my friends and I shot a video to a cover of marina and the diamond's song "oh no" that I did a couple of months ago, I thought it'd be nice to share.
take care, stay safe
thanks to all the people that appreciated my latest photo "disconnection". out of those that I took within the last months it's definitely the one I'm the proudest of.

why I've lost touch to this place
4 min read
I don't quite know how it happened that exactly tonight the idea for creating a post like this crept up to me, and the longer I think of it I see no particular reason either. it's one of these things that rambles in the back of your mind for long enough, yet you're never too aware of it ... and all of the sudden it bursts out to the world, or it is willing to, and you are the one to choose if you want that to be.
now I've been on this website for long enough and it's either me or the website that changed in order for me to feel about it the way I do; even though I believe it is not quite the latter. I remember these times where I adored this website and it meant so much to me so I ended up spending ages browsing the width of galleries and art we have on here; now that hasn't changed, I'm still fascinated by some things that I find.
yet what something inside of me started to think is that this place has become yet another place that just scratches along the surface and doesn't dig deeper into it .. the signs are everywhere. god forbid the front-page which has never been more than pure commercialized or "cute art", also the eagerness of people to comment which often results in two-word-compliments rather than critique which merely has the purpose to remind us of their existence rather than actually commenting on the art, I also see it in the title of groups "hotmenandboys" or "morethan200favorites" or "getattention" or "iamjustonthiswebsitetobeadored", and eventually in a lot of polls that end up sounding like "I am not sure if you like what I do, so what do you prefer, naked girls or cardbox men with bokeh? whatever you choose, I'll do more of it because I don't do art for myself but for you"
I know this sounds very harsh. I don't intend to insult specific people, but just to point out the general attitude that I find on here. I just want to remind all of you of something; "art" is an expression of thought. it's not to be adored. it's not to please people. it's not to receive attention. alright, who am I to say that, some of you might say that I have "no right to say that because you have like a gazillion of watchers" ... but what do I need hundred people merely pressing a button? to those of you who still write; who take the time to look at something, to think about it and to get inspired; I want you to know that what you are doing is very appreciated, and what matters when it comes to art. of course having people look at your art is good - but a number won't measure its value.
just keep in mind that art is not something to consume but something to appreciate and to get in touch with. try to look beyond things. try to understand.
even if seemingly no one loves what you do; as long as you love it, it will be true. and you do not need to depend on what anyone says.
some people on here give me hope, and that may be the reason why I am staying. or because this website made me to who I am today.
also a great shout-out to BeauCyphre for never staying quiet about things.
all of you, take care.
love,
nikolas.

I need your help.

All you've got to do is to answer the following question; what are some negative things happening on this world? anything, if it's feelings like hatred or big things like corruption in the politics; so?
I mean, this is a weird question. It's for a photo I'm planning and I've already written some things down into my notebook, but maybe I'm missing out on something really important and I just need to know. So go ahead. Write down what bothers you on this planet or in this world and we'll see how I can involve it later on.

I'm running late with this, so I better do it now than never. It's just, I've been terribly busy these last weeks and I barely got around answering any of the messages I received on here ... I'm sorry about it, I feel as if it is unfair; you take your time and write so much feedback and compliments, and it takes me years to reply to them. but holidays start in one week, so I suppose I can get back to where I used to be by that time.
also, a huge thank-you to everyone who send me a message or wrote a comment on my page on my birthday. it had been a beautiful day and I was happier than ever to see all the messages you send me. I appreciate it a lot, and it means something to me, still, even though I barely come on here anymore.
but maybe things will change. I'm still not sure.
all the best.

memento to an artist
2 min read
this morning, still a little tired from the night because of back-pains and an upcoming final exam, I went onto my Facebook and stumbled upon some unfortunate news;
the lovely and wonderful Lisa-Schneider, former lisalein, passed away after a terrible car accident she was involved in. and on that note, I just want to speak out my condolence and unhappiness over this incident ... it just kind of hit me, along with so many other people out there, really hard. lisa had always been one of the artists I admire the most, one of these people that just stood out for what they are and what makes them so beautiful. I'm going to miss her around, even though we hardly spoke for the last few weeks, she just kind of changed my attitude and opinion on so many different things, she inspired me and still does and it's just ... not fair this had to happen.
I just wanted to write this down somewhere. I hope Lisa is up well where ever she is right now, and I just wish all the best for everyone involved and affected by this. may she rest in peace!
