Photos and descriptions of the spaces where creative minds create. Interviews included. Not only how their daily environment influences their output, but also what’s on their desk and even what’s in their fridge.

So here’s to a Januray present for myself.

A UNESCO world heritage site and apparently of the most visited Indian tourist attractions. Wonder why?

Originally there were 85 temples but only 20 remain well preserved 1000 years after the “erection” which begun in the mid-9th century and went on for 250 years. I wonder if the workers had a hard time focusing?

Khajuraho: One-on-one, orgies, up-side down, animals – all fantasies and/or experiences are openly portraied. Wunderbar!

Berlin October 26th – 29th.

Curios to see what this new fair is all about.

Definately on the upper half of my travel wish list.
Las Pozas, the work of British dandy Edward James in the jungle of Mexico.

But I really felt sad when I learned this morning, that Steve Jobs had passed away.
Somehow I wanted to show my respect…

If you haven’t watched it yet, do yourself a favour and spend fifteen minutes on watching this video where Steve talks about “Connecting the Dots”, “Love & Loss” and “Death” to the Stanford graduates back in 2005.

And then remember, it’s a wonderful life…

Could become an addiction.

Just wondering. In a city like Berlin where there is so much “freie Fläche”. Street painters seem to be a phenomenon that existed in the eightees? And in Mary Poppins.

And what about hop scotch? We left it with our childhood. In the eighties. Along with the street painters. And did hop scotch only exist in villages (it did in mine – I’m from one) or do they do it in big cities too?

So many questions on a Thursday afternoon….
I say bring out the chalk this weekend!

Metal, rubber, tiles, wood, paint, fabric – heaven for creatives. Donate or collect – not sure though, if it’s for everybody or if you need some kind of “I’m creative” ID. Call them and find out.

The Warehouse in Berlin Pankow.
