saturday 30th was parade. you know the gay/lesbian/trans etc parade.


miriam with little hair adjustments for the big day !

the first and only shot with exposure metering that day. my M is a pain in the ass and the bessa isn't fixed yet. crap but gotta live with it.



random shot in the subway. reala100 ;)


on the parade. i tried to focus on people "around" the parade.. since the funky ones will be photogrpahed to death anyway.

so i concentrated on mainly visitors, photographers and everyone that seemed more or less hetersexual, so the "guests" that day.





man on a serious mission (short SM)


parade is starting.


another man on a SM


switched to b/w. because i thought i'd only shoot one roll.. that's what i thought before i had 3 beer and almost a bottle red in during 30 degrees... it was stupid but fun. i didn't remember half of the photos i took..

so excuse the somewhat sloppy compositions and sometimes really bad exposure guessing.

two men on a serious mission.


"do not disturb" the photographer, he is on a really serious mission


more SM almost PM (professional mission)


my favourite truck. one snapped a picture of me on the left.


some of the visitors prepared for a long stay.


he seems VIP


koarl, over there is the nakked woman !!

serious business.


definately not gay (short DNG)



DNG..

it feels very serious.


professional photographers know how where to stand.


two real SMs. looks like they've been long in the business.


cute.


young man on a serious mission. maybe soon a professional. he's got the look.


this shot is not about dogs.



young lady delivering very important messages.


no doubt. professional photographer on a really serious mission.


watching from save distance.


um. i don't know any sensible comment for this one.


i don't want to translate. cutting feet. i was drunk that moment already.


hiding or changing cloths ?


apx is over. changing back to reala.

had to pee. went to some toilet. that was me in the bathroom taking a picture. i was on the most serious mission probably.


visitors by accident ?



club kreativ. where the parade meets the wachturm. (austiran inside joke)


more austiran inside jokes.

the funniest thing on the parade. of course the green party and the social one is represented on the parade, each have their own truck..

the ÖVP, the conservative, chrisitan party is of course not represented. this year some folks faked a ÖVP-party presence with some totally wack messages.. it's seriously funny.


definately not gay. kinda a pity that his wife is covered behind the man with the hat, because she herself was covered in black cloth, except her eyes.

wonder why he is filming there.



man with juvenil portrait of self on t-shirt.


serious missionar



got lost ?


more very SM


she/he the human being in pink, was glowing in the sunlight.


DNG family


DG


DNG


professional mission


DNG couple



DNG and SM


big boss greeting me !


DNG couple. her shirt says "you make me sick" wrong day to wear this shirt ? i leave this question open.


ohhhhh double SM !


sir anthony on a SSSSSSSSSSSMMMMMMMMMMission


lesbian quartet ? i leave this quesion open to you again.




also on a serious mission.


nice old man with nice tshirt. probably not 100% right though. let's stay focused.


3 sober policemen


some moments later.

for austrians "auf höchster stufe"


fighting for the best seats. i miss some "horns" and middle fingers though. would make a nice frame.


on a serious mission too.


DNG(!) couple.


those are rather schwul


serious outfit for serious mission


very serious look for very serious mission


and the party goes on


huiiii



DNG (deluxe!?) couple


"want some ?"
he's pretty suspicious. the flare is kinda funny here. it's as if god wants him to have a puff


later... an intimate moment


on sunday, friends and i did some kind of alternative barbeque.. i'm not going into details now.

shots from the day aren't develeoped yet.

starting with evening now.



there was this "welcoming drink"
we all assumed it would be some strong alcohol. which was correct actually, but it's a bit more than that.

not everyone got one. some declined with thanks as you can see.


first contact. doesn't smell very dodgy. hmm.


let's have a try.


kinda strong. like twice a tequila. hmm.


other's tried it as well


had the same thoughts and reaction obviously.





but now to the funny part. after the alcohol taste was gone, suddenly your throat and mouth starts to burn like fire.



and it won't stop.





so what's the miracle about it ? it's "chili schnaps". hardcore stuff.. real firewater !

i tried it too of course. it's incredibly uncomfortable..






it was her idea to have this wonderful welcoming drink. she knew about the special aftertaste of course... so we forced her to have one herself.





there you go !!



here she feels it !!!


later i was chilin a bit.


while others played gladiator.


there was a cat too.


we did fire later.


i tried myslef in BULB here. 12 seconds to be accurate. i was sitting on a bench. it was pretty dark ;) trix400 f2.0 those lights on the right are tea warmer candles... you can imagine the darkness now.


we did more fire.




and played "kubb" dunno how to spell it.

I guess you were also critically eyed by all the pros with their big zoom lenses.

Some of them gave me super funky looks when they saw i was using a 30mm fix focal lens (on a dslr); i'd even go as far as to describe the looks as disrespect.

So i guess you must have attracted even more attention with your film camera.

Anyway, it's good to see some colour again.

have a nice day

That's great again. I'm following your blog just a few weeks, and I really like it. I'm trying to develop B&W films, so I'm independent. But you are very good and inspiring to me.
I really liked the flare with the dog, the firebreath and the gladiator photos.

greetings,
Christel
