THIS is BIRTHDAY - 28 AGAIN !

I had the BEST B-DAY ever this year
totally improvised, last minute decision
with my two fav. man in the all world : M  + M
got a igloo can camped outside my bedroom with best mate M.

M. played along
M. watched

perfect b-day celebration -  the Birthday Camping Night project

first step -  discard useless instructions

it goes THIS WAY !

THIS is SUPERNATURAL - GHOST or no GHOST ?

2011 is starting in a unique way
well, I actually freaked out 2 weeks ago
when going trough my berlin photos
and notice in this one, a human ( woman face ) standing behind me

Seriously I had a ice current going on my spine
because I took this shot and KNOW
I was alone in the flat when I took this
it was the place I stayed while in Berlin
I took this photo on the kitchen

it is the window reflection on the kitchen big lamp
when i TOOK it def. did not see what it appears to me
to be a face of a person, woman maybe leaning against the wall

where the face is , in reality was the door to the kitchen cupboard for groceries
so, I am 98% sure its a ghost who appeared in my shot

I try to look carefully to the woman/ human face
(but still it still freaks me out a lot, because I actually was there)
it seems a person leaning against the wall
with a thinking, dreamy expression
like someone who is reading a book or something

maybe its a artist ghost !

here is the photo as captured in film
no retouching, no manipulation

THIS is FILM - Yuko Kaseki BERLIN 2011

So late with these, really struggling with the fast pace of 2011 -  where is the slow dow promised by the cute rabbit ?

Well, better late than ever -  here some shots of the last day of the workshop.

Many thanks once again to Yuko Kaseki and everyone who made the workshop and this photos possible.

THANK YOU - PIVOTAL 2010

Were already mid Feb. 2011
2011 approached fast and arrived even faster
leaving me almost with no time to think

but I make time now
as I must stop and register
that 2010 has been probably
one of the most if not yet the most
important year in my life

it surely has been pivotal
i was a completely different person in 2009,
2010 plugged in that deep change,
and know I walk into 2011
a utterly different person

so different I cannot really recall
or remember
or recognize so well me in 2009

It was just so much overwhelming CHANGE
at so many levels, I still feel overwhelmed
and it is hard to pin it down in words

in some way
the overall feeling is that I feel
I have dyed, reborned
and somehow am now starting to be who I always was meant to be ( if that can be said or even thinked at all )

most of the times
I dont worry about the future
I just kinda of feel
this inner calm
and acceptance that whatever will be will be
and that I have not worry
for I am walking in the right path
life itself is taking me,
where I need to go
