ahh..the wave, your shadow at the end...a modern place pressed into nature..theway you work with your camera. and the camera panning at 0:57... again i have to say ...great work!
Very cool Ralf. I will put you in touch with the Chicago department of tourism. The music gives it a lonely feeling. The essence of nostalgia is a longing for what never was or what cannot be regained.
If it makes you feel any better, I'll trade my place in L.A. with yours in Berlin. =) L.A. isn't Chicago but, still cool! I know what you mean though - I miss Germany every single day. This is a really nice video you put together. Chicago really looks beautiful. It's not going anywhere though - you'll get the chances to go back. And there's so much more of the U.S. worth seeing too!
Sometimes the significance of the relationships is only evident _after_ a near miss like that. Am I right that you guys are a lot tighter now than you were at the time? I felt this with the Munich Gathering where 90% of the relationships were built after the event & you don't realise the significance at the time. Now there is nothing that could stop you meeting up at that close a distance. I'm struggling with balancing YTers, work & GF while I'm here in Germany.
When I first commented on this I didn't recognize the skyline. I have been to Chicago 3 times in my life and fell in love with the place too. The Sears Tower has been bought by some other corporation and it has been renamed. But I will always remember it as the "Sears Tower." LakeShore Drive (and lake Michigan) is an awesome place isn't it!
Hell yeah my town!

i don´t want you to be speechless. i want you to share your inner thoughts with me!
ralfonzo83 2 years ago
Right now my inner thought is I'm hungry for chocolate.
How about you?
OhCurt 2 years ago
i´m hungry for traveling. seeing new things, new people.
ralfonzo83 2 years ago
That's definitely less fattening and more enlightening than eating chocolate.

Cool Ralf! I love the shot with the camera in the mirror thingy. Did I see Samuel in this?
I am nostalgic about my last trip to Germany. I shot a ton of video and watch it every so often. We will meet the next time I go Ralf. Count on it!

You sooo need to come over. I've been pitching hard to Gary about how cheap airfares are at the moment. I found ones for him in the US$500-600 range.
