Burleigh Heads, Queensland
Australia
September 2019
I visited my family for a month and I barely took any photographs, at least not analog ones. On one of the last days we went to Burleigh Heads to walk around the headland, watch the surfers and look for whales. The afternoon sun was setting low and hard in the western horizon. I took this with my back to the ocean, looking into the end of the day, knowing soon I’d be flying in that direction, back to Germany.
Paris, France
July 2019
One week in Paris staying at a friend’s parent’s apartment. What a dream it is to be in Paris, to walk into a boulangerie and buy a croissant or pain au chocolat, to eat it standing in the street, sugar, butter and chocolate melting in flaky layers in your mouth.
Matera, Italy
June 2019
After Bari we got the train to Matera, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. (Am I remembering correctly 7,000 years?) There are homes built into the rocks, the town itself is in a valley. It’s achingly beautiful.
Bari, Italy
June 2019
We booked a June trip to southern Italy sometime in the late winter when we needed something to which we could look forward. It was only four or five days long but it was everything my pale, sad self needed. Gelati, pasta, focaccia, italians, drawing, beer, wine, sitting in the sun, looking at maps,
San Francisco, CA
November 2018
Four days in San Francisco, or was it only three? We flew from Berlin for our friend Dan’s wedding to Erin. The airline lost my bag and Vic had to lend me something to sleep in and some make up for my jetlagged face. We ate as many tacos as we could, Tyler drove us to see the ocean, the wedding was joyful and sweet, and afterwards we flew to New York to pick up the belongings I left there in storage in 2016.
