RE: by popular demand

in #stuff7 years ago

Thanks for bringing out your photos! I was allowed to see Venice a little with your eyes. I like the picture, where a piece of green water can be seen under the arcades, it has a particularly beautiful color. And I would also put the lampshade in my apartment :) Your vacation seemed to be unexcited and pleasant and you are right, one should spend money instead of hoarding it. Did you wear the mask on the bed? :)) Have you talked to people or met someone? And of course the cat must not be missing.

Actually nobody likes the tourist streams and where they are attracted. But since you are also one yourself, it's as if you condemn a traffic jam that you also cause:) I like the backyards and unknown corners as well and stray has made me experience things I would never have experienced otherwise. One can suddenly discover things, even in one's own city, which one otherwise overlooks. I once had a photographer assignment (as a small intern) where I documented working people. My pleasure increased as I discovered a smithy and watched the red-hot iron being hewn and metals being welded and I rejoiced like a snow king to photograph the work.

Your photos captured the mood well.

people ..

'real' people ... im almost like the emotional vampires here giving cookies to "people" for sharing real-ness, only im more like face to face, but .. the money, yo ... how can i get anywhere if i cant even pay the fucking train or plane ?

only time tells ...

Pretty difficult question, knowing who you really are. I think when you start thinking about it, you don't really know in the end. If someone says something friendly about you, you are inclined to keep it alive and to continue to be the way the other person would like to see you. We mainly know who we are through encountering and being together with others. If we were always alone and surrounded by aliens, we would lose our identity and perhaps go mad, because we would lack to reflect or recognize ourselves about the world around us. Seen this way, you are not an emotional vampire, just a human being who recognizes himself in the other :) The real can only be something you have experienced as real, can't it? But of course I know what you mean: If we want to acquire a fake identity and be someone we are not, always want to please, ignore or dominate others, the world will notice that and react accordingly.

You can't not communicate and how you live in the world, determines how much money you have to get on a train or a plane.

Hey, that was philosophical now, I hope you don't mind.

ofcourse i did, lol ... alleycat ... i dont go just to move from one thing-on-the-folder to the next .. yapping is my thing (believe you me or not hahah) ... when i'm out there ... i have all kinds of people in my head, it just won't work when someone tries to bring the on-demand ... that like "creativity from nine to five haha"

not how things work , right ?

Yea ofcourse, when i was in Paris half year after i spent with all kinds of people , at one moment i was sitting with a homeless guy on the pavement like WAY after midnight in the "dangerous city" , in the middle of a heap of plastic bags, and the guy brings out a bag of hash ( = lmao)

sitting there, as shabby as can be, so we smoked that joint together, i got some beer .. and we both separated with a happy , and a bit wiser i guess

the next day i'm in line for the catacombs (that's like a five-hour queue) with in front of me a family , mom , dad, two sons from Chicage, so we spent like five hours yapping heh ...

i do i do i do ...

This gives me a sense of coherence. As they say so nicely, you go with the flow of things and get involved with the situation you are in at the moment. That's quite wonderful! Whether bum or family, everyone has something interesting to say when they feel your interest in them. I love people and I find them interesting. There are rarely moments when I don't want to get into conversation in a foreign country, for example. The purpose of a journey is to experience something, to bring the eyes to other impressions, to get people in their everyday life.

Yes, dangerous means something different for men than for women. I envied people who did something supposedly dangerous because it is a form of freedom.

right ?

it' just ... THE MONEY, RIGHT ? ... sitting on a pavement with a homeless guy is all fine, as long as i know i got my money and i can go to my hotel or home the moment i want heh, i'm not really all that streetside, but i spent about two years streetside
simply because that was the only option left, so i know my way around and i know signals, im rarely scared

and it's like the guru says ... you can't improve yourself on third-hand intel :D

lol, yeah, that's the other side of an encounter. Knowing when it's enough and having a good place to retreat to.

You spent two years without having an apartment? Wow, that I call tough. I guess, it did a lot how you see the world.
