Here is a picture I found last weekend in the photo box at my parents house. Its one of those pictures where you begin to ask what is this... and what is that.... the beautiful strange flowers on their heads and why do have the for man on the left cigarettes hanging out of their mouth but only the man in the middle (first row) is actually smoking, and one is squinting and the other is the only one with a leather jacket, to say nothing of the stuffed animal and doll.
Unfortunately my mother doesn't know much about it besides that the man in the second row on the right hand was the brother of my czech grandmother.

Jesus Lizard in Berlin
Fuck yeah! Last week I've been to the only one Jesus Lizard, THE show in Berlin. It was hot. It was grand. It was soaked. It was loud. And David Yow dived into the audience again and again.
The show was definitely one big highlight of the year. Gracias!

house sitting
I'm house sitting a bit at my neighbors and I have to say I really enjoy this... not only that I get to take great pictures from the astonishing light in there and the sweet view of all the kids toys. But also I try to catch some sun on one of their two terraces, surely naked. The other night, it was full moon, I slept there too. I felt asleep under the stars and got woken up very early by the morning light, the full moon still shining...

Tree Stump
Those are the remains of the tree I've been doing photos of last year... remembering one of the first spring day, the trees in full cherry blossom, and me and Dillon climbing up the tree to take photos inside the passing magic.

On The Road Summer 08...
On The Road from Vancouver, Canada to Los Angeles, CA... seeing lots of tall and old trees, the Celebration of Light with thousand teenagers, the wild Pacific Coast in all its shapes, making a wild fire and jumping on dunes, beautiful sunsets every day, great old motels, delicious Espresso in Oregon, freezing in San Francisco, hot Yosemite, finally the great city of El Ay... Das Beste ist und bleibt das Licht!

To Loose Oneself
Boy and Girl, loosing themselves into the Night
I woke up as the sun was reddening; and that was the one distinct time in my life, the strangest moment of all, that I didn't know who I was... i wasn't scared, i was just somebody else, some stranger, and my whole life was a haunted life, the life of a ghost...Willenlos, exhausted, nicht wissen wohin, ruhelos, müde und aufgeregt zugleich, late night and early morning mood, raw, aufgelöst sein, transzendieren

Dedicated To The Plain People
Felicity can be,
Spending the afternoon in a park,
creating pictures with Jackson,
who likes to catch the special mood from the plain people.
The huge smelly dog,
who welcomed us taking a shit in the middle of the lawn.
Its name was Dante.
The blond haired girl,
making noises like a mouse while nibbling her popcorn.
The guy with his shirt with the word Gerüstbau written on it.
He just came from work, a Gerüstebauer.
Aishe, sitting on a bench and doing huge bubbles with her chewing gum.
And the tree climbing girl,
like a monkey she went up and down.
I forgot my mask in the tree.
Somebody else, maybe a little kid,
frightens now her parents with a strange mask.
I got sad news,
my grandmother died yesterday morning.
Just before I had this beautiful afternoon shooting with Jackson,
who likes to witness the plain people mood,
which means happiness.

First Anniversary
It's time to celebrate!
One year ago I did my first Polaroid photos. It was at the Fusion, a great alternative festival near Berlin. Of course I had taken pictures before, like everybody, but the trashy and likewise beautiful plastic polaroid camera changed things...
...For me, making pictures is similar to doing music in my teenage life, where I tried to release my Angst and transform the aggressiveness... - "look your demons right into the eyes" (thanks Bonnie Prince Billy).
...I love to get inspired in totally different moods, and the best ideas might come in when I'm lost. Or being in an hang over, when the mind and body is so exhausted that it has no control and will (willenlos) and everything is just going going going without the borders boundaries barriers, without the moral judgment one constantly keeps in his mind.
...I've been creating pictures which were described as soft and touching, and going back in time. Now I would also like to create pictures who open you for gloomy moments, as happiness isn't everything (remember the demons).
I saw a new road to love the world I'm living in, and this road is like a dirt road but hopefully has no dead end... I'm high-spirited and keen on to drive this dusty road...
Thanks to everyone and everything who is supporting me. I need you.
love

p.s. Fusion, I'm coming!
p.p.s. Total aufgedreht und müde zugleich, empfindlich sein und unvernünftig, willenlos und voller Ideen.

Diane Is Looking For You!
Dear Blog Readers,
here is another chance to get in front of my lense!
I'm currently looking for new people to shoot...
You are twenty-something (read 18-30), good-looking, open-minded and young-minded, relaxed and fun to shoot with. Please introduce yourself in an email (you'll find mine on my website) with a few lines about yourself and include your stats and attach recent photos. Please be prepared to sign a model release.
I'm currently planning my summer projects - including driving around, swimming in a lake, hanging out at night... basically being outdoor, preferable in nature. I'd like to produce a certain madness; I want to loose us in the heat of the day as well as catch the twirled and overtired mood of the late night. Remember, we will have fun!
Looking forward to your mail!
Diane Vincent
p.s. thats for Berlin. LA California will be on from end of July.

"Stories"
I'm asking myself... should I tell stories or shouldn't I? I kind of like the idea to show pictures without posting big words, you know, show the pictures and everybody can look at them with his own stories, ideas, dreams, thoughts, fantasies...
But what about telling stories in between? Little things like this:
Today I had come over another boy for my new series" boys boys boys!". He came in, and after a short amount of time I had a good feeling about everything and also about him being relaxed. As we started the shooting I began to look for my picture, and I searched for a while. The light.,.. the pose... and so on.But what about telling stories in between? Little things like this:
I know from posing myself that this search can feel quite strange to you as the posing model. Whatever, me being now behind the camera I'm all about for the search.
And then, all of the sudden I remembered my model having still his chewing gum (you can't chew a gum in front of a camera...) so I asked him to take it out. And I got the answer "I swallowed it, accidentally." I was like... no way... come on... but he really swallowed it!
I guess my model was just a bit nervous as I was... Swallowing a chewing gum accidentally... After one second I was back on my search for the great picture.
