the weather that day was sheer ridiculous and moody. bright sunshine that one moment, pouring rain the other. i have to give major credit to the bridal party who were keen on taking photos under a bridge because the rain just started pouring down when we were about to get started.

nadin and stefan, all the best for whatever the future holds for the two of you!

* my very first own photoshop action. i wrote one. and i was so proud i had to call lukas for some appreciation. geez, this will save me some time!

* opening up a bank account. the official bank account. for my business.

* my godmother marianne. who lost a bet and who now has to come to hamburg to buy me a big bowl of ice cream.

this is the proof. my godmother did wear a skirt at my christening. she was certain of having worn a skirt or dress only twice in her life. and she claimed my christening wasn’t one of them. yeah. right. i betcha.

hope you’re enjoying your week!

reading. looking at. enjoying.

this?

his reply was that he is still looking but since i am already working as a photographer in hamburg and having my own website i‘d be out of question.

wait. me? being a photographer? it somehow felt like a slap in the face. i still have a hard time calling myself a photographer. i‘d prefer it being a photographic memory maker. i take photos. wedding photos. whenever possible i avoid introducing myself as THE photographer. and everytime someone calls me a photographer i would like to turn around and check out if there is another person standing there. and if there isn‘t, like in most cases, i‘d love to hide.

i just don‘t feel like being one. don‘t get me wrong. this is absolutely what i want to do in life. and i know i can do this. it‘s just that i am self educated and there is so much more i need to learn. i need so much more practice. right now i don‘t see myself playing with the big guys. i am nervous for every shoot. scared to mess it up. afraid that people would think i have no clue of what i am doing. this internship would have been perfect. and besides, one should never stop learning no matter how long you have been in business. you live and learn.

i know that the day will come when i will introduce myself as THE photographer. with pride and confidence.

* the world cup. and with it germany’s fab team. super gemacht, jungs! can’t wait for 2012 and 2014!

* getting together with my big sister who is in bielefeld for a visit.

* spending time with thomas.

enjoy your week!

i’ve been dealing with a bad cold for 2 weeks now. and it’s getting on my nose – eh, nerves still having to carry around a package of tissues with me. while this said package of tissues lies on the table next to my laptop, i am editing the photos of nadin and stefan’s wedding. and here is a little teaser for now…

* having rocked those unpredictable weather conditions at last saturday’s wedding.

* the sun in hamburg.

* being in love. with my new vintage typewriter.

hope you enjoy this week. and let’s hope for a german victory on wednesday!

looking forward to tomorrow!

* germany’s fabulous start into the world cup 2010 by beating australia 4-0.

* having survived the night at the hay hotel.

* the assurance that something turned out differently than suspected.

enjoy this week
