Yesterday I had, together with 10 of my classmates, my big ceremonial.
The „Gautschfest“ ( couching festival) at Neu Ansbach at the „Hessenpark“
It’s an very old tradition for Mediadesigner and Printer.
It started that the „Kornut“ ( that was me and my classmates) will be put at a stool with a wet sponge. Then „Spongeholder“ makes you wet with an other sponge over your head. After this 2 people catch you and let you fall in a tub full of water ( and it was cold!) and will dump two bucket full of water over your head again.
I screamed like someone wanna kill me XD But it was so funny!!!!

A few pics from the day:

At the morning, we meet us in a Café at the Hessenpark for: COFFEE

I was voted as the Best Portrait photographer 2009 at Deviantarts TheDeviantAwards.

I was nominated together with amazing photographers like Lara Jade and zemotion.

So I even can’t realize, that I’m the winner and not of these amazing woman!

After nearly a year, Isy and me met again for a photoshooting.
We went into the forest near her house. There is a wonderful place with old stones and meteorites into a little lake.
Because of the last hot days without rain, the lake was empty, so we could go to the stones and take a few photos there.
I’m hopefull to do somre photos there again, when the lake is full of water.

We finished the day with an icecream in a cafè and we forgett the time.
We sat there 3 hours, and talked about so much stuff. Lovely day
