untitled (mont pelerin 2010)

the entry to my old “graduate institute of international studies”. happily for me, its very much a closed episode in my past. not been there for a few years, so i can offer you only the google street view at the moment.

independence park (tel aviv 2010)

i am getting obsessed about dusk. i can’t yet judge if its an easy allure to the light or if its more specifically linked to the colors of the mediterranean. maybe its part to the crepuscular emotions that get hold of me in such a setting. a free flowing of thoughts and emotions that projects me out of the ordinary to something more moving. i want to capture such a moment somehow. btw, the bay that is visible on the left hosts the orthodox beach (clothed and with the sexes separated), opposite to the gay beach. i get a kick out of the intricacies of israeli society.

gaarder (athens 2010)

i have a confession to make. as a kid i rather liked the book “sophie’s world” from jostein gaarder. a bestseller at that time. one thread i do remember from the story involves sophie getting narrated the doings of plato and socrates by the mysterious teacher on the acropolis. when i went there a few weeks ago i was lucky and ascended to the parthenon while the weather was momentarily cloudy. as a consequence even the midday light did not spoil the photos that i took. it wasn’t even very crowded, maybe due to the general strike in athens at that time.
