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.

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 ...
