[1000 Strangers] #23 (28) Peter by Dr ‧ House (Nguyen Anh Tu), on Flickr

It's been 4 months since the last photo came out. Man, i really miss this project.

Sometimes when people study so much for exams that we honestly don't know what to do afterwards. It is weird to get rid of that proactive, worky mood, right?
Or just rest up and get ready for the next batch?

However, it was the kind of semester that left me drained and exhausted. It really did me in. So i decided to come up for air and had a short trip to The Hague/Holland last week. A 3-Day trip with my girlfriend. It sounds just plain good, plus i felt that i will get a new piece for my project.

I met Peter in early afternoon at Grote Mark while working on a "Cupcake Mission". He came across as a very keen and enthusiastic man. And i simply love enthusiastic people!
Enthusiasm offers that special light coming from inside, the wonderful spark seen in their eyes and the glow on their face. See them and you dare to think everything is possible, you can do it, you can achieve your dream!

This is just the very beginning of a long journey. Everything is difficult at first. But you will learn to cope. You have to discover your true potential and when you realise the power you have, you will make a difference. At least you are trying your best.

The difficulties at the beginning are too great for some persons. They get stuck and never find their way out; they fold their hands and give up the struggle. You are not giving in. But you couldn't follow your nature instinct either, at least when we humans have our natural instincts modified by civilization and by culture. In short, if a man tries to hunt in a strange forest and has no guide, he loses his way.

When things get hard, i tend to not try to force advance but must pause and take thought. However, nothing should put me off my course; i have to persevere and constantly keep the
goal in sight. Step by step.

By the way, i had a good stroll today. Took me a good solid 2 hours.

They are the silent heroes.
All the volunteers, engineers, photographers, journalists, doctors, environmentalist, humanitarians and so on, who make the world a better place.

Felix has been working for the SOS Children's Villages for 3 years.
SOS Children's Villages is an independent, non-governmental international development organisation which has been working to meet the needs and protect the interests and rights of children since 1949. It was founded by Dr. Hermann Gmeiner in Imst, Austria.

The organization's work focuses on abandoned, destitute and orphaned children requiring family-based child care. Millions of children worldwide are living without their biological families for a variety of reasons including: parental separation, domestic violence and neglect, they have lost their parents due to war or natural catastrophes, disease - including, increasingly, AIDS.

Since April 2009, the SOS Children's Villages has started the information booths in various German cities. Take a look at their website: http://www.sos-kinderdoerfer.de/informationen/aktuelles/aktionen/pages/starke-freunde.aspx and give a hand! Even little things can help a lot.

A tribute to the real human beings and true heroes. Thank you Felix, thank you guys.

[1000 Strangers] #26 (31) Lorena by Dr ‧ House (Nguyen Anh Tu), on Flickr
Getting a "Yes" from a young girl is not hard as you think. Indeed it's quite easy and it makes a lot of fun. They are young. They are open-minded. They are energetic. They are not shy and they are confident. They really like to get involved and active when presented with challenges.

Lorena is 19 years old and what can you say about some 18,19 years old girls with one sentence? It's just pure beauty at its best.

At least now i understand why are so many photographers into senior photography. You gonna love to capture the essence of youth, the delicacy beauty and the delightful spirit. Your eyes is being filled with energy, strength and enthusiasm.
You gotta get inspired and very excited. Young people can bring inspiration and some new, fresh ideas, energy and creativity to make the world a better place. They will change the world.

#27 (32) Sarah [2012.08.27]


[1000 Strangers] #27 (32) Sarah by Dr ‧ House (Nguyen Anh Tu), on Flickr
I told her about the 1000 strangers project and asked if I might take her picture. She was nice, friendly and gave me permission to shoot some shots. Then all of a sudden her bus came. She was really in a hurry so i just could take only one photo. I just know her name is Sarah and she's 16 years old!

But it's not that i am complaining. This is what i love about street photography and this project. Walking home, the air is filled with the summer scent and you suddenly saw an attractive face. The true feeling of the moment come out in true colors, the joy when you had only one chance and you did it good.
The best photos are sometimes the ones you don’t plan for. Be ready, and you can get some amazing shots.

Alexandra Sophie, a self taught photographer said once, “Before a shooting, I never meet the models, because I like to keep this freshness and innocence. They rarely even posed for a photographer before me, and I rarely now the place where we are going to shoot, the models making me discover wonderful places that they found oneday or another. I love this situation where I have to adapt myself immediately to what I see.”

When you tend to stick to the same daily boring routine for days and weeks, life becomes so mechanical. So does this project.

There's comfort in familiarity. It's easy. There's less stress when you know what's going to happen and when it's going to happen. And it's when you lost your sense of creativity or originality.
Even when there's no roadblock on your regular route, try a different way to work or for errands just to see what you can see. Turn life on its head. That's what i am thinking right now. I need some little changes!
'Cause this boredom/routine is no more than a state of mind. And you can trick your own mind!

#29 (34) Frederik [2012.09.21]


[1000 Strangers] #29 (34) Frederik by Dr ‧ House (Nguyen Anh Tu), on Flickr

The other day i rented a Nikkor 17-55 f2.8 for an engagement session. For the record, prime lenses are always my favorite and it was my first time using a 17-55 so i was a little bit excited and nervous.

Anyways, i've rented from Audiophil several times and had good experiences. With the daily deal they let you pick your lens earliest at 10 a.m and drop off the next day whenever it is more convenient for you.

The shooting was okay but somehow i was not so very satisfied with the 17-55. I've read many reviews about this lens and i expected more from a best DX zoom in the 17-50 range than this. All in all you can say that it is a great event lens. It has great build, great IQ, good contrast, bokeh is also good. Sharpness is okay. But it is way too expensive and when it comes to price/performance ratio then i prefer to my 35f1.8, let alone 85f1.8!

This long shooting did me in so after some shots with Frederick, i called it a day.

[1000 Strangers] #30 (35) Sabine by Dr ‧ House (Nguyen Anh Tu), on Flickr
As you guys may have noticed, i tend to shoot my strangers project in landscape mode. My girlfriend has asked my why but i couldn't give her any reasonable explanation. Just some sort of "I don't know why. I just like landscape orientated photos. Just like why i love you lol."

Anyway, i did some research about "landscape mode vs. portrait mode" and found some "interesting" informations.
Rules, trending, marketing strategies and so on... But when all is said and done, rules are meant to be broken.

"Some kinds of photos are just suited for landscape mode while others are perfect for portrait mode." Such thing is just a relative thing. Photography is about choices. Your choices. So make your own choice and screw everything else.
But once in a while, a little change could help refreshing yourself.

#31 (36) The beggar [2012.10.01]


[1000 Strangers] #31 (36) The beggar by Dr ‧ House (Nguyen Anh Tu), on Flickr
Aachen is packed with historic sights that remind of those days, including medieval buildings, city gates and beautiful fountains. Strolling through the pedestrian streets you gonna enjoy the pleasant mix of historic grandeur and modern innovation.

But not everything is beautiful. The streets of Aachen are filled with beggars. Every coin has two sides. So do beggars. The truly needy type and those ones who are just going to use your money for booze or drug. You may once wondered that firstly do you help a person in apparent need? And the second is your beneficiary uses that help properly?
It's not an ideal world and we can't help them all. But i am talking about the truly needy ones.

Who can we blame? There are a lot of healthy, lazy and capable of working people who screw the system over and get welfare and i don't think they deserve it. But this poor old man seems need it and what is he doing here?

#32 (37) Stefan [2012.10.01]


[1000 Strangers] #32 (37) Stefan by Dr ‧ House (Nguyen Anh Tu), on Flickr
So new semester is here. Students have been back on campus for three days already. Freshmen getting started on their first semester at RWTH.

Like every year, the orientation week for first-year students started on Monday, 01.10 and it's gonna last for one week. They'll get the schedule and learn all the bsics including information and a few tips to get started this semester on the right foot. Getting to know the city and some main compus buildings. And of course, getting involved by participating in the student community.

Streets around the campus quarter and old town are filled with so many students that i didn't have to bust any hump to get some photos of Stefan. Born in Cologne in 1991 and now he is looking for a pathway focussed on mechanical engineering. Good luck!

#33 (38) Girl on Train


[1000 Strangers] #33 (38) Girl on Train by Anh Tu Nguyen Photography, on Flickr
Music has always been something very special to me. Because music has the power to influence my heart, mind, and soul in ways in which no other thing can. Sometimes it calls forth memories like feelings or thoughts or even events and people from the past. What else can be both exciting and sobering, sad, scary and enlightening at the same time?

My life does not revolve around music, but it has become a huge, positive influence in my life. And of course nothing is as enjoyable to a man as actually playing his own music. So i've started learning guitar a few months ago and I'm loving it more and more. Sure there are days I want to throw it out the window, but frustration is part of learning! It's not too late if you want to bad enough!

This photo was taken the day we (me, my girlfriend and my friend Peter) went to Music Store. While we was playing some songs, she started sing along and her friends too! Had some fun moments. No language has such a power to connect people like music!
