Last time in Antwerp, I shot the images for my friend Carolin Lerch’s wonderful label “Pelican Avenue”. Click here to see her magical website!
Pelican Avenue
“Spellbinders”
last friday ( the last day of 2010) i had to discover that my well kept last diet coke in my fridge turned out to be magical.
last friday ( the last day of 2010) i had to discover that my well kept last diet coke in my fridge turned out to be magical.
the next day (1/1/11) i was reading in the newspaper that an angle like light was spotted in the sky (see picture).!
now i was wondering if it had anything to do with the magic coke….
cant wait for all the wonders of 2011.
The future has always been a limitation
To my imagination
My destiny has always been a dream
Where it never reigned supreme
Beyond this country’s borders
I will walk
Beyond this country’s mother tongue
I will talk
As destiny calls
So I shall follow
Where ever my heart will lead me
While I’m looking out the window
Slowly as I encounter these obstacles
I throw myself on them, to overcome
Heading on like a steam train with angels
Fulfilling my destiny through words in a poem
Destiny lies in front of me
So I reach and hold on
Grasping every moment
Treasuring this precious memory!

Michael Strasser
Michael is a wonderful friend, opera singer, cook and artists.
This morning we played the opera “lascia ch’io pianga” together.
one of my favourite works of michael is ” the artist’s space” in which he exhibits the carpet of his living space in London.
i like the stains of time.
you should have a look at his website (click here) .
last night – passed one at night, we showed no fear and we went on a ride of death.
we walked for hours through isolated snow-scapes.
night sleigh ride!
a ride in complete darkness.
we were not scared.!
sledging in the snow.
in our pockets:
2 x cigarillos
2 x lolly pops
passport
and off we went with our sleighs down the hill
we showed no fear.
( well a bit we did)
there is nothing better then a ride of death!
when i was young i thought that the roof of the house on the hill, would touch the sky.
i thought – if i would climbed that roof i could touch the sky.
i like winter. when i watch the snow fall – i get peculiar emotion. Is it just me? no, i think a lot of people feel the same way. i personally think that this emotion is our nostalgia for the memory of our ancestors who survived the glacial ages.
today my friend joe wrote me something nice:
I was thinking yesterday about how when you have a small cut on your skin and the scar tissue can seep out and crystallize as it hardens and wouldn’t it be wonderful if people believed those crystals had special powers or some people were able to make different crystals with their skin. Or maybe some could become really famous for growing huge precious stones.
