photogenius #4.

i'm in the process of moving into a new home so you won't hear from me for another long time. ( i know i'm kind of barely here, but my wish is to somehow get good and fast internet access after i've moved and maybe then i try to post more regularly. )

meanwhile here's another installment of my most favourite photos found on the webz.


#1 freja beha erichsen & mathias lauridsen by steven meisel for vogue italia march 2010 - warning, these pictures are not really safe for work. i love these pictures for their dark and eerie atmosphere and the fact that it seems like a slavery relationship between freja and mathias. and still, they seem to comfort each other. steven meisel managed to capture facial expressions pretty good ( i have some kind of love/hate thing going on with steven meisel, sometimes he does outstanding photography and other times he just shoots pure garbage ).


#2 ash stymest & josh beech & adrien sahores by richard bush for numéro homme issue #19 2010 - black & white photography using shadows in a really wonderful way. these are some really good men shoots!


#3 kirsten dunst by mario testino for v #64 spring 2010 - kirsten dunst dressed and made up like a 20ies movie star = win. but only because of the 20ies movie star thing, haha. she looks really beautiful made up like this.


#4 rosie tupper by nicole bentley for vogue australia april 2010 - apparently nude colours seem to be en vogue these days. i didn't know what to think of this trend until now. wouldn't you want to run around in garments that make you look almost naked from far away? i'd love to see the stares coming from people until they'd have to realize that i actually wear clothes, haha. ( there are some yellow and blue bits thrown in here too, but i like to imagine the dresses on the black and white photos as pure nude colourness, so shhh... ). oh. and the model is GORGEOUSSSS...!


#5 freja beha erichsen by boo george for twin magazine - this is basically how i want to run around all day. freja has this androgynity thing going on, i somehow like that. girlboy-ish looks or boygirl-ish looks are pretty much my cup of tea. i don't like the typical girl nor do i like the typical guy. i want to be both, man and woman. is that strange?


#6 natasha poly by craig mcdean for vogue italy 2010 - i was never really into sport activities but this set of gorgeous pictures using geometrical elements really makes me think about doing some running or aerobics. in a dress of course.


#7 jonas kesseler by christian conti for uomo collezioni issue #70 s/s 2010 - this tutorial is called ' wired' and wired it is! jonas kesseler is covered in wires and it's damn sexy, if i can say so. if i'd be a guy i'd wear those clothes every day.


#8 guinevere van seenus by javier vallhonrat for vogue uk april 2010 - glitz, glitter, sparkles. do i have to say more to this?

this week's favourites:


brad bowers by hedi slimane for vogue hommes japan #4 - jesus, kiss, flower power. you think that is a terrible combination? let me tell you, it isn't! you'll get all these things in this beautiful set of pictures. i love you, hedi slimane.


lara stone by paolo roversi for vogue italy march 2010 - !!! this is almost all i have to say about this ingenious work. mr. roversi works with shadows appearing like wings, wolves, thorns etc. and so creates an outstanding effect! believe me. this is rightly called the week's favourite. i mean.. i haven't seen this technique before.


stella tennant, imogen morris clarke by tim walker for vogue italy march 2010 - the chosen king this week is mr. tim walker! his photography is like dreams come true! every picture is a scene of your most fantastical fantasies. this time he mixed up 16th/17th century costumes with theatrical environments. i can't choose a favourite! every picture is just so purely full of details and beauty, it almost makes me dizzy in the head.

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...

autumn impressions.

a selected assortment of autumn related things. ( or things that don't fit into a 'bigger picture' ) i will get around to posting my autumn vacation photos as well. my parents and me visited france a second time and i think it was almost as wonderful as the first time. but i'll get to that soon. moth in front of a vinyl shop window. i bet you know who's smile it is that strikes at you from the record. elvis! i went mushroom hunting again, this time with jasmin, the best mushroom finder i have :) but we didn't have a lot of time together this past autumn, i am very sad to admit this. she's one of our apprentices in the serving area in our market, but recently she's on exchange in a different outlet until january. but soon we'll have her back and our sporadic meetings will stop being sporadic. i think times like these make me realize that there's something worth living for. mostly my life is very grey and i'm so thankful to s...

of dragons & critters and yin & yang kittens.

my cat shadow is a very prolific cat and gives birth to baby sweethearts annually. we always let them grow up until they're old enough to be given away. growing up in a huge garden where they can roam around freely - isn't that the best way to grow up? it's always a joy to visit my parents and my cat in that time of the year. i have also included some pictures of a little rhine trip i made in the middle of may. and the occasional random ones that didn't fit somewhere.  rhine wood dragon. sitting on the rhine beach enjoying the beautiful day. my stone collection of the day. ( i seriously have a lot of stones in my home. i love to collect them! ) the river rhine near eltville. random skull assortment ( shot this at the naxoshalle in frankfurt - i was there for a japanese movie festival ) rosey roses. they also smelled heavenly. raindrops on my window. chameleon tail. i adore spirals. baby kittens drinking momma m...
