So. There is the tree on the right, and on top left of it, there's a dark spot. Just next to, top left, there is a white one. This is the moon.
Just behind the camera, the TV-Tower of Hamburg. Of course. My daily view. Hamburg. Built when I was born. Of course it's there. Even if it would be hidden in the fog, it's there.
Left - Guido. Whenever we meet, we mostly cook together. Chez Guido et Gerald. And it started some years ago (the first, I think more than ten, but frequently, the last three, four maybe), that I took his portrait those evenings. Amazing! Some faces are so diffult to portraiture, and some surprise you to pieces. This, honestly, is not a good one to underline that, but OMG he's such a pleasant object to take a portrait of. So, we did a series, each time we cook together, him impersonating celebrities (that is, always a mix of two), and then signing the Polaroid.
Polaroids I yet have to scan…
But this evening, I couldn't and wouldn't think of one. I just thought it was time for a making-of.
So here it is. With props for the photographer, on the balcony. And the tires, and the bar tape, are brown.*


*Last sentence is most important for me (I wished I would have found a font similar to the ones one scratched glassplates. If so, this long text would have been superflous -oh, I love this word-). Some marks and highlights, to focus reading. More is not needed.
