When I was....

...twenty one, before I had to do military service I traveled through the sahara alone with my motorbike. I am still proud of me that i did that since it took a lot of courage to leave home alone. I learned to trust my own opinion, you could even
call it instincts. Before I left I went to my parents house, where a friend of them told me: "You will be killed, most certainly! My son, let me tell you: last year a good friend of mine ended up being raped in prison on a trip like that. Dont go!"
I became insecure and asked? " where did that happen?" hoping to
adjust my route acordingly. He said: " In bolivia, or somewhere around
there.
Thats why i am so stubborn.

I went to see the documentary movie about Cildo Meireles, a brazilian contextual artist.

"See this link for more about it."
I loved the stuff he does.
Also, I think the iPhone makes great photos with it's lousy camera.
