Portraits at Bucher Stausee
The Journey
two shots from my recent journey to and fro the Bucher Stausee (reservoir/artificial lake). no pictures of the lake itself, but that's for some other time :)
Running Away
I want to run away,
Just be gone – check out
I long to hide away
And bury my head in my hands
To just cry until I am all cried out
Done - no tears left
Cry till all the sad is gone
I wish for long, long hours to sleep
To rise only to return and slip back
between sheets that never cooled
I desire the sleep of no interruption
Till all the exhaustion has lifted
From my heavily laden eyes
But… none of this will I do
I will get up each day the crack of dawn
I will continue the endless motions
That make this life of mine work
Putting one foot in front of the other
Over and over again

Wedding
First off, i would like to congratulate both the bride and bridegroom :) Both of them are one of the most loving couple i have came across and i am very honoured to be given the opportunity to photograph their wedding day :) which was on the 18th of July 2009.
This being my first time ever attending a wedding in Germany, i really didn't know what to expect. Well, that's not entirely true, i did expect a lot of food :) The wedding was for me, by far, the longest that i ever attended and also the most entertaining :) and i am not just saying that because i was one the photographers (beside sugin and heetat)
The whole wedding lasted for approx. 12 hours, from ceremony until the last person dancing. But it was fun, because in between the 12 hours there were:
- 20 plus cakes to be consumed
- seriously a lot of food, appetizers until dessert
- there was a continuous supply of coffee *very important*
- a band filling the air with music all day long
- a magician/comedian performing
- dancing
The latter two were the highlights for me. It was a really good idea for the couple to hire the magician, he was amazingly good. And the dance, people were dancing from the evening until late night, with few pauses in between. You might think that it would be boring to watch people dancing. But everyone were really having a good time, you can't help feeling the same thing :)
In the end, i really enjoyed myself and it was definitely a refreshing experience. A huge thank you to the couple again, for choosing me as one of their photographers, despite of my inexperience :)
