photogenius # 2.

i'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, for not updating at all.
i bet you're sick hearing that work is a full-time-job for me as of now, and all i want to do when coming home is having a huge portion of sleep. my car is is broke now ( oh, it's just the engine... AGAIN! ) and i don't really have time to search after appartements and my mind is also fucking me. yeah. there are days where i like to put an end to everything, where i think i should close my eyes shut forever. but inside me, the tough mari is still in hope of better times to come.

what a way to start this week's photogenius-theme.



# james meakin photography - rich colours, inspirations from traditional clothings all around the world. i love james meakin's whimsical view of fashion.



# natasha poly by glen luchford for V # 63 january/february 2010 - natasha poly makes tousled hair look good. and i don't have to feel guilty anymore when my hair is unkempt for a day, haha. and it isn't really the clothes that took my heart but exactly how she wears her hair ( even though the crazy mix of clothes is still interesting to look at. )



# sasha pivarova by mario testino - this little set is all about childhood memories. yeah. sasha pretty much has that child thing going on, with these innocent blue eyes and the surroundings full of childhood dreams ( i.e. rocking horse, adventure in the forests, dressing up in too huge boots and clothes ). i absolutely adore this shoot!



# lily cole by carter smith for vogue nippon march 2006 - and while we're at the innocence thing, lily cole is just innocence in perfection!



# shu pei qin, patricia v, jenny sinkaberg by dan jackson for vogue china february 2010 - the colour white is the main aspect here and it's really wonderful! i love that clean look a lot. also... those clothes have this kind of charlie-chaplin-feel to it, with the oversizing and overall trampy look. and this eye-makeup! i really should try out white next time i'm going out.



# mathias lauridsen by camilla akrans for numéro homme #18 fall/winter 2010 - there's such a rockabilly feeling here! i love these portraits. mathias lauridsen is one really fine guy.



# juliette lewis by skingraft designs for s magazine - first: JULIETTE LEWIS! second: pegasus head wear! this shoot is SOO rad!



# peter lindbergh's black & white variations - a lot of well know people are photographed here ( hello mrs. swinton & lady barkin! ). and in the most beautiful way! very melancholic and blue.



# the unbelievably lovely faery wedding ( found on kissthegroom.com ) - what a fantastic way to marry each other! when i say its faery wonderland IT IS faery wonderland! absolute faerytastic!


the week's most adored:

1.

karl lagerfeld's interpretation of metropolis ( the movie from 1927 ) made me speechless. i need to rewatch the movie now, i'm CRAVING to rewatch, to be more exact. i mean... that toni garrn person is totally personating brigitte helm. totally! ( oh watch out that sentence right there. that person is personating? yeah. ) and baptiste giabiconi is... personating nick cave then? but he's still rad in these photos.

2.


'a balletic performance showcases spring fashion's raw edges and powdery textures' by ben toms for dazed & confused february 2010 - what a title! but it contains everything you'll find in the set! ballet references, powder, flakey, homeless and sharp clothings! plus the creepy ballerina effect!

november: kickelhahn, himmelblau & weimar cemetery.

i had a week off in november and visited my parents ( as i often do on my vacations ). on a sunday morning we headed to the thuringian forest to climb onto the peak of the kickelhahn mountain. the kickelhahn mountain is the landmark mountain of the city of ilmenau . johann wolfgang von goethe , the famous writer & philosopher, often visited ilmenau and also climbed the kickelhahn. oftentimes he stopped at a little hut in the woods to relax for a while and on one of these stops he wrote one of his most known poems.  our little adventure didn't last the whole day, though, as we had a little date with the weimar cemetery to look after the grave of my grandparents and then to visit my cousin and his family. tiny peek onto the kickelhahn tower. thuringian woods - deep dark green. at the goethe hut. this plate shows the german version of the poem goethe wrote here. inside the hut. and here's the english translation. i love this poem so much, as ...

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...
