Or just hearing?
Most people hear, but don‘t listen.
Listening means:
- pay full attention
- thinking about what has been said
- not preparing a reply while the other is talking
- trying to understand
- remembering what has been said
Did you know that when someone really listens to you, it releases “Dopamine”, the happy hormone?
The world would be a much happier place, if people would be hearing AND listening!
“Listening is a master skill for personal and professional greatness.”
In Bern, Switzerland is one of the biggest and most important book stores in Switzerland: “Stauffacher”.
Just a few steps away from the “Happy Fountains”.
Since over 10 years I have been coming to that store looking at photo books.
I was new to photography when I discovered the fountains and that book store.
They are part of my journey, spending many hours at both places. In the book store I used to fantasize to have one day my book in that store as well. It was more like a day dream. I did not believe it would be possible.
But it is!
Now officially my new book “Happy Fountains” is in the book store “Stauffacher” ready to be taken home.
No matter how big your dream is. Don’t underestimate yourself!
Mission Possible.
We all know how amazing and essential water is for life. There are many interesting facts!
But did you know that water has kind of a consciousness?
Scientist did an experiment, exposing different kinds of music to water. After it they froze the water and observed it under a microscope.
Classical, happy music produced beautiful crystals. Heavy metal, aggressive and sad music resulted in deformed crystals.
The same results were found with words. Words were spoken regulary to the water. Same results like with the music. Positive words: symmetrical, beautiful crystals.
Negative words: deformed crystals.
The average human body is about 60% water. Think about that!
Our words and thoughts have power. It effects water! How much of an impact do they then have on us and others?
Massive!
So take care what you think and say.
When the photo was taken, a cold water blast from the fountains hit me from behind.
It became clear, that this was the moment of the official release of the book:
"Happy Fountains"

Be & stay happy!
The exhibition of the „Happy Fountains” is over. At least this one. The next exhibition is on its way.
One month I have been there to all opening hours (except one day) in order to talk to the visitors.
The experience was priceless! Guests asked a lot of questions and I got the chance to talk about the stories behind the photos and about my life.
What fascinated me, that some photos made people remember special moments of their life. Everybody saw something different.
There was also a lot of laughter of joy from the visitors. One woman, after finishing looking at all the 71 photos, was so moved, that she had tears in her eyes.
Photography is dangerous. It changed my life, like nothing else. In a good way of course.
Photography can move the viewer. It can bring back memories and cause any kind of emotion.
At the exhibition there was a guest book, where people could write down their thoughts.
If you have a moment, you can discover what an effect photography can have on people.
Thank you for all who took the time to visit the exhibition and shared their personal thoughts, memories and emotions.
You enrich my life and give me energy to continue!

Within less than 24 hours different ladybugs came close to me,
every time when I had my camera with me.
