		<title>odo book dummy&#8230; and some thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

So my book dummy arrived last week. yay :-)
It&#8217;s kind of funny to notice the different &#8220;feels&#8221; a particular image has, depending on which medium, or in which circumstance, you view it.

		<title>sugar</title>
		<description><![CDATA["Sugar" is a story about Birgit, a six year old sweet kiddo. She’s been diagnosed with diabetes about a year ago. Incurable. This story is about how, through her, I myself am being confronted with the fact that her illness is much more of an issue to me than it is to her. She taught me a lesson there... The things that are on top of a kid’s list, should in fact be on top of anyone’s list:

Life is about playing with friends and family and having fun as much as you possibly can.

These intimate, close images, are freeze-frames out of her daily life. Random. Lots of different moments. Almost no visual context. Bare essentials. More about feeling the moment than looking at the moment.

There is no beginning and no end. A collection without order. You will recognise inside, outside, darkness, light, a bike, a bed or even a beach. But they are all irrelevant...

Just try to hear the laughter, hear the playing... Remember your own childhood... Feel like you’re there up close with her, her brother and her sister. Sometimes she will notice you and say hi. Sometimes she will play and laugh with you until her stomach aches. Sometimes you feel like you need to let her be, dreaming.

She stares into the sea.]]></description>

 their fears
 their hopes
 their secrets
 their shames
 their inability
 to do anything about it…

“i’ve got so much to do, so much to achieve, how can i ever have the time to do it all…”
