Fathomless Depths

                                                                

A shifting blue sky covers Berlin

Lying to the world, in it’s own brilliance

There is nothing we can do, now

You, the rebel, a loser, a cause without

I don’t want to hurt you, but I need to breath

Our key was lost some time ago

Being the talisman, obsessed with ones downfall

Be the phantom, searching photon thief

(What is the most special thing you ever done in your life?)

Maintaining a perverted fear of lost bearing

While you strike and lash out

Killing the only thing you got, right to kill

Silence falling as shadows, embracing the dark

The solemn autodidact stands alone on the beach, seeking indifference

Sky, wind and water meaning all

Rock, roots holding life, connecting elements

Ones vision, unreal truth on display

We will not take the easy road

Guevnna Incognito

Absolutely love this shot

I was asked to shoot a new promo pic for my friend Ryo (Voc Guevnna) since they added a 2nd guitar.

He had 2 requests :  Black/White and no "face recognition"….hmm.  I used 3 different medium and funnily enough, the Pro Canon DSLR images didn't make it to the cut. Was shooting with a Micro 3/4 mirrorless and 35mm film and as usual the term "Less is More" applied to this shoot as well. Deliberate camera shake and ridiculous on-camera settings (as well as outdated film scanned on my moldy film scanner) gave me the effect and mood I was seeking…YES, I did tweak these images to the max with LR…

CVLT Nation

A good friend of mine is getting his band on the road and it's taking off in a royal manner (Legion Of Andromeda) and I suggested to help him get more exposure. I contacted a site I like (probably the only one I actually like) and asked them to do something on the LOA…they did…happy days. I was then asked by CVLT Nation if I would be interested to b next photographer on their "Seven Story" photo thing. I gave them 7 images I shot by 6x6 medium format camera lately….check it out here :

Super cool, stoked to be on the CVLT nation page, respect these so much and what they do for what I hold close to my heart.

Part 6/6 - 5 Roll Project

Listening to CVLT NATION's 2.5h long sample "Doom Nation Black" atm. Sunday blues pressing down heavy on my broken being. Fight fire with fire. To add insult to injury and really go the full mile I will post my last 6 shots from the 5 Roll Project. A mix of grim, blurred and moody frames that actually is perfectly suited to what today is, but on the same hand very misplaced when it comes to the joy and sheer excitement I got out of heading out with my camera and 5 rolls one day a couple of weeks back in MMXIV. The actual "plan" was to just get something done, no strings attached, no big scheme with a glorious goal at the end, no profit except on a personal level. No, just to strap on the camera and hit he city, see what this crazy place I call home could give you on 60 frames of medium format 6x6 film. Like I mentioned before, I got around 40 frames that wasn't completely "wrong", I know I missed to scan the shot I was most thrilled to shoot (thanks Paul for lending me your scanner btw)…man, that is life, sometimes you miss out on the good stuff but in the end of the day there is no one but yourself who actually cares (and I have the negative…so there you go). Maybe I get it done someday and post it, who knows. Posted 37 out of these here below in 6 Parts. Turned out to be 6 parts i.e man, tree, bldg, water, dark and lost that had some line drawn between them. This last Part is more or less leftover bastards that I can not label as one so I call it "lost", wasn't supposed to shoot color but in all haste in the dark under a bridge in the forgotten part of town I accidentally loaded a color negative and got what I got. Decent stuff actually, these turned out better that I would like to admit. Maybe my long lasting heavy grit Monochrome Period slowly coming to an end and another dimension with colors is taking shape? Doubt it but who knows. I've got a stash of insanely outdated 120 color negatives in the fridge that could come handy if I so choose...
Images, Words and Music is getting shaped into one big heavy demolition ball of inspirational destruction, life rolls on and as long as there is some creativeness left to explore there will be a way up and out.



There is only one suitable title for this set : Doom Nation MMXIV
