While working on the story about human trafficking in Hamburg, I came along this bar in Wilhelmsburg where all kinds of immigrants meet during night and day. They drink and laugh and sing and sleep there, waiting to get their own flat and a regular job.
Some portraits/images I did recently for Der Spiegel
A week ago I did a short reportage about a syrian family in Zwickau for Der Spiegel. The story go published in the current issue, but they only had space for one image - so here are some more.
“We are a spectacular, splendid manifestation of life. We have language. . . . We have affection We have genes for usefulness, and usefulness is about as close to a “common goal” of nature as I can guess at. And finally, and perhaps best of all, we have music.”
A quick portrait I made very recently for the german magazine Der Spiegel.
Some days ago I made a few pictures for my friends at CrossFit Aorta, you can see some of them below.
“Keep close to Nature’s heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean. None of Nature’s landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild.”
I recently had to take some portraits of Mr. Karwat - a gallery owner and author from Berlin. Nice guy and I really like how the pictures turned out. What do you think?
“You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.”
Some time ago I did a story on Ismail Cetinkaya, a MMA-Fighter from Hamburg, as a part of a greater story about islam in germany.
“True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one’s self, and in the next from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.”
“It’s just human. We all have the jungle inside of us. We all have wants and needs and desires, strange as they may seem. If you stop to think about it, we’re all pretty creative, cooking up all these fantasies. it’s like a kind of poetry.”
The story about the yezidi communty Özlem and me worked on, got published yesterday. You can take a look at the full tearsheet and you can read the story online. Also take a look at the facebook page of Paruar - the guy featured in the story - for more pictures and information.
“Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty, and dies with chaos.”
trippy
Some days ago I was invited by the artist Jerszy Seymour to the swiss alps in order to document The Extranational Assembly, a happening he initiated because he wants to redefine the way we think about nations and nationality.
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
“There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking.”
“Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.”
“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go... And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.”
