I started a , I didn´t had any better idea than name it "song portrait", since the photographs were taken during gigs or/and before and after them, traces of today´s music. I was living in Berlin and got a deal with a shop to feed me with unlimited films + develop in change of a priceless archive of a vast and unknown music scene. First I posted every two months a bunch of pics under a social-reporter section vibe specifying place-date-and characters involved. After a year I changed my mind and disliked the profession-reporter format so I stopped posting, deleted some posts, but continued taking pictures. In between the deal with the shop stopped and I moved away to the west, and started a venue with friends in Antwerpen, Belgium. In two years and a half I had taken many photos which half were still inside films that I just happen to develop a week ago (january 2014), photos not only taken in Berlin and Antwerpen but mostly. This page will change again(maybe not)to remain here as a fix corner of the past, a loud and extravagant corner that some of us will continue listening in the future.

The two very similar characters playing
guitar and singing are 2/3 of the band SUN WORSHIP.
I saw them playing on Friday night at Schokoladen,
and truly haven't experience such an intense
gig since then.
After that we went again to Naherholung Sternchen
and the rest of the photos are from

This was a happy weekend with the best gang ever.
The day before going to Leipzig I did a jam
with Sam aka SAMOLN. The first pic is his
house studio. The next pic is me. Then you can see
Nicolas wearing a paintball/motocross mask playing
a BLUE STORK set. The boy smiling next to him is Markus
from D.I.Y.CHURCH and this(and the one bellow) are
only pics of him online.
That really happy person on the left with a wolf
T-shirt is Elia, half DAS and fully EXTEENAGER.
The boy on the right is DER WARST. The one with
the tropical cap saying hello to the camera
is JOHNNY HAWAY. Back on the left in the
last dance pic is our cute driver Micol.

BY HARUO - SFTSTPS - SULTAN BENNY
JULY 10TH 2012
All did started thanks to fashion !
I was invite to play for Berlin Fashion
Week at the Lomography Shop. Instead of
paying me in cash they offered me to
choose any Lomo camera I'd like and many
films too, black&white,
dias...........I accept the deal and
choose a mini diana model "petite noire",
recommended by photographer Takeshi
Suga that had his exhibition
opening the same evening. Only three
weeks later I returned to the shop and
finally got the camera. that sunny day
was friday Then at night I went to
loophole and finished the film, took
thousands pics of BY HARUO, the man
of the endless masks, only one pic
of SFTSTPS sitting next to his computer
and a candle and some of SULTAN BENNY
playing his trumpet.
______________________________________________
I started Song Portrait after
I got an analog camera as payment for
performing a indias indios set at the
Lomography shop in Berlin, for the
"Berlin Fashion Week". So far nothing has
change in my routine, I continue doing
the same things that keep me alive,
like playing music, listening to music,
organizing gigs for my friends and for bands
I like. The only difference NOW, is
that(almost)every time I go out I take the
camera with me and apart of having
all that fun I take photos in the meanwhile.

This was the first fresh description I wrote
when I did the first post:
"Dear Internet pirates, citizens
of planet earth, citizens from unknown
planets and universes,It is my great
pleasure introduce to you a new chapter
in the Caleuche_Video activities.
Song Portrait will present a series of images
of people playing music, friends, music
divos and divas, music monsters, things and beings,
and in the future hopefully naked people
having breakfast and things like that".
