Arno Fischer.

My interview on sunday went quite well and now that I have it on paper,
I might as well spread the word: Starting in march 2010, I will be a master
student of Arno Fischer at Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie und Gestaltung
in Berlin.

Arno Fischer is one of the greatest photographers of his generation from
the former East Berlin. Visit his >>website<<.

Selection, please?

I got invited to the interview for Arno Fischer's master class at Ostkreuz-
schule für Fotografie und Gestaltung.

Now I need to pick photos for the portfolio. Can you help me, please?

Freiburg.

careaux — 2009-11-23T11:16:00Z

I will be in Freiburg a good portion of this week for a job. Since I don't
know if I will have wireless in the 110 year old house where I'm staying,
I don't know about updating. But stay tuned for more Macedonia
pictures coming by the end of the week.

October days.

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.

Room for Inspiration.

careaux — 2009-10-18T12:47:00Z

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<<.

September/October Days.

We went to the gardens of the world and sold all our crap at the flea-
market.

Welcome fall.

My first cold has caught me, reality hits me in a negative sense today
and temperatures are going down. Time to bury my head in the sand?

Goosebumps.

careaux — 2009-10-01T16:34:00Z

I just rediscovered my NYC mp3-player in a huge pile of clothes. The play
button gave me goosebumps - now I'm tangled in good and bad time
memories. Such a beautiful moment to put the world on hold for a bit.

They're back.

Ooooold pictures to come.

Long lost treasure.

Five years ago my exboyfriend Anders and I went on a trip through
western Europe. With a fresh high school diploma and no money we
started off from Bonn and drove all over Luxemburg, France and Spain
for almost four weeks, living behind the steering wheel and sleeping in
the trunk. In the picturesque town of Sète, located in southern France
close to the Spanish border, we spent a beautiful afternoon at the
beach. When we came back to the car, the lock was cracked and
everything we owned was absolutely gone. Dressed in what a non-
existant god gave us (plus a little bathing suite), we drove to the police
station and all of the sudden all the French I always thought I didn't
know helped me to propely describe all my former belongings. Which,
sadly, included my super gorgeous Pentax SLR camera. Of course, I
never got it back.

Two years later, in college, my dad bought me a super nice Panasonic
bridge camera for my birthday to kick off my talent again. In Hamburg
for an internship at Gruner + Jahr at the time, I opened an account at
bubbleshare.com to make little nice photostreams for the loved ones.
A year later, back in Berlin, one night, my computer made a super weird
noise and the screen went black. Three weeks later I could pick it up all
shiny and colourful again - but all my pictures were absolutely gone.

Ever since, I have learned what it means to back up content, but un-
fortunately, that never brought my pictures back again. A couple times
I even had to turn buyers down that saw the super tiny little thumbnails
that were saved via my internet craziness, but could not be printed due
to the lack of high resolution files.

Today I got a wonderful email from bubbleshare, which I hadn't ever
used again for at least two years. They are closing down the service but
giving you the opportunity to download all your pictures as the original,
high resolution versions. This gives me back around onethousand won-
derful pictures that were thought to be gone forever. Noone knows how
fucking happy I can be.

Amen.

Now. Officially.

5000.

careaux — 2009-06-01T23:31:00Z

My blog hit the mark of 5000 visitors today. Thank you.

All f%&§ed up.

After hours of editing of my recent pictures it happened once again.
Somehow magically they all went to the trashbin and someone (...)
hit "empty". I'm recovering but am also very busy enjoying my last two
weeks of NYC, so please be patient. Argh.
