When pressing the shutter button to take a streetphoto of ALL★STAR Chucks the first time in January 2012, the idea of a series was born quickly. What I was not aware about at that point in time, was how strong this idea would grab my attentions throughout the year.
Unbelievable how fast selective perception works. It is comparable with the following situation. When buying a unique car, you might decide for a model which is not very common. You are 100% sure that it is not common at all, especially not in that specific color. Once the purchase contract is signed you recognize tons of this model, exactly in the color ordered by yourself.
Exactly that is, what happened to me with regard to ALL★STARs. Beginning with the first click of the shutter button, I started to notice ALL★STAR chucks everywhere.
It doesn’t matter where I have been … in New York, in Mainz, Frankfurt, Neapel, Pompeji, Zürich, Köln … ALL★STARs everywhere …
What started with a simple click in January, turned into a real mania throughout the year.
