"The white bear under the right eye" Photograph - Limited Edition of 1

There are people in life you meet, you simply cannot forget. This homeless guy was Helmut. One day I saw him in my neighbourhood in Berlin. Years ago. I asked to photograph him and he was happy. I think it was the only time that I gave someone a little tip for being "my model" I portraited him a while in a nearby park and he started telling me his life story and explained his self-made tattoos, from face to everywhere on his body. Quickly it was clear, that all of his tattoos have very psychological meanings, I could not follow him at all, but he was on hard drugs as well and had much problems. Since this day I did see him from time to time and he always got some few coins for coffee or something else. And he was joking all the time. I felt so pitty about him but in a way he was a positive thinking man and he would make his way. He always wear a big bicycle chain around his neck! What for? "This is my self-protection and helps me come through the day!" I made many details from his face and body, I will show them later. These images are made with my old NIKON F5 and I think a 50 1,4 lense.
