Self-Suffering

nobody@flickr.com (Anh Tu Nguyen Photography) — Mon, 06 May 2013 14:09:32 -0700

You ever worry about the gap between real self and ideal self? Most people have a gap between their real self and their ideal self called incongruity. The greater the gap, the more incongruity. The more incongruity, the more suffering.
Have you ever remembered the envious feeling when you saw someone having the active, in-tuned life you wanted? When you saw someone with such incredibly gifted talent? What's stopping us from living our life?

We are all influenced by those around us to some degree – in particular by those who help develop us in our most formative years, and whom we love and generally look up to - our parents. We grow up, innocently absorbing and latching onto their values, hopes and aspirations, unwittingly making them our own. And of course, there's society's standard which also strongly influence our behaviours and the way we choose to live our lives.

But what do you really want in life? What makes you happy, what makes you passionate? If you are lucky (and smart), you will start asking these questions early on in life. And, although anytime is a good time to start the journey to self-discovery, the earlier you do it, the more quickly you will come to understand who you really are and the sooner you will aspire to be, accept, and embrace that person.

I got so much emotion hooked-up retouching this piece because i had been there once: didn't feel happy, found this life frustrated, had no goal and dream in life, felt a self-suffering and self-conflict taking place in me. Until i found Photography. It has taken me on a self-discovery journey and it has changed my life forever.

[1000 Strangers] #47 (57) Dr. Horst Kluttig

So the past weekend, my girlfriend and i visited the NEA wind turbine. This plant is located in the Euro Wind Park between the districts of Aachen Laurensberg Vetschau and Orsbach in Ochsenstock.

The wind turbine Visitor centre of the NEA was established in 1999 and they named it Windfang (english translation: Wind catcher). Since then more than 10,000 visitors have already experienced the generation of electricity from wind from up close in small groups. A spiral staircase in the tower leads to a viewing platform at 63m height, just below the nacelle. I am a little bit surprised that worldwide, fewer than a dozen wind turbines are so equipped and there is only two or three wind turbines with the observation deck in Germany. From this observation deck, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Aachen region.

But there is one thing, one person that worths more than magnificent: the tour guide – Herr Doctor Horst Kluttig: the mastermind behind of all this. He amazed me with his plain lifestyle.
He is the manage of NEA (New Energy Agency – he has been working for NEA more than 25 years) but every sunday, he is here. Whatever weather, cold or warm. Winter or Summer. At this wind farm. In the past 11 years. Introducing and informing people about the benefits and the future of wind powered energy. He has put so much energy into this project and he talked about this with such enthusiasm. Since everything were only in the blueprint till now. The effort took years, with many people coming and going, but Herr Horst Kluttig remained at the center of the effort along with a core group.
And he doesn't even have an agenda. He just wants to spend time working for the community, to carry a message: Wind energy delivers a multitude of benefits to communities. It is sustainable and creates local jobs, wealth and economic revival, it helps fight climate change and improves our energy security...
Today, Herr Horst Kluttig must have to feel pride and proud of his self when this master plan is cited. I take my hat off for what you've been done!

[1000 Strangers] #46 (56) Serhan

Aachen is not a big city but as a multicultural city with thousand faces, it has surprises in store at every street corner. It seems like diversity has become the new orthodoxy of city planning. You do it wrong, the city ends up being a mixed-up chamaleon. But if you do it right, you will love where you are.

Serhan is one of thousands faces of Aachen. I see him a countless times at the pedestrian street into Elisenbrunnen, right in front of the Foot Locker store. But i didn't have a chance to talk to him until yesterday. It was a rainy day and i almost decied to called off the quick photographic run because of the weather. But it was a blessing in disguise. The currywurst lover were busy hiding from the rain so i went towards him with thought that i don't have to cut the talking with him down to size without interrupting his business.

His name is Serhan, born in 1975 in Aachen but i always call him "The Bratwurst Guy". He amazed me by telling me that he has been doing this 9 to 5 job for eleven years. Everyday except Sunday in eleven years means 3444 Days or 27552 hours standing still and carrying the currywust counter. Though he uses the supporting pole for the counter but it is still pretty awesome. But how did he come up with this idea? He saw it once in Berlin and he has been doing this in Aachen ever since.

We talked lots of other stuffs and he is so interested in Vietnam's street food. He hopes he will fly there one day to see it by his own eyes. Good luck, The Bratwurst Guy!

What if we find ourselves beneath the snow?
Our warmest words all frozen in our throats?
And all we feel is left out in the cold?
You and I?

Well, even the winter won't last forever
We'll see the morning and we'll feel the sun
We'll wake up in April, ready and able
Holding the seeds and soil of our love

What if the spring comes soon
and we're surprised?
What if the seasons help us realize,
some things are only proven over time?

I can tell spring is near. I feel the spirit, the freshnes in the air. Just like you wake up and spring is already here.
The weather is not too hot and not too cold. It always is just right. The gentle wind caresses your face and the breeze murmurs in your ears that it's the change of season. It seems like the weather makes people happy.

I met Alexis on a April Monday like this. He is a super cool dude. Nice, friendly, openmind, talkative, charming and charismatic. Kind of dude you can talk about everything with when you first met. He even gave me some advice about the model release. That i don't have to write it too long and too complicated like that. That it's a model release, not a novel. Though i didn't write it! But thank you Alexis. Been such an honor to meet you.

The unusually long winter in Europe this year has really done me in. The cold has held and still has the country in its grip and things do not warm up before middle of April.
Most areas remain just below freezing for most of the week and the dry cold air make it seem much colder.

In the depths of winter, maybe you and i find ourself wanting to sleep more and eat more. We packed our bodies close in our shelter and sleep tight. For the record i don't want to go out in this weather but as a human being, we can't and we don't hibernate. We have to work against that cycle.

So what's i do. I always change the subject and the way i approach media each season. In summer i can spend my whole day outside "hunting and shooting". In winter, i work with my warm computer at my room, thinking, planning, retouching, getting some ideas... Somehow more inward and reflective. And i wait till spring beckons my door...

But once in a while, when you get out of your shelter, you will see something nice, meet someone sparkling. Pedro is such a enthusiastic guy. It seems like he's full of energy and all. I hope that your dream being a football player would come true!
