ALL THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE DO IN WINTER, THEY ALL MELT DOWN IN SUMMER

Hvalfjordur, Ísland, February 2009


The last two months passed by so quickly. I still wonder if this is good or bad, at least I don't feel bad. It is still hard to get up early in the morning for icelandic classes and it is still great to have a good cup of hot chocolate at Hjomalind. Work is still kind of exciting and relaxing, and the view (look!) from my balcony is still wonderful. I still miss Berlin and my friends and my family and everything, but I get along here with mostly everyone quite well

I try to go out photographing as much as possible. This country has some beautiful spots. I still don't have a new 35mm. I shoot a lot with my old medium format. Though sometimes I wish I could afford some equipment that actually works, that you can rely on. Sometimes the film transfer fucks up on my Kiev. I haven't figured out yet why. The photograph above is the result of such an event

The guys from noise.net asked me to do an interview and you can read it here (###), though I am not really that interesting. They said as a featured artist my photographs will also appear on the main site and in the newsletter, but I haven't seen it there yet. If you do, please let me know

It's slowly getting spring here in Iceland, I think. It's still windy and cold but at least the sun is getting up way earlier than before. The last days have been so sunny. You really learn to apprechiate the sun here
