on being someone else

mareen:

when my father, who is an independent construction consultant, told me there is a construction engineer intern position at one of his coolest construction sites schinkelstraße/les halles open from february, i thought for a split of a second that i could just take that spot to check out how it would be.

i kind of wanted to be an architect when i was still in school. i mean, i am totally happy with what i chose instead, but the chance that something else would have been as successful (maybe not as instantly) is still in the back of my mind sometimes.

i totally could have chosen to take the other way at that last fork in the road…

this is funny, i am on the opposite spectrum of Mareen. i am an architect continually thinking about being a photographer. i enjoy what i do and love the physicality of seeing a building rise from the ground and seeing what i have drawn actually be built. but i still find something so great about being a photographer (professional), it seems like being a rock star.
