No more

While there are a lot of things I want to say, there is only so much I actually can without oversharing.
I have turned a new leaf though. I am very much into honesty these days. Well I try to, anyways.

So here I am, thinking about the message I want this blogpost to carry out into the world wide web and I am not quite sure of the direction this should take. I could tell you about my day, bore you to death cause the most exciting thing I did was clean my brother's hamster's cage. Her name is Hannah Montana. I named her. She is cute and fluffy, but oh so delicate. I am always afraid I might break her.

Though that is what I feel like with a lot of things lately. One false word, one false step, one false touch and everything could fall to pieces.
There are the obvious situations, where in a heartbeat everything can change for the worse. Like when you're speeding down the highway, 210km/h, your eyes locked to the road. And suddenly you sneeze and next thing you know you've crashed into the side rail, can hardly breathe anymore.

But besides the obvious, there is the potential for damage in every breath you take, in every move you make.
We know this.
All of us.
It is just the way people deal with this knowledge that makes the difference.

I feel like, for me, it tends to paralyse. Stop me from reaching for my goals. It make me hide, rather than seek.

But not anymore. I am willing to fight. Swoon is not an option anymore. Staying in and quiet isn't going to reduce the potential of damage. It only reduces the potential of going places, of being someone.

So this is me, pledging: NO MORE MEDIOCRITY!

Alice much?

Well Sometimes I feel like Alice
In a wonderland
Chasing rabbits
Cheshire cats and mad hatters
A better world but it's not like it matters

[..] Because it feels like
I have just woke up
In a world where down is up
And up is a long way from here

Batman's cave

Excuse my absence over the last few days.
I have been busy living.
Something I can never seem to do quite enough.
I've been busy fighting, eating, loving.
Crying, running, loving.
Laughing, talking, loving.



This is where I've been hinding. Batman's cave has quickly become my favourite place. This is a good thing. This is real.

And because I've been so preoccupied with love and life, I've got a special treat for you. Straight from the streets of Sydney: CHAINGANG - Holiday. How cool's the video, eh?


Thanks to Tee Smyth for her fabulous taste in music and basicly my favourite tumblr ever youngbloodrunswild.

Oh and my lover and I designed these amaaaazing photographyyounggun business cards. Can't fucking wait till they're printed! Keep your eyes open for some fresh shoots, fresh faces, streetstyle photos and some interesting upcoming projects. Sooo gonna be brave and modelscout soon!
As I said: in for the kill!

I found your camera.com

This is a lovely idea.
I like to believe there still are people that care.

Stupid is fearless

The 'Be Stupid' Diesel campaigns are my number one favourite advertising campaigns by far. Not only is the whole be-stupid-motto behind them quite genius and kind of what I try to live by most of the time. But they also invest in young talents like Australian wunderkid Nirrimi, possibly the most inspiring younggun there is.

And let's face it:
Smart may have the brains, but stupid has the balls!

'Someone Wake Me Up' - The Veronicas on repeat!

I recently made an active decision to use my camera more often. To breathe through my lense. To shoot all sides of life. To not be too lazy to carry it around or get it out of my bag. To go up to ppl and ask for a shot, or to just shoot them anyway. I wanna go places and my camera shall accompany me. We are gonna go places together. So here I am, using my camera as an eye. Shooting all sides of life.

Tasya Van Ree

''Every second, of everyone’s life, should always be consumed with making art. Even when you’re exhausted from traveling and have not had a bite to eat since breakfast.'' - Tasya Van Ree

If it isn't for her amazing photography it might be her filming that makes me wanna take my camera and move to NYC. This woman is inspiring in more than one way. As an artist and as a person. If there is one place I wanna be as of this exact second it would be at the opening night of her exhibition “Untitled Project”. Sipping some gin and tonic, chit-chatting with her and Amber Heard.

Haha I love this. Genius!

Memories in black and white

Some shots I took in Melbourne in March.
It is such an interesting city. Especially love Fitzroy. Drank heaps of Chai tea with soy milk while I was there. Preferably at Gypsy Bar on Brunswick st and Grumpy's on Smith st. Oh how I adored strolling around the Rose st Artist Market and quite possibly the coolest second hand shop ever: the Lost and Found Market. Melbourne my love, I'll be back!

Last saturday night

Dayum, last saturday was crazy.
Even the boys ate veggies. Bloody tissues in the bin. Blue fooddye everywhere. I feel like this is what it's supposed to be like.
Oh and another HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my longest friend Phil.
You Rock and SD!

Pull the trigger

So I guess this is it then.

PhotographyYounggun (PY) has opened fire.
Needless to say: I'm in for the kill.
