I got IT specialist (and amateur photographer) Dr. Markus Müller of T-Systems to hold still in front of my lenses and here are some fine business portraits I snapped of him within one hour(!).
Did a photo shoot for and with Thomas Rath Trousers / Gardeur yesterday. It was cool, thanks everybody!
Doris & Mike at their perfect house, also on FB.

You want to know what this all is?
My friends Peter and Ralf of jumpage had this great idea to create a real website out of a Facebook page. This means you could have a website like one of those below in no time:
The sites work and look cool on all devices, they are responsive mobile apps and web apps. You use your own domain and webspace (need just a tiny little bit).
The more details you post on your Facebook page, the better your jumpage works. jumpage uses content from all areas, such as the title photos, profile pictures, descriptions, albums, photos, recent contributions to the wall, events, notes, or contact information from the info section.
Your visitors can view Facebook albums and photos page without logging into Facebook.
Your jumpage is representing. All interaction as commenting or sharing, will take place on Facebook. For the jump to Facebook, the individual elements, such as images or events, are linked accordingly.
And if anyone visits your Facebook site, it will look all normal to them.
This is so cool because you won’t need more than one site anymore. And Facebook is easy enough so that anyone can use and fill it.
Since the jumpage guys and I are buddies, I got this 30% discount code (til May 31st) for you. – You can buy your jumpage now and keep it & change things around until forever. It is basically a website-to-go.
Of course, this all works in English as well.
Time for a new intern!
Spontaneously decided this: It is time to take a new intern.
I turned down a lot of people due to having a baby in the last two years.
But now, I have the capacities again. If you want, come learn and work with me in Bonn!
Lotsa people have done so before and I think they all liked it…

It was a double photoshoot where I switched places, the other half will come soon. These were taken by Mats.

About catfishing people / Fake profiles / Scammers
In the past years, I have received a lot of emails and messages about others using mine or my sister Vivien’s photographs to catfish innocent internet users.
Their names were Kourtney Walsh (she was used to make a company look bigger, worked as a consultant and had a whole life as well), Fallon River Clark (Facebook won’t shut her down), Lena Mischke (fictional wife of an actual person, Aaron Mischke-Pearce who does exsist and lives and works in Munich now!), Benny / River Maddox (see comments), some Ashley and many more whose names I have already forgotten.
One of them was a cancer doctor and collected PayPal donations of people willing to help, others just broke hearts, received gifts from their lovers, met up with “a sent friend because the other person is in the hospital”, other ones threatened to hurt the family of the fooled ones if they spoke out to the public or police.
This happened to people in Mexico, the U.S., Germany, England, and many more – and these are just the ones who found out AND told me.
One time, in 2010, my sister’s real profile and all her connections got deleted permanently after I had told Facebook that the fake character Maureen Fishinger was using her photo. Facebook is not responding ever, they simply don’t care about their mistakes or if they can’t see how something is wrong at first glance.
So far so good bad.
I am not even diving deep here – I haven’t spent more time on the topic than hearing about it and maybe trying to tell facebook or whoever runs the sites.
There is probably much more about it. You may have more stories, and if you haven’t yet spoken out, go ahead and email me (don’t worry, you may use your real name before me).
Four simple rules:
1) Please, never fall for anyone on the internet. Don’t tell them about your personal life in order to avoid making yourself vulnerable. 20% of Facebook profiles are fake.
2) If you see a story wrapped around images, do Google’s reverse image search (click the camera symbol).
3) Don’t forget to make lots of screenshots.
4) Also, please, let the people know you have found out AFTER you have reported them!
Love, Mareen
PS.: I have been sent a couple more fake profiles after I wrote this post. Here are some, they are still online. As long as you are not friends with them, you won’t see a story. Maybe confront them: Summer Cosgrove, Susan Caraway, Steffi M.
Ralle and I are a band now, called »The Retrospective«

Her hobbies are understanding systems and solving problems. She is a perfectionist and hyperactive at times.
