photo bomb Taken with: Leica M6, Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.1, T-Max 100, HC-110. Yesterday I had to take an unexpected break from editing, because I wasn’t feeling too well. Even though my health is reasonably ok these ...
day 355: style When it’s hot in Berlin like these days the subway becomes almost as unbearable as the underground in London. It’s stuffy, hot, humid and apparently it’s worse on some lines than on others. The ...
day 334: let’s get out of here Yesterday around 10 past 11 at night I rushed to the shop to get some gummibears. Yes, I’m that addicted. Half past 11 the shop closes, so I had no time to stop, although I ...
day 297: Nolle Restaurant I can’t tell you anything about this restaurant, apart from the fact that it is situated near the station Friedrichstraße and that they really have a shiny sign outside. I don’t eat out, because ...
day 285: what are you looking at The day was nice, so it was an obvious choice to go sit in the sun at the lake, which is really close by. On the way there we stopped by a really odd ...
day 284: walking in the sun Again I was waiting for the bus to the airport. At the airport itself I didn’t have much time to take pictures, because flights are sometimes even early. Well, pretty much unlike trains. This ...
day 274: graffiti sneaking up the stairs With this picture I took ages for the editing, since the colours just didn’t want to come out right even after trying a level adjustment 3 times. In the end I had to use ...
day 218: private property This rather interesting abandoned building lies just behind the pensioners home a couple of houses down the road. There is a path leading through a couple of backyards right to the canal and this ...
day 217: gaze This is the entrance to a housing estate with lots of smaller backyards. There seems to be only one way in and out, and all the people you meet greet you, since nobody would ...
day 172: smoking at -5°C This picture has a very odd summery feel to it. It doesn’t really look as if the temperature is as low as -5°C, especially since the guy smoking outside the building doesn’t even bother with ...
day 159: well, who are you then? I took this picture when I was just passing through my hometown these days and walked through the rather abandoned area again where I took one of my favourite pictures last year. Almost none of ...
day 146: street scene I have had my Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 for a little while now and still I’m sometimes struggling to get the pictures how I want them. Maybe it has to do with my 450D, which ...
day 62: where does it all end The other day I had a conversation with Ezequiel about cultural stereotypes. Germans for example always know how things are supposed to be and feel entitled to have an opinion on just about anything. I ...
day 61: it sure smells tasty Sometimes it’s just not possible to keep up a daily blogging schedule. I was just too tired to write last night after not having slept very well the night before. I have been struggling with ...
day 59: English phone booth in Moabit Yesterday was the day when I put the heating on. It’s getting cold in Berlin now and the weather is getting more nasty too. Originally we also weren’t planning to go out. It was just ...
day 58: dark clouds over Berlin Quite some time now I’ve been wanting to check out a street that I once drove through in a driving lesson. Back then I was pondering whether I should just stop and tell my driving ...
day 52: embracing darkness Yesterday I showed Ezequiel the turbine factories that are in the neighbourhood. Nice old brick stone factory buildings that also have architectural value. If you look at many contemporary factory buildings this is really not ...
day 50: Berlin Together with Ezequiel I resumed my habit of going for a walk in the evening to take pictures. We walked along Turmstraße until we reached the court house and the park right next to it. ...
day 48: still not loving police Yesterday Ezequiel wanted to go to a bookshop. He already ordered some books on amazon, but you know … it’s his addiction, he just likes books. And I like that he likes books, so I’m ...
day 41: curtain of water Yesterday we went to Argentina. And yes, this sentence is meant to confuse you! Actually Ezequiel and me just went to the Argentinian embassy, because he had to do some official business. The embassy is ...
