severin koller photoblog: October 2006

i started this roll with that shot.. one of these shot you usually not take because it seems nonsens to shoot at f2.0 3200iso in complete darkness on a 1/4ht on a moving subject that's 20meters far away.. but yeah i'm glad that i panned the drunken man in the distance.. i love this photo.

it was 5pm and someone nocked on my door.. i was still asleep because i went to bed at 9am.. it was bernhard.. i opened the door and cought bernhard leaving again.. then suddenly someone else popped out. it was ryan. who stayed in place for a week. of course i said yes, i felt the vibe.. lotsa gay action.

this guy.. haha i loved him. he was weird.. i got him in the perfect moment. he sayd "thank you, thank you!" nothing else.. because i took his photo :D

i wanted to shoot his wrinkles. i think he was a teacher. italian.. i guess. his whole class was in the train.. i bet the pupils loved this photo if they saw it..

hm. it's kinda hard for me to take photos of disabled people.. but then again, i don't make a difference who i shoot.. so i don't see why i should feel bad at all, i'm not making fun of it, i liked how cool this fellow seemed to me. the only problem is that people might think you make fun of them when you shoot them..

photos from the national holiday (50% of them, the medium format photos are missing atm)

i took this one of the girls. we thought they were hot.. somehow. of course they asked us for a photo.. we were the pimps on the place.

that's the photo they took: wow.. lol:

...

this one is for radiohat. my shot was for free though ;)

i took a photo of them. not a special one.. he asked if i try to shoot them and i replyed, too late, i allready did. she said to me that it was not right to take a picture of them without asking for their permission. i told her that i can take pictures of everyone and everything i want, except if i am in an area where it is not permitted.. it depends on the usage of the photo afterwards. she wanted my name and adress to "sue" me. i told them that it's not a problem, they'll end up in a porn magazine.. so they don't have to worry.

(can't add the medium format shots from that day atm, will print and scann them later)

i'll use this photo as an opener for a series i shot at the national holiday, called "vienniese sightseeing".. my fav shot since i'm back probably.

ryan showing how huge his...

we went inside to eat. ryan tried to get some chicks.. but he was rather unsexy eating a huge sandwich.

i found that scene intresting.

no

not really.. just the girl.

we went to the darkroom to had a gay threesome.. no we developed films, really... ;)

since i had the 400 loaded.. 1/30th f2.0

more panning at f2.0 1/4th. still the 400iso tri-x.

that's ryan at a 1/4th shutter. he looks even sexier. we ended up eating a hot dog every night between 2 and 5am in that bar called "kiosk". beside ourselfs, we met some other celebs there.

shooting iso400 in the nightbus asks for the 1/8th.. lol

this one is for ryan. she was so unbelievably emo.. i could have shit my pants.. crying all her mascara, the little goth girl with her goth friends.. she seemed to share her love with both.. very strange couple.. ehrm threesome.. whatever.

nappy nap.

last shot of my quick gay affair, ryan. taken with m6 and 580ex bounced on wall, 5.6 1/45th.

the end !

decided to submit the last photos regulary again. i just didn't have the time to write so much about paris so far... so yes, here with little stories again:

little midday nap hehe.

chilling at the corner.

french bikes:

l'emo.

jealous of the i-pod ?

we met maschenka and dimitri the other day.

we've been to a great japanese restaurant. miriam is failing with the wooden sticks here.. ;P

the restaurant:

on the way to their place. metro. always good for a photo.

we went to this cafe/club.. t'was cool.

dimitri. taken by miriam. almost correctly focused.. (i didn't say that!)

maschenka.. in thoughts.. and a funny pose too.

a parisian car.

had some good drinks at their place. real french stuff.. ;) didn't have more photos left on the trix+3 so shot with the trix normal one.. this photo turned out though haha..

the bokeh of paris. photo of the view of dimitri and maschas apartement

one of these shots you have to explore a little:

she smiled at me. weird, since she was blind.

we've been to the pizza hut and enjoyed some expensive fast food.. almost as much as this guy:

in the centre pompidou.

panning action. f2.0 1/8th 125asa. chatelet les halles.. loved this station for photos.

officially the ugliest building in paris. not that i am against modern architecture.. but this black box destroys the whole cityscape of paris.. you can see it from everywhere, almost.

taking a piss on the french MC-D.

the only difference to paris and greece is that their cats are much fattier.. but i think paris has more gyros than zeus and all his mates.

cha and her sisters.. while doing some art.

actually.. no matter how comfortable or fresh these shoes might be.. i always found them ugly as shit. some people even dare to wear them with white socks.. eek. at least this person was kinda clever..

my favourite shot of paris probably. i'm pissing my pants everytime i see it. this one was a one hander as far as i remember, since cha just called me right that moment.. i told her that i'll call back, because i didn't want to miss the shot..
