results from the first 50 submissions of the questionnaire from earlier (my account only saved those, the rest was emailed)
assumptions: only one male said he unlikes me. typical, because most of the time this happens with girls.
none of the people who know me personally do not like me. although i know that i polarize.
i have read that this blog comes across as fun/quirky but also as not personal enough (purposely, because this is what one should avoid for obvious reasons) and that people might get the wrong impression that i am arrogant (this was written by people who know me).
and most people have respect for me/my work. thanks yo.
the person(s) who visit my blog although they hate me more than anything may stay away :)
and sorry if i sound discouraging to trying artists, i don’t mean to.
i will respond to some of the questions now:
IMG_0977 – yes! that was the easter egg.
why is this a required field? – because that was the main field, the rest were accompanying questions to understand the rest better.
can you measure how much of your work is acquired by your web profiles? – i can not measure it, but many people come from recommendations or my portfolio site.
are you gay? – no, but i have had two girls ask me this before in real life, too. i could hardly be more female, am just rather cool with everyone and have many male »talents« (orientation, crafts). plus i am not into girlish behavior (gossip, gossip magazines, make-up craze).
is stefan single? – yup.
1. what’s the key to being a successful artist/photographer? 2. what is most important in your life? 3. if you only had 1 photo left to take. what would that be? – 1. work hard, love it and have »the eye«. (sorry but that is the truth to me). 2. feeling comfortable! 3. would need to take some time to decide this.
what’s your goal concerning photography? – that everyone knows my photos and my name.
did you eat at space burger that one day? – never have
why do you do this questionnaire? – because i am always interested in that kind of info and giving some relevant back.
what are you going to do on your holiday? – this time: relax on the beach. normally: combination of work and relaxation in the form of experiencing a new place.
what’s your connection to the connected ventures guys from early on? – i was friends with zach first, whom i met in germany in 2002 (through a friend). since then, we were on different holidays, in different combinations and i lived in nyc for a couple of months.
the impregnation question – haha!
(might update if more come in)
and to the person who wrote: »following your tumblr has inspired me to start up my own photography business and get out there and live it.« – this is awesome! all the best.
