OK, I am OFFICIALLY P*SSED OFF WITH WINTER. Where do I go and complain?
After some wonderful warm and sunny days it started snowing again yesterday and it hasn’t stopped yet. Yes, I know, climate change and all that. But does that have to happen in my backyard? Wasn’t me who broke wind and I don’t eat cows either. Well, maybe the occasional one. Small one, mind you. Tiny, really. I mean, how much methane can they have produced?
I admit this photo is photoshopped. A little. Hardly noticeable, really.
Olga took this picture of me yesterday with the Lumix shortly before we left for shopping. I used the liquify filter to adjust my facial features to my mood and adjust my appearance to match with my avatar. OK, perhaps this is a small interpretation of the truth. The honest truth is I look like that all of the time.
I placed myself before a well known Stuttgart landmark, the Kunstmuseum in town, also known as the Cube. Finally I added a supporting cast of glaciers, heaps of snow and parts of frozen waterfalls.
Please forgive me for not adding the detailed stock list. Truth is I didn’t note down the links of the pictures I chose. All of them were creative commons from flickr, wikimedia and deviantart.

When I saw “Adam” I had this idea to place him in a paradise scene. I thought about where paradise must have been located originally, and concluded that since most stories in the bible take place in North Africa I needed a modern day landscape from that area. I came across this landscape shot from Senegal and knew this had to be what paradise looked like today. I placed Adam in paradise and went looking for a suitable Eve. My stock purveyor of choice lockstock on deviantart delivered for me. Now all I needed was something Adam could point at (the modern day equivalent of the apple) and a general atmosphere that supported the story. Voila: 21st century original sin. My interpretation of the classic paintings depicting paradise.

Some of you asked what the pictures in this series looked like in color. Here is one to show you.
In case you are wondering. The painting is from Rosa Bonheur and is called “The horse fair” (painted 1853-1855) and was a gift from Cornelius Vanderbilt to the Met in 1887.

During the Cat Wars, patrol duty was known among the soldiers as being “Out on the Cat Walk”. The men looked forward to these patrols with some trepidation. Meet kitty during your walk and you were in serious trouble.
