Liverpool … in pictures.

In October 2015 I moved to Liverpool.

Since January 2016 I have started using film to take pictures. This is Liverpool as I see it.

The black and white pictures are all shot with Kodak Tri-X 400TX 35mm
and the colour pictures with AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 200 35mm.

This is one of my favourite pictures. I tried to secretly take a picture of those guys on the street market around the corner, until they've spotted me and kindly agreed to pose for me. Granby Street Market, Toxteth, Liverpool

The Beatles Museum

“Their music changed the shape of my bedroom, it changed the shape of my head and it changed the shape of my life.” (Bono, U2)

The Beatles is my favourite band. For me it is as if their music has written the alphabet for the music I listened to growing up and which I still feel closest to my heart. I won’t exaggerate if I quote Wim Wenders and say that: “Rock ‘n Roll saved my life.”

I remember translating the lyrics of the White Album with a dictionary in our living room. It was a nice and interesting journey through the bending roads of the English language (try translating ‘Happiness is a Warm Gun’). And I like music and words that can take you to journeys. The more Magical and Mystical, the better.

I’ve visited the Beatles museum in Liverpool last weekend and couldn’t stop myself from taking a few pictures.

Especially for the most dedicated fan of the Beatles I know: my mother.

 

August on an island

It’s my first island experience and Liverpool gave me the loveliest culture shock ever. Nothing prepared me for the friendliness, openness and warmness of the scouse people.

And never have I been called more often ‘love’ in my life. And yes, I love it.
