RELOAD - 28 JAN 2017
"Ich war die letzten 5 Jahre krank und 6 Jahre in einer Beziehung, die ich im Dezember 2015 beendet habe. Dies hat zu der Entscheidung gefuhrt, dass ich nach Australien komme und alles mache, was ich noch nie zuvor erlebt habe. Mit diesem Fotoprojekt wollte ich euch an einigen Erlebnissen teilhaben lassen. I've been ill over the past 5 years and in a long-term relationship over the past 6 years. After getting well again and breaking up with my ex, I knew I need to go out and experience something new, and of course I've also needed a plan to get over my ex. With this project I wanted to share my backpacking stories and how I've been experiencing Melbourne so far. Life should be an adventure, every day. It took me three days to shoot all the pictures and different scenes and I enjoyed all of them. My favorite part was me covered in Vegemite. One of the first things I've learned in Australia, was that every Aussie adores Vegemite. Due to the fact that I'm allergic to wheat I can't eat Vegemite, but I knew it would be an awesome picture. So I started covering myself with Vegemite, all over my body, my lips, my fingers. I had Vegemite everywhere. My lips tasted all salty and it smelled really bad to me. I was glad I don't need to swallow it, because of my allergy. I spent one of the best days here in Melbs at the Etihad stadium. A tinder date of mine took me to a game, because I wanted to have the all Melbournian experience. Covered in at least 3 scarves, a cap and with nails painted in the Bulldog colors, sitting next to 6 (a bit bogan) footy enthusiastic guys, I saw the dogs win against Richmond. Go dogs! If you're expecting a big love story, I'm sorry to disappoint you, we met as friends and we stayed friends. When you're travelling abroad it is more important to get good friends, instead of hook ups. I guess a few people saw me taking pictures all over Melbourne. I took pictures at the Flagstaff Gardens and the gardeners were working while I was taking pictures, I guess it was a really awkward situation for both of us. I really enjoyed this experience. It was definitively a travel story, which is worth telling, but I guess that most people won't understand it! So it will be kept as our secret. Pssst!"
