shoes for only 35 € and I took a picture. A perfect summer holiday moment.

Fatimas Hand Drawing

My world is gigantic and so small, all at once … I have passed by … so often … now I entered with my brother and his girlfriend … Fatimas Hand: a quiet beautiful bar in my Kietz / surrounding … so funny: me, entering, ordering wine, asking wine questions, hectically, all at once, and the bar tender woman projected a sympathico question mark in my eyes saying sorrymygermanisstillgrowing and I was like (how I love this I-was-like! Really!) ha, cool, no problem, repeating it all in remarkably fresh english … whatever: the white wine is Chardonnay, ice cold, very good, I love that bar, I love that atmosphere and I adore the drawing on the wall made by young artist Son-Of-The-Owner: we giggled our spring-longing asses off about (about?) the lovely 2-legged horse and the „Hodenschleudermann (untranslatable)“, heehee, keep on rockin‘!!

Altoid Pinhole Camera

I made a pinhole camera from an Altoid peppermint box. Tiny hole in the O. Inside anti reflex painted black. Put a piece of sheet film into the box, went to my neighbourhood Admiralbrücke / bridge and opened the lid I fixed over the little hole. Exposed it to the mild winter sunlight for one second.

This is what came out. The weirdest photo I ever took!
