The best place to stay on a hot summer day is the waterside. Together with Seelenschmetterling and FrauAmar.i.
Enjoy the sunlight
On the roof with the freckles girl, sunlight and wind makes the scene

One of my preferences is to experiment with color, to paint models, or to use color in any other way. Sometimes this works well and sometimes not so well. Decide for yourself! Though the only color I used is white, I like the color version of this images more than the b/w version.
A Clockwork Moloko
50 years ago, after first premiering in New York City and then releasing in the UK, Stanley Kubrick released his dystopian cinematic masterpiece, A Clockwork Orange to the world. Kubrick’s vivid visualization of the future captivated film critics and viewers alike instantaneously. He took the already powerful Anthony Burgess novel and, fueled with a riveting soundtrack by Wendy Carlos, electrified it in a way few imagined possible.
Vivid and electrifying, his vision of the future has shaped every aspect of culture to this day — despite eventually being banned in Britain and other countries — from cinema to music to fashion & design. It changed moviemaking almost overnight. And it’s impact on music, art and culture continue unabated today. Myriad musicians and bands drew their influences from the film, including the legendary David Bowie . The British synthpop band Heaven17 even got their name from the famous record store scene. But of all the riveting visual stylizations that Kubrick created for the screen, the most vivid for me even today is the Korova Milk Bar . The stark high-contrast pop modernism of this scene has been a powerful influence for me from the moment I saw the film. The Milk Bar Mannequins, the flowing psychedelic typography hyping the drug-infused Moloko, the wardrobe, and the lighting all conspired together to create one wild trippy experience.
So, viddy this well then, me brothers and sisters. I give you A Clockwork Moloko, my tribute to A Clockwork Orange and most especially the Korova Milk Bar…

Coping
Hang in there they say. For what? For how long? They don’t know. I keep coming and going. I breathe and I eat. I buy things, I sell things. You know, I keep myself real busy. Once in a while, something takes over. Something that clouds my mind. Life keeps being life but I’m spared. I feel like a fish in a jar.
These are the moments. That will be repeated. Time after time. Until the end.

Color Projections
I’ve been inspired through the use of my video projector as a means of lighting models this year. Using a variety of visualization software to create the graphics, along with some laser projectors, I’ve discovered some interesting ways to accentuate and confuse the familiar lines of nude models. This was the first time that I’d added the lasers, and I like how they add some texture to the smoke and background.
