blog tag: Berlin

strangers 2 and 3 of 100

On Wednesday when I was walking past a chicken grill on Turmstraße right across from the subway station I was quite surprised that these two Turkish guys wanted me to take a picture of them. ...

day 97: steeple and flying bird

On Wednesday I had a last driving lesson before my 4 hour drive on roads connecting smaller cities and villages. It gave me a reason to go out during the day and I wandered around ...

day 95: movement

I took this picture on Monday when I went to my typical practica, the one with Gaia and Leandro at Nou Mitte. It was quite dark which explains that this picture is way too grainy ...

day 92: down below: turn left for the real stairs

On a quest to find some interesting subjects to photograph and to buy some boots I went to the Ku’damm again on Friday. Somehow I find the dark these days so restrictive. My nights I ...

day 91: down below: urban butterfly

Last night I was dancing tango at Villa Kreuzberg and I had such a great first tanda with one of my favourite leaders here in Berlin that I immediately decided not to let that be ...

day 90: down below: pacing

These days on a Wednesday night I go to a tango lesson with Leandro and Gaia at Nou Mitte. I’m quite picky with tango teachers, because I had quite a few lessons that didn’t seem ...

day 89: detail

Last night I went to tango really late. The subway wasn’t running anymore and I had chosen to take the bike as to not wait for half an hour for the night bus. The streets ...

day 87: a sunday in autumn

A long walk in the Tiergarten together with my mum prompted me with this beautiful scene. It was a golden autumnal day, quite warm and sunny and the leaves were falling. Although Berlin has lots ...

day 86: St. Paulus

I didn’t have much time yesterday to take pictures, but on the way to the supermarket around 10pm I took this picture of the catholic St. Paulus church which is just on the next block. ...

day 85: blue vespa

Yesterday my mum arrived. She is staying for the weekend and I took her to tango last night. This was also a good opportunity to try out my tango shoes after getting them changed and ...

day 84: one inviting door

Yesterday after my driving lesson I took my tango shoes to the cobblers in Calvinstraße. The heels needed some repairing and I think the shoemaker also found a way to solve the problem with the ...

day 83: down below: Turmstraße

This picture I took on the way back from my tango class yesterday. There is something special about the almost sterile looking tiles in combination with the grubby floor. At one of the other stairs ...

day 81: down below: moving without movement

On Monday I was on the way to a tango class with Leandro and Gaia when I took this picture. All day long I felt uninspired to take pictures and I had a long driving ...

day 79: señor bunny

After you have already met yeti, my trusty hot water bottle, I can now introduce you to Emil, or more appropriately: Señor Bunny. He is a very well travelled bunny and has visited Germany, England, ...

day 78: fallen

I actually was in a negative mood the other day and chose a different photo as a result. I’m glad that I went back and had another look over the pictures I had taken, because ...

stranger 1/100

A while back I read about the 100 strangers project and thought that it would be great to try to do a project like this myself. Since I’m out taking pictures every day it seems ...

day 77: autumn leaves and church window

The other day I read this very interesting post about the dangers of starting to teach tango too early. I have been thinking about these exact issues the last few days after going to a ...

day 75: standing tall

For a while now I have had problems with my tango shoes. In fact I always had trouble with finding the right shoes, because the arch support is never in the right spot to actually ...

day 73: dragons won’t eat this

In almost every tango scene there is a leader with the nickname “Terminator”. Sometimes there are even two or three of the kind. It’s hard to pinpoint whether the nickname specifies a certain quality of ...

day 72: cracks and ripples

I have noticed this broken window already months ago, but only now I managed to take an interesting enough picture of it. The window is part of the shop front of what used to be ...
