Happy birthday!

OK folks, I’m really pissed now, I’d have never thought that it would come to Berlin, to Kreuzberg: a TINY glass of wine! Normally you get 0,2 liters and it costs whatever … from 3,50 to 8 € which is all ok depending on the quality of wine and location … but today I had the choice between 0,1 and 0,5. I asked the young nice barman what if I am thirsty and would like to have 0,2 and he answered: then I’ll bring you 0,1 twice and you will have clean glasses each time!
Well stick your clean glasses wherever you like but 0,1 is just ridiculous! I don’t need homeopathic portions, I need a genuine old fashioned portion, I need something in my hands, I need something that I can rely on.

Plus … now it’s getting really oberspiessig (square / suburban): their glasses have EICHSTRICHE! I can’t believe it! A white mark on the glass saying this is 0,1 liter and don’t go beyond! Don’t step into the land of plenty! Don’t exaggerate! Don’t drink full pleasure!

We feel good here!

… and a good way to reuse your plastic water bottles!

… opening soon!

There’s a new spot in Berlin, a little burrito shop, yummy big portions, Burritos and Quesadillas for 4 €.
At Kottbusser Damm which is a very ugly but also very lovely and lively street, I’ve lived there around the corner for so many years … I still like it. Go there and munch! It’s number 8 I think, close to U-Bahn station Schönleinstrasse!

A very bad photo of a very good fresh tattoo!

Me, teaching cool film tricks!

… your beards off, you hipsters 😀

My brother and me, we are setting up our new dark room! Analog photos and films! Workshops galore! Meetings and work and fun!

One long week in Berlin: a festival all about analogue photography! AnalogueNow! An exhibition of great photo works and many many workshops. One of the workshops: mine! Developing black&white super 8 films in ecological stuff (such as Wurzelpeter bitter schnaps, coffee, flower tea …).
6 people, 5 hours, 4 film rolls, playing, filming, walking in the sun in Berlin-Lichtenberg’s beautiful and empty (industrial) streets.
And then: big surprise and fascination how it is possible that „simple“ non-poisonous things like tea made from local flowers and weed, brandy and coffee are so strong to develop a film into a b&w negative with great grey nuances, strong contrasty blacks and whites.
Yes!
Let’s do it again! More workshops soon to come …

I will have a darkroom finally. A real darkroom, part of an atelier of a friend’s. Shared with my brother, the photographer. More films, more analog experiments, more „real“ photos, more playing with matter, juices and chemicals, light, friends. Yeah!

… for summer!

…. in only one day. They popp up. They come. Life continues.
