Let's not soil the water...

Almost 10 months after my journey to Nairobi, Kenya I just went through my archives and found this shot unedited:

A woman carries a canister filled with water next to Nairobi's second biggest slum Mathare on February 21, 2010. An approximate Million of poor people live in Mathare under poor hygienic conditions and without proper water supply.

According to UN-HABITAT due to urbanisation, by 2050 up to 2 billion people will be living in slums.

"Isolation, Deportation, das ist deutsche Tradition"

Asylbewerber demonstrieren am Samstag (03.07.10) in Gifhorn (Niedersachsen) gegen menschenunwürdige Lebensbedingungen im Wohnheim Meinersen (Landkreis Gifhorn) und gegen die deutsche Flüchtlingspolitik. Sie fordern die Schließung des Wohnheims und die dezentrale Unterbringung in Wohnungen.

In einem Gutachten im Herbst 2009 hat der Flüchtlingsrat errechnet, dass eine Unterbringung der Asylbewerber in Wohnungen viel preiswerter für die Kommunen ist.

funky punky

Police arrested a participant of the annual punk gathering in Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany on Saturday (15-may-10). Due to high police presence in the city centre the gathering was dissolved very soon. No one did buy this picture. An agency even argumented as there were not enough "trouble" and fights between the police and the punks, it would not be of interest. I only had some marginal trouble with the officer in the (right) background claiming later I'd had pushed him away...

75 years - هفتاد و پنج سال

این عکس رو حدود یک ماه پیش با یک دوربین فیلمی گرفتم، امروز رفتم نگاتیو ها رو از لابور تحویل گرفتم. نصف فیلم ها به خاطر یک مشکل دوربین که فکر می کنم گیر داشتن دریچه آن باشد، سوخته بود. خلاصه، سوژه آقای فروزانپور است، که در شهرستان بونده آلمان به همراه خانم عزیزش زندگی می کند. این زوج مدتی در این شهرک گلفروشی داشتند. من هم این افتخار رو پیدا کردم که یک روز قبل از تولد 75 سالگی وی به همراه دوست عزیزم آذرخش برای نهار میهمان این زوج نازنین باشم. این ماجرا حدود یک ماه پیش بود. دوست دارم دوباره به عکاسی آنالوگ برگردم.
