i want to travel japans isolated snow country.
and then i want to drink hot green tea out of nice ceramic cups and read :
yasunari kawabata’s
“snow country”
“Now that he knew Yoko was in the house, he felt strangely reluctant to call Komako. He was conscious of an emptiness that made him see Komako’s life as beautiful but wasted, even though he himself was the object of her love; and yet the woman’s existence, her straining to live, came touching him like naked skin. He pitied her, and he pitied himself”
last week i went on a wander alone to my new favourite area in london and had a hot matcha in a japanese tea house. in which i played a japanese tombola and won “a little sausage and bean in a hot pan” eraser.
my lucky number was: 26
the staff was singing and applauding with my win – i happily finished my tea.
(bit blushed but happy)

the THE IMAGIST writes:
The decade is still fairly new (uhmmm like several months ) but it is certainly looking quite promising when it comes to the rise of new photographic talent. Will we see a 90’s style explosion of a new breed of fashion imagists? The impending book by Daniel Sannwald, Pluto & Charon certainly feels like an audacious first offensive in the idea of a young photographer forging a signature style. Through his potent editorials in Dazed and Confused as well as 032c magazine and Vogue Hommes Japan you’ve gotten a taste of an aesthetic that flashes back to a kind of pre-WWII European instinct for experimental photography. Think the collage driven photographic forays of The Surrealists mixed with the mannered reductionism of Man Ray touched by the god lighting of Baron de Meyer. That 20’s/30’s enthusiasm for the new form of photography , which was then an innovative field marked by an absence of rules, is an instinct beautifully revived in the work of Mr Sannwald. For all the death drums beating for print, does anything look as sexy as the stacks of paper bearing the replicated images as they roll off a printing press? Carry on Daniel!
tomorrow we will finish the fairy tale story and i really cant wait to show you the finale images! …
look.! sketches of some of our magical creatures by the wonderful artist james trimmer…!
Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.

sometimes i wish i would have an iron man as a friend.
i would always feel protected and never worried at nights. i would sleep in his hands covered by my blankets and pillows.
today i would ask him to take me to the other side of the world.
just for a day.
to see lions and to be a bit away.
today and tomorrow i am working on one of my nicest projects so far – a fairy tale project.
i been ask to work together with some wonderful writers to create a very special fairy tale…
more soon!

and did you knew:
- The homing pigeon, Cher Ami, lost an eye and a leg while carrying a message in World War I. Cher Ami won the Distinguished Service Cross. Its leg was replaced with a wooden leg.
last night on my way home i was looking at all these shadows. thinking about how they would transform into black holes. black holes in all kind of shadow shapes … so, i tried to jump over, run around or slowly move in other directions to avoid falling into the shadow like black holes – but then…. i saw my own shadow.
