A weekend with Yuna and Bilitis

 

Ich liebe solche weiße Glieder,
Der zarten Seele schlanke Hülle,
Wildgroße Augen und die Stirne…

Reinhard Döhl (1934-2004)

Last weekend Yuna came to visit Bilitis, Max and his friend George.
The four decided to make some photos at Max’s house and out in the countryside.
Well, guess what happened! It ended up in a big shooting and they had a lot of fun together.
Here is only a fraction of all the pictures they took. Come back later to see more of this series.

Emily and the Wild Meadow


It’s the first time that Max went out for a photo shoot with beautiful Emily.
They took photographies at a rivulet and a jetty at an idyllic little sea.
Bilitis joined in and an impressive set of pictures arose out of this collaboration.
At the end Max took some polaroids of the girls while they where lying in a wild meadow.

Here are two of the polas Max shot. The other films are already on the way to be developed.
Be back soon to see them posted here.

 

Le Cheval Oublié



Mit einem Dach und seinem Schatten dreht
sich eine kleine Weile der Bestand
von bunten Pferden, alle aus dem Land,
das lange zögert, eh es untergeht.
Zwar manche sind an Wagen angespannt,
doch alle haben Mut in ihren Mienen;
ein böser Löwe geht mit ihnen
und dann und wann ein weißer Elefant.

Sogar ein Hirsch ist da, ganz wie im Wald,
nur daß er einen Sattel trägt und drüber
ein kleines blaues Mädchen aufgeschnallt.

Und auf dem Löwen reitet weiß ein Junge
und hält sich mit der kleinen heißen Hand
dieweil der Löwe Zähne zeigt und Zunge.

Und dann und wann ein weißer Elefant.

Und auf den Pferden kommen sie vorüber,
auch Mädchen, helle, diesem Pferdesprunge
fast schon entwachsen; mitten in dem Schwunge
schauen sie auf, irgend wohin, herüber –

Und dann und wann ein weißer Elefant.

Und das geht hin und eilt sich, daß es endet,
und kreist und dreht sich nur und hat kein Ziel.
Ein Rot, ein Grün, ein Grau vorbeigesendet,
ein kleines kaum begonnenes Profil -.
Und manchesmal ein Lächeln, hergewendet,
ein seliges, das blendet und verschwendet
an dieses atemlose blinde Spiel . . .

this beautiful poem of the German writer Rainer Maria Rilke, called The Merry-Go-Round (Jardin du Luxembourg), instantly popped up in my mind when I saw the old rotten horse between the wild flowers and grass. Memories of child days came along accompanied by the sound of a hurdy-gurdy and the light was just right on this summer morning for a beautiful photo.

This picture can be purchased as a personally autographed and dry stamped print (limited to 300 worldwide) from us.
Sample pictures of dry stamped and signed pictures can be seen in the shop
