In remembrance - shooting outside - of a lovely female photographer friend of mine in 2011 ..My hair was platin blonde .. growing a bit longer again lately - after it was really short before..like a pixie..
.
with flower.. I don't know exactly if it was a wednesday that day .
.
;-)))
.
She likes this kind of raw photography - without that much photo shop etc. .. and she is not that much into people photography - so we said - okay - come on - let's practice a bit - and somehow I like it nowadays .. we just changed the background dynamic now a bit and transferred it into b/w ..
.
And I just thought let's give also this a first public space and try now here in 2024

In Remembrance
.
Shortly after that - true story - I met a very well known Prof. Dr. plastic surgeon - at the tennis court - the first things he said to me - totally distance less - Oh I see - I can do sth. for you .. I - what do you mean ?
He - The nose a bit smaller and then he was looking a bit more down - and the chest a bit bigger ..
.
I was blushing - a bit between intimidated and shocked at the same time..
I hadn't expected that that moment ..
btw - for a doctor - if some might not know -
this is forbidden - they are not allowed to just tell people and of course not in public with publicity around.
.
And everybody who knows him - says - he should go at first - his answer - I - would never do that ..
.
And I always think - each woman - who is 39 - because women don't get older - Coco Chanel - said already very wisely..
they nearly must get depressed when reading a whole women's magazine - because the models are all flat ironed - in their faces - breasts are pimped like ..
legs are thinner and longer - photo shopped - etc
.
I like the companies who do the imperfect - perfect - campaigns a lot also that's why -
It started in the 90's already with the business lady who invented the first Natural Cosmetic Shops ..
