magic moments / Discussions

there's something written in geman, but I'll try to say it in englsih:

I was standing at the window of the old cow stable, looking out.
Nothing has remained the way it was when I was still a child and even this old stable was meant to be taken away soon. the building has been ten person's home and now it was sold (or selled?) and this would be the last time for me to stand here.
I went away taking my memories with me .. and nobody would be able to steal them.

hm, I'd better go on writing in german. :-)))

Oh what a wonderful thing it would be you, dear Mona, to write the first chapter!! Thanks so much :))

I called this montage of mine "And every day is groundhog day" (well, in reference to that movie, which is probably misleading). I consider passage of time a precious thing and as long as we manage to flow and adapt and change that's just fine, but way too often things get pretty frozen, especially in human relationships, a fact I can state easily just walking around and watching couples how they treat each other. They often get so wrapped up in their mutual confinement that there definitely doesn't seem to be any space, air or exit around, but there always is, just as life keeps passing by ...

Everyday is everyday ;-)

yep, terrifyingly so if we can't keep alive and breathing fresh air everyday :))

I can´t hardly wait for integration of blog-entries, videos and other content...great idea!

Oh same here!!! The complete multimedial Xperience :)))

The sleeping humanoid worm ...



I love sneaking into construction and reconstruction sites, one of my obsessions, one I am sure many of you here are sharing with me. One saturday afternoon, when I was on my way to an old cinema I had not seen since before my emigration from Germany, I noticed this new, huge construction site and felt the inner voices calling immediately ... get inside ... GET INSIDE!!!

Well, it didn't really take much to enter the site, just "avoiding" one fence and voilá ... But to my disappointment it seemed a rather hyperorganized place with lots of order and structure in everything, so I was already about to leave it again, when my gaze fell on .... THIS FELLOW!! A resting and curled up humanoid construction worm, with his black jacket nicely hung up by the side of the scaffold. He had found a lovely, quiet spot with some sort of platform, like being made for an afternoon nap in the middle of a resting construction :) The more I kept looking at "him", the more I noticed humanoid features and a posture like that of resting children ;)
So I sat down there, just watching and trying to find the best position for a shot, all the while guarding "his" sweet slumber ...

Don't wake the worm, let it rest :D
