Paris Travel Notes

Whenever I travel, I realize how important it is to get away from home. That sounds strange because when I'm at home, I don't really want to leave my familiar surroundings. I've set up a good infrastructure at home and can work very well. Our household is well organized, meals are planned, and I exercise five times a week.

Iconic Rides: Mellow 34/35

The Bonanza bicycle featured a banana seat and was named in homage to the cool and rebellious style of chopper motorcycles. As a child, I had no idea about this. Consequently, the name Bonanza always puzzled me because there was this Bonanza Western TV series, and cowboys were supposed to ride horses, not bicycles.

When YouTube Goes to the Sauna

There are moments in an artist's life when you wonder if the world has completely lost its mind. One such moment was recently bestowed upon me by YouTube's staff, who I suspect must lead quite an adventurous love life. How else could I explain their latest decision? They've banned a trailer for my new photo book from their platform. A trailer, mind you, that I had already censored so thoroughly that even the Vatican's art commission would have found nothing to object to.

Realm of Relaxation: Mellow 33/35

The 90s were the best time after all. I have memories of techno nights in the club. There was this song called "The Realm". A woman moans phrases like "Something for your mind your body and your soul" and "Hot like the sun and wet like the rain" into the microphone.

Thomas Berlin: The Art of Naturalness

On this dreary November day, as sunset already announces itself in late morning, I sit with Thomas Berlin at my dining table. Fresh brewed coffee wafts between us, and before us lies his first photo book On Every New Day — a fascinating work that captures the essence of three years of intensive photographic collaboration with his model Irina.

You Fit into Me: Mellow 32/35

Here I sit in front of my work, unable to let go. Too many images that mean something to me. Authors call it kill your darlings — this painful process of cutting out favorite passages that may be beautiful but don't serve the bigger picture.

In addition to suspender belts, ears are also a regular accessory in my pictures. It's not really cosplay, but the reference to comics is definitely there. I had never used fox ears before.

This is the only series that I took in two different years. Darina surprised me so positively at our first meeting that I wanted to take bonus pictures for the book. I used the color red as my theme. In each picture, Darina is wearing a different item of red clothing. Don't worry, it's not that many clothes.

Of all my photo series, I think this one has the coolest title. I think it could be the title of a movie. I can't help but think of Pierre Richard in The Tall Blonde with the Black Shoe, although my series has nothing to do with it. Well, at least model Zu is also tall and blonde.

Poolside Sheriff sounds kind of funny. And that's why I chose this title for my set with Alice. It's the second time that a series with Sheriff in the title is in my book, but since the titles are only at the end in small letters in the table of contents, it's ok.
