Had you not ever had the question where all the chicken, chicken wings and other chicken stuff is coming from? Today assist Russell and for us it was allowed to visit a huge chicken company. I saw where they grew up, how they were killed and finally what they produced out of them. Later on had chicken for lunch. Maybe it sounds cruel but it was really interessting and to be honest almost everybody of us eats chicken.

1001 chicken… The way it is.

The studio of Russell is big. But after a bathroom company build a bathroom set for the annual bathroom shoot the studio morphed into a small place with less space. But nevermind the nice chocolate bathroom is huge and beautiful and got a comfortable shower with stair for shaving legs (!) and a big spa bath (funny in german language: whirlpool) for more than two persons. And everything in modern style but a kind of retro seventies style. To be honest I got some new ideas for funny photos in that scenerie… you will see soon…

This is a very comfortable computer furniture system. You can use it in diffrent ways and it is good looking and hide most of the cables. Almost the whole day we shot diffrent variations of this system below for a furniture shop around the corner not far from the studio…

This wednesday should be the day were I learn new skills. How to use special cameras with filmrolls, not the progressivest form of photographing but still existing and thats why a must for assistants. We drove to Hamilton to a new builded and not opened yet Woolworths supermarket. The claim of the new ad was “We bringing the super back to supermarket” and should show people who are real employees in the Woolworths. They all have their aprons backwards like a superman cape. The Woolworths heroes. It was quite funny and I tryed my best withe the films. In fact for the photographer I was to slow with the rolls. Never mind. Today was just a portrait shot of all of them, tomorrow the superman shot.

After the funny bottle shooting (you can see some result photos at the entry of 03 of May 2006) I got the brilliant idea doing more funny bottle shoots because after the weekend these bottles are still at the studio of Russell. So I had asked him and we were thinking about funny themes for it. Finally we found my camouflage dress what fits me perfect and an idea was born. So after meeting for breakfast on Saturday morning we went to a costume shop and I bought a kind of machine -gun and a full metal jacket. Back in Russell’s studio we create a fitting cool atmosphere. Brown background and I worn my dress, the full metal jacket. Took the gun in one hand in the other the bottle of Tequila the only thing I could rescue in war. Later on some oil with water drops on skin for sweat and ready was the perfect soldier. Russell made wonderful pictures. Normally I don’t like pictures of me but they look good also think about I’m not a professional model. Later on I did pictures of Russell as soldier. We had so much fun. Maybe will do some different ones soon.

“SAUZA Banditos – Blood of the Revolution” or “SAUZA Banditos – The Taste of Revolution” ?

Do you remember the famous picture what went around the world once? I knew it from early National Geographic Issues. In Auckland at the end of the world I got the opportunity to meet the famous photographer Steve McCurry. He hosted a lecture in the Art Gallery and I got the chance to go. Russel got two tickets and asked me for coming. I myself tried for two weeks to get tickets – in vain. After he was talking about fascinating adventures he experienced around the globe it was possible to let sign books by him. I actually bought two books, one for me and one for Scott. Strange that they offered a big book signing but excuses later there had only a few books left. So you can’t imagine how quick I was at the little bookshelf buying two of the last four or five books (Only Sanctuary the book about the temples of Angkor in Cambodia). Then I was waiting in the line for letting Steve McCurry sign my books and asking him after a few pictures of the two of us, especially for my blog. He seriously is my biggest inspiration. We had a quick chat where I’m coming from and that he stayed in Berlin in 1989 when the wall came down and all that stuff. Later at home while looking in my signed books I realized that he dated the signings with May 4th 2004.

Near the place where I live today I had a shooting with Scott. It was for “Living & Giving” again and was located in the nice old villa of Brenda, the woman of Brando the advertisement company. The model arrived too late and so they wanted me to wear a special belt with heaps of funny flowered garden tools. Finally you will not see my head but I was surprised how well done the photos looked like. Later on we shot dishes on a table. You can’t imagine how difficult it sometimes could be to find the right angle for bowls, spoons, glasses, bread and soup. The following impressions I did for giving you a little impression.

After working on Monday and university on Tuesday (holidays are actually over) I thought I could sleep longer this morning but around 8:00am! I got a TXT message from Russel (www.russellmeek.com) asking for helping him assisting while shooting heaps of bottles full of alcohol. So I tryed to be as fast as possible but took the wrong way to his studio and had to walk at least 1 hour. Belive me – that was exhausting. We had a fun day Russel, the custumer girl, Mandy (friend of Russel) and me. Learned how to set up light for indoors and product shots witch made on special reflecting material like glas and metallic.
