Boy from the right told patronizingly touching my shoulder that
Nikon D200 is somewhat old
It was fun to shoot them
It is always easy to shoot young people
Older persons are often suspicious about something and full of false
apprehensions: “Are you going to sell picture of me?
Are you from newspaper? Are you private detective?”
It is close to impossibility [...]

I like red and green. In Graz the trams are green, and here in Vienna they are red.
I guess too much sitting with pictures makes me asocial.
After many hours of privacy I find it
difficult to bareprolonged small talks
I read yesterday letters of Vincent van Gogh to his brother.
He knew himselfhe was wild and asocial, and [...]

If you cannot market yourself, you can do nothing. In such arts, as cinematography and photography, the more gifted you are the less chances you have to maneuver smoothly
through troublesome process of advertising.
Artistic talent is [...]

In classroom with portrait of Mongolian looking Leader and quotation: “Religion is opium for people”
teacher talked about Darwinism and astrophysics mocking over

Coming back home in twilight,
I see street prostitutes in Hütteldorferstrasse during their evening shift.
Girls have extremely minimized professional outfit standing there almost nude in cold rain.
Some of them are very young.
Trying to catch glimpse of their faces in quickly growing darkness
I try to imagine what they feel.
I also see men who occasionally stop there in [...]

When they ask me what confession or political orientation I have, I reply I have none. As wisdom of meditation is to be higher than any concept or idea, my personal wisdom is to belong to any nationality, any political group, and to none in particular. Visiting meetings of Graz Baptists, Mormons, communists, new-Nazi, Greens [...]

I was taking a nap on small broken bed of mine in Mehlplatz-1 garret after sleepless night and was galvanized by crashing noise of bottle collector in the yard.
