SOSCHMECKT auf der TTM 2013: Thailand & Cambodia (19 Pictures)

Mark Olan — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:01:24 +0000

Ihr habt es ja vielleicht schon mitbekommen. Ich war auf der TTM+ 2013 (Thailand Travel Mart Plus) um den “Sense von Thainess” wieder einmal zu spüren. Auf der B2B-Veranstaltung sind bis zu 60 Länder vertreten, die sich alle auf dem Gelände des Impact Muang Thong Thani Convention und Exhibition Centres wiederfinden, um sich über Action, Eco-Trips und Must-Go destinations austauschen. Ich wollte etwas Neues! Ich wollte diesmal etwas anderes sehen, denn hier wurde mir klar, dass die meisten Leute überwiegend die selben Orte auf der Liste stehen haben: Bangkok (must go for me, family’s here), Phuket (last time at age 2, can’t remember it and it changed unfortunately, but still beautiful), Chiang Mai (spending quality time with family there too), Ko Chang und Pattaya (sehr geil, been there, done that). DEN Nordosten Thailands jedoch habe ich nie erkundet. Also begab ich mich auf Tour und kann euch nun schon einmal mit ausgewählten Eye-Candy Bildern aus dem Land des Lächelns sowie Beautiful Cambodia versorgen, inklusive Trailer. Check the pictures below!

I went on tour, this time over the border to Cambodia. Many of you probably have been to Bangkok and the South, but I witnessed the wonderful life in the East of my country! From there I made my way to Cambodia to really get in touch with locals and to see how they live and what they cook to feed their children. See the thing is, if you are on journey and you are looking after those things, you come back as a different person. Besides fantastic hotel rooms, nice pools and crowded street markets it’s the authentic smile of the local people that you only get, if you look for it.

Sie wollten alle mit auf’s Bild, Thais sind immer nice: here @ Sikhoraphum Khmer Ruins.

On my way to Siem Reap I met this guy while I was grabbing a ~~yummy~~ cricket.

Kanye West New Album “Yeezus” (Full Album Stream)

Mark Olan — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 16:23:41 +0000

Man!! I wonder how long it took him to finsh this album! If you ask me, I’d say “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” is still his strongest onea. I still don’t know what to say about his 6th studio alblum, not that I want to blend in with all the other critics, I somehow somewhat enjoyed the opening with “On Sight”, nope… kidding: WTF! Some other songs however: ” Blood on the Leaves” and “Black Skinhead” “Bound” are totally fine with me. All in all, let me put it this way, it’s some real interesting “YE-shit”. I mean like all the other folks, I’ve been spending the last couple of hours digesting “Yeezus”, I was listining to it the night through, with headphones, without’em blasting it in my room. Man!! I find myself having a hard time trying to get the right answer here…how good it really is, talking about awesomeness. I mean GREAT. Huuuh… it’s something obviously, at the end I bet he always knows what he’s doing…but c’mon, can it be Classic? Are we expecting classic shit from him? See, the thing with Kanye is, you always find yourself admiring or enjoying his music, as far as it concerns me, but what now? Should I wait to see him live with this one. Dayum, I can’t give you the answer, we will see – ~~admire/enjoy~~ check the full album stream:

Lukasz Wodynski Paintings (7 Pictures)

Mark Olan — Thu, 30 May 2013 13:06:57 +0000

The art works of Lukasz Wodynski are somewhat controversial and dark, if you check his website, you will get an idea of his creative mind. He is interested in the horizontal system of the axis of birth, life, death and defecation of a human organism. He’s creating single figures, often times gestures and particular situations, somewhat mysterious, still using enough colors. A bit too dark overall, but his paintings can look pfucking awesome, once they blend in with your interior. Below pieces of his exhibition:

I am fascinated by the notion of time and the game of body and time. Transparency and mutual merging of the two create continuous interaction, transformation and transgression.”

– Lukasz Wodynski

Mark Olan — Tue, 28 May 2013 09:17:48 +0000

It seems, photographer Murad Osmann is never bored! There might be plenty of time left to travel around the world as a producer of music videos. As we see here, he’s spending a couple of days in New York City with his girlfriend.The russian photographer composes each shot in a similar fashion. Normally, it’s the landscape that we see from the his point of view with his extended hand holding onto his girlfriend’s in front of him. In addition to that, I am glad to get some NYC flavor that tells me once again, why I got so much love for the city of all cities!

Nicky & Max’s Bauhaus-Inspired Food Photography

Mark Olan — Sat, 25 May 2013 07:49:42 +0000

Berlin-based photographers & creatives Nicky and Max did this realy cool Bauhaus-inspired shoot, which combines fresh fruits, some other food and simple color and composition. Often times less is more. Nicky worked for 10 years in London as a photographer, then moved to Berlin 3 years ago, where she met Max. Now they are working together, working both on new ideas and finding fun blogging about it. They describe how the platform has helped free up their creativity by removing the ‘money’ aspect from the work they do. Check foodlive and their Blog and the pictures below:

Monika “Jac” Jagaciak for German Vogue by Greg Kadel (Pictures & Video)

Mark Olan — Fri, 24 May 2013 13:08:22 +0000

Ich will meinen, das diese Bilder mit Model Monika Jac Jagaciak ganz für sich sprechen werden. Fotograf Greg Kadel hat das polnische Model für die Deutsche Vogue abgelichtet und zeigt uns richtig schöne Bademode, wie sie nicht besser in Szene gesetzt werden kann. Wenn ihr mich fragt, würde ich liebend gern meinen Sommer irgendwo verbringen, wo ich dauerhaft weißen Sandstrand von der Tür vorfinden kann, um mich dann bei angenehmen 24-27 Grad lässig in eine Hängematte fallen zu lassen – geht aber nicht, drum schau ich mir auch hier an, wie Model Jagaciak fast die Hüllen fallen lässt – nice body, sehr gut im Video unten zu erkennen:

I wish I could be at the beach all summer long, hot days and laying in a hammock. We really need to get to a beach folks and photographer Greg Kadel shows us why. He shot Monika “Jac” Jagaciak in this sexy swimwear for Vogue Germany. The blue-green water and the sky were very helpful to show Model Jagaciak in various styles. Wet hair, dark shadows and an arched back were all great choices to create very sexy photos.

Aimed Faces / Sonderedition – Township in Cape Town by Tomas Rodriguez (18 Pictures)

Mark Olan — Tue, 21 May 2013 09:35:24 +0000

Eine interessante Sammlung und ein wirklich authentisches und großartiges Gesichter-Portrait aus Südafrika mit dem Namen Aimed Faces. Die Einwohner Kapstadts, leben in Ort Khayelitsha = Neue Heimat, ein Gebiet, welches am Stadtrand liegt und mit ungefähr 1,5 Millionen Einwohnern einer der größten Townships in Südafrika ist. Über den Fotografen Tomas Rodriguez habe ich drüben beim Kollegen Ben etwas gefunden und bin in wenigen Sekunden auf seinem Blog gelandet. Der gute Mann liebt Cape Town, und ich weiß warum! Ich habe zum Glück auch im Township Zeit verbringen dürfen, viele nette Leute getroffen und vor Ort mir gutes Essen einverleibt. Leider habe ich nicht so geile Bilder geschossen und mit nach Hause gebracht. Der Fotograf mit Hauptsitz in Köln, arbeitet im Fashion-, Werbe- und Lifestylebereich und das eigentständig seit 1999. Ich mein, was für Erinnerungen, hätte ich das mit eigene Augen gesehen, hätte ich Gänsehaut bekommen. Es ist schon irgendwie komisch, wenn man da ist, teils sind alle gut gelaunt, jedoch spürt man manchmal so eine leicht unterschwellige negativ behaftete Energie, die einen gedanklich zurückwirft in die Zeit der Apartheid. Hier nun die aimed faces:
