#13 Karl, Beatrice & Mara [20.02.2012]
Today is Rose Monday, the day the annual carnival in Germany get climaxed, with its big street parade and parties where people dress up in different costumes. So i told myself why not go grab some fun?

You definetely think that i was using this event as a good opportunity to boost my project with a hell lot of strangers' photos. But i didn't do it and i won't do it. I brought exactly 3 model releases and no more. Why?
- The crucial point of this project: never taking photo of someone without talking to them. And do it 10 times in a row to what point?
- I won't let anything make me doing this project in a lazy way. Like i said, this whole thing is kind of once in a life time experience. Do you want to experience your life in a lazy way?

Anyhow, the street was so messy, that everyone seemed to get impatient and indifference hearing my hello-i-am-a-photographer-blah-blah-blah story.
But i managed it somehow and got what i want.
A big applause for Karl, Beatrice and their little daughter Mara.

Another shot of today.
I saw a lot of photographers today doing on-the-spot photo shoots. Mostly are Canonians, some guys used Pentax... but i didn't see any Nikonian.
Where were you hiding, Nikonians???

Back to him, Sebastian is a pro photographer who currently lives and works in Aachen. He is a pretty cool guy. Check out his Website: www.damon-pix.de

His gears FYI: 5DMkII + 24-105mm f/4 L

The last shot of rosen monday's quick run.
These junior high school kids are so young and have the long life that is waiting for them.
They are energetic, open-minded, ebullient and maybe superficial but well, we all have been there.
Mistakes have been made but it's normal to be screwed up because following your heart is easy, following your brain is tough.
AND THIS IS WHAT MAKES US HUMAN BEINGS.

Have a great and fulfilling life, Carlo & Jessica!

Bên này trẻ nó già sớm, nhưng đến một tuổi nhất định thì lại không già đi nữa, lúc đó lại trẻ hơn châu Á.

Florence and Giulia were doing some surveys for the 100'5 radio station when i saw them.
They seemed to be kinda busy so i waited, waited some more and then waited a little bit longer.
This work calls for patience, right?
Eventually i had a chance to talk to Giulia and told her about this stranger project. We talked about a bunch of stuff and such. Then came a few shots. After all i got off their back and let them finish their job.
Twenty so far and nine hundred eighty to go LOL!

I have a notebook named The Idea Book. Everytime i come up with an interesting idea for just anything (songs, photographic concepts, movies' review and such stuffs), i just start listing everything i can think of, even if it seems like crazy or most unthinkable.

And it does me some good, indeed.
Three weeks ago i came up with something new for the 1000 strangers project. Why on earth don't i start asking them some more questions? About love, life, death, people, meanings and goals of life... etc
Just want you guys know that i'm gonna do this next time. See ya.

The other day i went climbing the Drachenfels - the 321 metres mountain in the Siebengebirge mountain range between Königswinter and Bad Honnef together with a friend of mine. It took us about 2 hours with the regional express train from Aachen to get here.
It was just a day off for us and i didn't plan on having any stranger's photo but have some fun laughing at each other!

I had no idea what to expect, but I was amazed. The view was amazing if you know what i mean. The feeling of being on top of everything else. The wind howled. The fog was everywhere below me.
And they even suggested me to take a photo of them. So why not?

Spring has come back. The weather was so nice today so i went for a stroll round the town with some friends. And like always, i couldn't resist taking photos of some street artists. Life is just so simple, and simple is beautiful.

"Winter is over, the cold is gone,
Life is stirring anew
Instead of blowing drifting snow
There are diamonds in morning dew."

Photography can not be mass produced. And it should not be mass produced.
It is something unique in your heart which you then take out and share with others. Otherwise you'll end up doing something boring, cliché and uninspiring, let alone running out of idea.

Sometimes when I feel so uninspired, I just take a break away from photography and try not to think about it. Focus on some another hobbies for a while and don't force myself to return to it in a set time. The excitement of it typically gives me more energy and gets me more motivated.

It worked for me. Yesterday i was really in the mood for a quick photo stroll despite of the fact that all shops are closed or have restricted opening hours and people don't go out much on Good Friday.

Met Markus and Melina and they were far more friendly than i thought. Heard same old story: he lives in Aachen und she lives in Würzburg (Hell yeah, been there done that).

[1000 Strangers] #22 (27) Sebastian [06.04.2012]
As i mentioned before, i've started asking the strangers some more questions about his/her personal life with the motto: "We share because we care". This is my first tryout, but i hope that it's gonna get better and more interesting. So let the show begin.

Were you born in Aachen?
- No, i was born in 1992 in Eifel. Do you know where it is? [Yeah, i know it, i've been there twice]

I assume that you like music right? [Yeah, thank you Captain Obvious and he chuckled]
So what are your favorite bands/artists?
- Hmm, definitely Red Hot Chili Peppers. The bassist is just awesome. I also have a RHCP pin on my cap.

Okay. Which guitar do you play? Wanna go pro or just play for fun?
[And yes, I know it was another silly question and he chuckled again]
- I play bass. And nah, it's just my hobby.

What are you doing at the moment?
- I'm currently doing my major in History and Philosophy at RWTH Aachen University. Second semester so far.

[Showed him my strangers' photos] Which one do you love at first sight?
- This one. [typical music lover lol]

Okay, i'm gonna get off your back. Thank you for your time and have a good life, Bastian.
- Right back at you.
