Michael Triegel.

In january, the director of the Macedonia documentary and I took the
train through snowy landscapes to lovely Leipzig and actually got there
about two hours late. Arriving in an industrial brickstone area covered
in icicles, we were picked up by Michael Triegel and kindly welcomed
in his warm and cozy studio loft.

I'm usually not into paintings, neither the old master's way nor religious
topics. But Michael Triegel's works are truly impressive and seem to glow
from inside. He clearly is a master of his craft and all of his paintings
appear to have somewhat of a very intelligent, sometimes ironic twist
to them. Strolling around in his studio, I drank apple juice from a shot
glass and took so many pictures that I just couldn't reduce the selec-
tion to less than this.

Now, guess if we got back on time... No. "Thank you for traveling with
Deutsche Bahn."

The birds.

Icecold skys over Kreuzberg (where I recently got an office space and
absolutely love it!).

Across the river and into the trees.

Back in november, I spent a wonderful little wihile in Freiburg, living in a
haunted house with a turret and being blown away by the hospitality
and cheerfulness of my wonderful hosts. The black forest wasn't exactly
top on the list for things to see or do last year, but it was actually freaking
awesome. I am definitely coming back next summer for the german
photo travels. Dear weather, how about a little fog next time? I wonder
how beautiful these trees must look right now - dressed-up as ice-cubes.

Alice Dwyer.

A couple days ago I met actress Alice Dwyer to go on a photographic
walk through Kreuzberg. Unfortunately, it was so f*§%/&)"ing cold, we
couldn't really stay outside for more than an instant. Though meeting
this impressive young lady is a pleasure always I hope we can do this
again sometime. Bewitched by blue eyes, let's wait for the air to warm
up a bit, just a little.

Actually nice.

When I got this pretty uncommon job I was unsure about the outcome.
Taking pictures of a christmas fair? Well... In the end I really liked running
around there. Thanks to the people working at and visiting the medieval
market in Siegburg before Christmas for being so beautiful.

2009 in books.

As I still haven't finished the year journal, here is a symbolic version of my
moods - in books. I took this picture before Christmas and it doesn't show
all books, but as my memory is starting to weaken at the age of 25, please
forgive me. The order is random and doesn't mean anything.

Carolin Weinkopf, 2009 in books
Photo: Carolin Weinkopf

Wolfgang Borchert: "Draußen vor der Tür" ♥♥♥♥ (a classic)
Miljenko Jergović: "Das Walnusshaus" ♥♥♥♥ (haven't finished it yet)
John Berger & Jean Mohr: "Eine andere Art zu erzählen" ♥♥♥♥♥ (a great
photo-text-book. Worth a look!)
Ryszard Kapuściński: "Der Andere" ♥♥♥♥♥ (a little scientific, but great
and especially true)
Hermann Hesse: "Klein & Wagner" ♥♥♥♥ (a Hesse, you know)
Milan Kundera: "Der Vorhang" ♥♥♥♥♥ (I was disappointed, too much
personal vain)
Susan Sontag: "Über Fotografie" ♥♥♥♥ (I keep on reading these essays,
though I'm not exactly a fan of artsy theories)
Milan Kundera: "Das Leben ist anderswo" ♥♥♥♥♥ (my all time favourite
Kundera)
Katharina Hagena: "Der Geschmack von Apfelkernen" ♥♥♥♥ (Easy
reading for a plane- or trainride in the winter.)
Irene Dische: "Großmama packt aus" ♥♥♥♥ (hilarious)
Susan Sontag: "Der Wohltäter" ♥♥♥♥ (when reading this at the Spanish
beach I realized I had read it before... I still liked it a lot.)
Marianne Gilbert: "Das gab's nur einmal" ♥♥♥♥ (it fits my sceme,
but it's not a masterpiece)
John von Düffel: "Vom Wasser" ♥♥♥♥ (nice)
Angelika Schrobsdorff: "Die Reise nach Sofia" ♥♥♥♥ (not as great as
her other books)
Giovanni di Lorenzo: "Auf eine Zigarette mit Helmut Schmidt" ♥♥♥♥♥
(I usually don't read books like this, but I bought this at the train station
due to the lack of other interesting books and read it in one flow - great
short-while reading)
Harry Thürk: "Sommer der toten Träume" ♥♥♥♥♥ (not written too well,
but I bought this for one reason: There is a character named Weinkopf
in this book coming from the same town in Silesia as my grandfather!)
Hermann Hesse: "Unterm Rad" ♥♥♥♥♥ (the best Hesse after Steppen-
wolf)

I just took another picture of some I forgot (or got for or after Christmas):

Carolin Weinkopf, 2009 in books
Photo: Carolin Weinkopf

Kurt Tucholsky: "Rheinsberg" ♥♥♥♥♥ (I flew away with this little story - a
must read for only an hour or so)
Irene Dische: "Der Doktor braucht ein Heim" ♥♥♥♥ (50 lovely pages)
Max Goldt: "Vom Zauber des seitlich dran Vorbeigehens" ♥♥♥♥♥ (no
idea why I bought this - I hate pop literature)
Trescher Verlag: "Makedonien" ♥♥♥♥♥ (not a great one but the only
travel guide in German for Macedonia. Reading it I decided that I have
to do my own some day...)
Kurt Tucholsky: "Berlin-Paris" ♥♥♥♥♥ (found this on ebay for a euro, a
great book to carry around and read little lovely stories while waiting for
the oh so reliable Berlin s-bahn...)
Albert Camus: "Der Fremde" ♥♥♥♥♥ (I've read this many times and this is
actually the only book I ever read and kind of understood in French since
highschool...)
Bertholt Brecht: "Der Jasager und der Neinsager" ♥♥♥♥♥ (Very inspiring
and the perfect reading for me I guess...)
Fjodor Dostojewski: "Aus dem Dunkel der Großstadt" ♥♥♥♥♥ (just really
dark and great)
"Deutsche Dörfer neu entdeckt" ♥♥♥♥ (Nic gave me this for Christmas
to prepare my photo-report on Germany - love)

Not on these pictures because I borrowed them or don't know where I put
them...:
Angelika Schrobsdorff: "Du bist nicht so wie andere Mütter" ♥♥♥♥♥ (my
all time favourite book in 2009)
Jonathan Safran Foer: "Alles ist erleuchtet" ♥♥♥♥ (loved it, whereas I
HATED the movie afterwards)
Thommie Bayer: "Eine kurze Geschichte vom Glück" ♥♥♥♥♥ (fast read,
but forgot about it right away - not a good sign)
Ryszard Kapuściński: "Die Welt im Notizbuch" ♥♥♥♥ (speaks from my
soul in many parts, in others not at all)

If any one has read or at least knows some (obviously...) of these books,
you might realize that I'm in love with family stories, especially when they're
Jewish. There's no specific reason, I just love them. If you have any recom-
mendations concerning this topic I would be more than pleased.

Zurizuza.

I am stuffed with work and the papers and emails and tasks are piling
up so much that I don't know where to start or end or breathe (which
is good because in the end this means I'll be able to pay for my rent...).
So if you belong to the beloved people waiting for an email, for prints,
for a CD of photos, a translation, a commitment or a call - please be
patient with me as it's just so much to do and so little time. Thank you
for baring with me. I will also be back posting tons of stuff very soon.

As a glimpse of things to come, please enjoy the lovely pictures I took
in Zurich in the beginning of last month. This was actually five weeks ago,
so thinking of it it's not hard to realize that there is at least ten more shoo-
ting sessions waiting to be published (or even looked at, really).

Also, my 2009 photo-text-diary post is updated daily and will be posted
very soon, but I can't think of the past while the present is so stressful.
Well, yes. Argh.
