Go-ahead: calendar 2015
I hate to admit it. 8 months break from nude art photography counts almost as intentional damage to my reputation. But somehow I had run out of steam. The past two years were eventful, successful, but also exhausting. Perhaps the break did me good. You know how it goes, if the break is too long, it’s hard to get back into it. It can be very helpful to have someone else insisting on it. Kiki just wouldn’t give up. Thank you for that – it was so necessary. This step was also made much easier for me by the fact that Hans Peter Henne was involved, actually he was the main person, my role was to be the location scout. It really isn’t so easy to get back in the groove, to just go ahead and take pictures instead of sitting on trees and thinking about the camera settings. Ideas, that used to flow out of me like a river, now only dribbled. But it definitely was worth it, because at least we have the cover picture for the 2015 calendar.
