CSD 2009

The photographs from this year's Christopher Street Day, a.k.a. Gay Pride, are up now and available from the toycamera page. They are all black & white and shot with the Diana+ camera.

Holga Wide Angle Pinhole

A new camera joined my collection of "low fi" equipment, this time around a Holga 120WPC, which is a wide angle pinhole camera (i.e. it's got no lens). I took it out for a spin to Berlin's main station, and the first pics turned out really well. I used the 6x8 format, next time around I'll be trying the 6x12 format, and colour.

I've posted a selection of the pics on flickr. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

"Be Berlin" Review

The "Be Berlin" exhibition in the Luxembourg Embassy is now closed, but there are indications that the exhibition may be on at the Berlin City Hall ("Rotes Rathaus") in the fall.

Meanwhile, here is a link to a review of the exhibition published in a Luxembourg newspaper. The article is in German.

"Be Berlin" Exhibition at Luxembourg Embassy

The Luxembourg embassy in Berlin is organising an exhibition of Berlin photographs by Luxembourg photographers. I have been asked to contribute some pictures, and picked images from the yearly Christopher Street Day as a theme.

Other photographers are:  Marc Glesener, Anne Michaux, Marc Theis und Arthur Thill.

The exhibition runs from 24 June to 14 July. The address is:

Luxembourg Embassy / Maison du Grand Duché de Luxembourg

Klingelhöferstraße 7

10785 Berlin (Schöneberg)

Urban Beijing

I put together a new gallery in the Urban section, comprised of a series of urban photographs taken in Beijing over three trips in 2007 and 2008. The first two trips took place before the Olympic games, the last one after.

For more photos on Beijing, see also the toycamera section.

Remember Last Summer?

I guess a grey winter day is the best of time to sort out summer pictures, and thus I've uploaded a series of people photographs taken in July in Barcelona and neighbouring Sitges. The gallery is available from the Portrait page.
