We sat in a small bar the other night, my friend introduced me to a beautiful acquaintance of hers who then introduced us to two more regulars. It was the five of us drinking on the smoky bar and only my friend who wasn't A PHOTOGRAPHER. Simple math: 4 out of 5 Berlin's drinking residences are PHOTOGRAPHERS.  

And another sunrise over the city.

A hard core music festival at one of Berlin's squatting symbols, followed by a commercial clubbing night and a sunrise on a river bank.

 Scattered all across the park: beer, weed, half naked, still white bodies. 

Closed streets packed with movement. Festival, sudden rain, demo, clashes and festival again.

Days of early summer.

Memory.

Memory of victims, of soldiers, of friends, of fathers.  

The days of the holy memory.

Celebrating death, joining in sadness that will bring more of the same.

Why do we need this public ritual? doesn't personal memory worth enough? 

Remembering the loss together, forgetting the loss of others.

A morning at the Job Center and then into an extreme power and entertainment display at the O2 arena.

Next day I am spending half a day at one furniture giant and then helping at a beautiful Vokü event(public kitchen)spiced with the saddest Indonisien loss story and a tender condolence gesture.

I am being thrown between economic ideas and experiencing peoples very special views of our world.

Standing at the Job Center long line led to more bureaucracy.

Going out to the warmth.

I found traces of the photojournalistic instinct.

Smells of alcohol, sweat and weed on a park bench.

A NEW IDEA FOR A PROJECT.

A witch told me my life is going to be OK.

When you walk through the streets you see old things.
