Just the look out my window.

… made from rose hips / Hagebutten!
I love the German word Hagebutte! “Entstanden aus den mittelhochdeutschen Begriffen hagen ‚Dornbusch‘ und butte ‚rundlicher Gegenstand‘ / Originating from the Middle High German terms hagen ‘thorn bush’ and butte ‘roundish object” … says Wiki. Dornbuschrundling! 😀
I made juice to develop some positive prints.
That’s all for this week, autumn cold winds blew into my neck and gave me a little cold. I slow down.
Hatschi / Atishoo!




Here I am, nailing another freshly developed pinhole photo on the wall!

A short film that I shot recently in South Italy is now ready to be edited … Just one roll of this lovely Kodak Vision 50 material – wonderful colours, tiny grain – here are some snippets:




How can I translate “lungern”?
Jessica smokes and says something about “man muss mehr rumlungern”, I love this picture (it’s in my upcoming June film).
Loafing? Hanging around? Loitering?

And this is what happened in Austria recently:
For days now it has been raining permanently night and day and snowing 100 m higher …
I am here in the wetlands haha part of a small family-like minifestival (called »Enchanted Garden«) giving a workshop. All was supposed to happen outside in the huge natural park called »Gesäuse« but all is now happening inside … feeling sorry for the festival but people are in a good mood (we’re talking about 15 people, not more, it’s really nice and tiny).
How can I translate »Gesäuse«? Something making a whispering sound like the running water of the river, of the falling rain, of the wind in the leaves …
We’re filming in a small group, just 6 people and me, developing in a soup of what nature gives us. Cheers!
You can see some results here on YouTube!






On my way (train) to Austria. Temperature fall-down from over 25 to under 10 degrees …
Where am I heading to? I will write about it the next days when I find some time …

Outch! But I love it!

The workshop films have been digitized (for preview only, bad quality. Better versions later …)
Two snippets:


Developing the freshly made pinhole photos in caffenol! Here are the first results:



Oh Bocchigliero, you hot village in tropical Calabria! We were sweating like hell in this workshop … filming and making a unique developing soup that we called “Bocchiglierol” … successfully developed a film with it!!!









Strolling through the village in the midday heat making pinhole photos!




Bocchigliero, a little village on a hill in the middle of Calabria.


(I can’t get enough of those beach pictures!!)
The bus never comes …

A bench for lovers!


Paola, Calabria



Bologna.
What is a pizzium? An element?

The Dance Trees Of Heaven’s Gate
New film at the horizon! I am about to edit it … speaking and singing voice over …
Watch some snippet gifs:




I’m doing some simple animation with cut out papers. For my next film!!


A dragonfly. A special place. A story behind. Which I am not telling here 🙂
I love my TinType app!



I have a preview scanner at home … here comes a little scene from my upcoming June film!!



A mini workshop in Köln: developing one roll of super 8 Kodachrome in Caffenol, 32 people watching, joining, helping … and then we hung it to dry all the way down the staircase of the Kölner Filmhaus!
The customer toilet is currently broken.
I don’t know why I like this picture so much but I just have to laugh.

(seen at REWE supermarket in Hamburg)
I filmed each and every day of my beloved month June.
This is #10 in my kitchen: preparing a veggie soup (for developing!)
And #12 … where was it? Ute’s kitchen I think!


Hello goodbye Hildesheim, Köln, Hamburg, Bremen!
June is over now and I am still dizzy.
