One of the highlights of our trip was the helicopter flight all over Mace-
donia's heaven. Having some of the world best pilots on board, it was
a scary but fun high-ride like a never-ending rollercoaster. Enjoy the
views from above.

To start my photographic diary about travelling through the breath-
taking country of Macedonia, I decided to introduce you to Zrze. In
Southern Macedonia, at the peak of a fertile and beautiful valley
surrounded by snow-peaked mountains, after driving a pretty bumpy
road (bumpy underexagerates it by far, I guess) you will reach a small
village, raising up against a rock cliff.

Staying here was maybe the most impressive experience in Mace-
donia. People in Zrze are poor in economical matters, but the richest
from the heart that I have ever met. "Crawling around in the farm-
steads" as the director used to call it, I found great hospitality and
the most amazing and truest smiles.

I'm back in Berlin and this is just a miiiiiiiiiiniiiimal glimpse of pictures to
come. Great thanks to this wonderful country and it's beatiful people
(and dogs, and landscapes, and tomatoes, and rain, and fog...).

The movie that took me here ("Macedonia, mon amour" by Ingo Langner)
will have its premiere in August 2010 in Skopje, so watch out for more infor-
mation.

Now that I'm back I don't even have time to rest. Going to Brunswick tonight
for the premiere of "66/67" by Ludwig & Glaser and then spending some
time with my family in Bonn. I'll be back for jobs to come by the middle of
November.

Before I leave to the Balkan tomorrow, I'll share some snapshots of this
month. To cheer up these days, I recommend old analogue cameras,
long walks in the cold, hot tea and soup, fresh flowers and visiting parts
of your city you barely ever go: I went to Charlottenburg this time to re-
discover >>Mr. Lehmann's magical perfume and plastic flower factory<<
and the lovely stores around.

My blog, my camera and myself are still looking for a lovely little office.
Must be cheap and ideally includes internet and some amazing co-
creatives. My room here at home is killing me, it's uninspiring and lonely.
I am willing to clean, sing, proofread, translate, portrait, cook and decorate
in order to get a spot in your office. >>Contact me<<.

Fall came quickly and the world looks so pretty wearing it.
