Commit to Color 2010 – #11: green

Tag: PhotographyChrissara @ 8:20 pm

On Friday at noon I met someone for lunch. Since the weather was so beautiful, I decided to walk part of the stretch to the restaurant. While walking along the main street, something flew into my hair. Now I am happy that I looked up, in order to see where it came from. Because only then I actually realized, how green the trees on that street were.

The world’s largest convertible

Tag: Delights,PhotographyChrissara @ 8:53 am

After having a season ticket for three years and having seen many other games before and after this period, finally the tour of the soccer stadium in Frankfurt followed. I had given it to my father as a Christmas present and it was about time we went there and did the tour.

The meeting point was at the east side. There a group of about 20 people gathered. Some were dressed in an Eintracht Frankfurt jersey, others really were asking for it: one arrived in a Dortmund jersey, a young boy even in a Bayern Munich jersey. And if that was not bad enough, it was one with RibĂ©ry’s name on the back. Comment of the tour guide: “My boy”, and points and his jersey “you are at the totally wrong place here with that thing on.” Lovely start!

Commit to Color 2010 – #08: light purple, #09: sand-brown, #10: light blue

Tag: PhotographyChrissara @ 7:26 pm

The last weeks I hardly found the time to take photos. Between my last week of this semester, an important Birthday celebration and its organization and a visitor from the US family, there was not much time left. That is why now I will catch up on the project: second last (#08 light purple), last (#09 sand-brown) and this week (#10 light blue).

Commit to Color 2010 – #07: black

Tag: PhotographyChrissara @ 10:04 am

Last week’s color BLACK in the project Commit to Color 2010 technically is not really a color. That is at least what my Physics teacher told me in seventh grade – a time when I actually was a little interested in Physics. But now to my week’s photo: there are many black things and at first I thought of just simply taking a photo of a black screen, but then I came across this…

On this photo is my moleskine calender. If I ever lost it, I would be totally messed up, since I write everything in it. From appointments, university homework, notes, thoughts, addresses, numbers… It is a part of me. On top of the calender is another part of me: my cellphone Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. That also is always in my bag and has been through a lot already.

Yummy cold coffee

Tag: Delights,PhotographyChrissara @ 7:47 pm

For some people it may be really an old hat, but for me it was THE discovery of last week. One of my favorite coffee places has (finally!) brought cold coffee into supermarkets! Of course, I could not decide which to take, so after a quick look into my wallet, I simply took one of each flavor.

Notes: 3

The order of the photos (L-R) is also the order in which I tasted them. After I drank the last one today, here the positions on the podium of all-favorite cold coffee.

Commit to Color 2010 – #06: brown

Tag: PhotographyChrissara @ 12:43 pm

The project is in its sixth week already – and I still have fun committing to color this year. This week it is the color brown. And no where else do you find the color brown as often as in sweets. But it was not too easy to find a kind of chocolate that actually had also a filling, which was in a different shade of brown than the outside chocolate. But: it exists!

It is the Ritter Sport a la Mousse au Chocolat. Really yummy if you put it in the fridge for a few days prior to eating ;)

Commit to Color 2010 – #05: orange

Tag: PhotographyChrissara @ 11:13 pm

If you mix my to favorite colors, red and yellow, you get this weeks color: orange. So actually, one would think that I have many orange things, too. But that is not it. After looking around there were only two things I found in my surroundings, which are orange. Of course I could have taken something like a carrot or an orange, but I thought that was too simple.

The earrings are from a surfer store in the USA; the pillow from a Swedish furniture store.

Victorious Cooking

Tag: Delights,PhotographyChrissara @ 10:03 am

Actually, I am not superstitous. Actually. But it does not hurt anyone, if you continue to do things that worked once before, right?

I am talking about the idea that my family had some time prior to an Eintracht Frankfurt game. We ate Frankfurters and sauerkraut and Frankfurt won surprisingly against Bayern Munich. Since then we decided to always eat something of the particular region or nation.

During the WC 2010 it is not any different. And: It has been working perfectly! Here a small overview, where I also was able to test my newest plug-in (ImgNote):

Commit to Color 2010 – #04: light green

Tag: PhotographyChrissara @ 11:59 pm

In the last week it was all about the color LIGHT GREEN. And I realized that I have very little in light green. I do not even have a clothing piece in that color and that means something. Maybe it is because I like a strong green better, but that color’s turn is in a few weeks.

Now to the photo: The weather is finally beautiful and sunny. On such days I like to lay in the park and picnic, do stuff for university or relax with a few friends. Always present is also a little snack and since one or two weeks also my new picnic blanket, which I really love. And all that together mostly looks like this:

Commit to Color 2010 – #03: Purple

Tag: PhotographyChrissara @ 7:26 pm

It is my first time that I have to hand in an article to this project late and I deeply hope, this does not happen frequently. But during my short trip I had enough time, to think about what to photograph for the third color. Last week it was the color purple.

When I was young, I really like the color purple. One of the main reasons was probably, because my mom did not like the color at all. A little rebel I suppose. Today I only have very few purple clothes, and they are all not as deep as the color on the icon on the left. But luckily, women do not only have clothes, but also make-up…
