EDS is the solution

EDS stands for ‘Every Day Something’. Its great to be down and write about it and all of a sudden life is OK again, nearly great. The big change is the following: Go with the flow and don’t think too much about it. From now on I am going out without any idea, with my camera and take pictures of what I see. Sounds really random. And it is very random. Lets say its just an exercise to practice taking pictures. And its a good pressure on me taking pictures instead of sitting in my room and cry how bad life is. After walking around I get ideas anyways. Its a good opportunity to be out in this world. Beauty and Composition is not in foreground here. its just using the camera. Those pictures are not commented and getting explained only with a headline. Enjoy.

WHAT THE F… ?

What is happening here? I know exactly what is happening here: disillusion. Coming back from my trip, getting self employed with all my great great lovely pictures, send it to magazines and get work. hahaha. Fantastic how incredible dumb we can be in this world. This world I am living now has nothing to do with passion and ability. No .. its all about connection. And if you don’t know anybody in this little damn world, you are nobody. The great thing about this traveling is that you get kind of like the feeling to understand the world from its origin. What keeps people and societies together: love and trust. I can’t see this here in Hamburg. its all about doubting and so much looking at other people who behave strange. No acceptance. Of course I could do one thing I always used to do in the past in new countries, different people and all this: I just relax, accept how this world is, how people are and I am fine with the murders, the economists, the lawyers, the baggers and the elderly. The only difference here is, its my country, that’s where I am from and if I am going to run away now and start an easy life abroad, I will never make it. Its fantastic how you can find all this things like love and peace and trust along your journey while traveling and you come back where you feel home the most and you are far away from all these good feelings. So all I can do is fight. But this seems to be another circumstance I didn’t think of.  Not be a prostitute, to be free in your mind and do what you feel like (artist) works and it doesn’t work. As artists we need those gallery guys and art guys and all the nonsense talking people coming to your exhibition too. Otherwise nobody is going to buy it. So if you want to be a prostitute in an art world or in the business world, its up to you. I am glad I have a choice though. So in the end its all about the same thing: money. otherwise you can’t survive.

A new year has started but actually I don’t care. I am back in Hamburg and think about how to do it and I don’t think about it and just do. I have a wound on my finger and I thought about being a little bit more honest in future with my photography. More plain and maybe not. But actually I don’t want to change anything in my style. Just a little more honest. I don’t feel like writing so much. Happy 09.
