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.

'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!

may '20: seeking modernism.

super pink rhododendron buds emerging! i start off this post with some flower images to appreciate and praise the time of spring, especially the month of may, which is the most abundant spring month to me personally. all the blossoms, all the fresh greens amass during may, and my heart and mind are hardly ever able to not frolick & gush about it all! for this post i am returning to one walk i did with the sole purpose to find a special mid-century villa in königstein ( which would ultimately prove to be a failure - i did find it, but i couldn't approach it properly to have a good look at it and only ever saw a tiny bit of the garden/forest side ). the whole walk was not a letdown, though, as i did find some other mid-century & brutalism gems and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the old spa town in the taunus mountains. rhododendron shrubs yield all kinds of different blossoms in myriad colours, they are easy to breed, therefore a wide variety can be found all over the wor...

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 ...

the america chronicles '22: austin I - city of the violet crown.

sighted on the way to austin: the texas  colorado river . but beware, this is not the iconic colorado river ( 2.334 km long ) that has its source in the rocky mountains and confluences in the gulf of california, flowing through the grand canyon and other magnificent landscapes along the way, but this is texas' very own colorado river with a length of 1.387 km starting in the llano estacado plains in northwestern texas, and eventually ending up in the gulf of mexico at matagorda bay . why there are two colorado rivers in the US, i really don't know 😅 my guess is, that they were named by two people in different times, not knowing of the other's colorado river discovery. we'll meet the texas colorado river again in austin, so i will probably bestow more information on you eventually ;D a random road squirrel, also found on the way to austin. austin is about 187 miles ( 300 km ) away from baytown and is situated west from there in central texas. it sits at the foot of th...
