Berlin Unter den Linden 2010

“10″ – the book of in-public is available since today – I ordered it right away. I’m also looking forward to visit the 10 years in-public exhibition at Photofusion Gallery in London.

‘Benidorm – Das verlorene Paradies’ is a stunning series by German photographer Nicole Strasser presented on ‘Bildwerk3′ online-photo-magazine. If you are not sure about where to relax this summer, even after enjoying ‘The Sun Always Shines (PartI)’, this will be top of your choice.

… seen on the pet-fair Berlin.

Why do people come to cities and what do they expect for themselves from their future? What are the stories that motivate them to set out for the metropoles or to reside there? To find an answer to these questions, twenty student photographers from Germany, Poland and India spread out to Berlin, Warsaw and Mumbai to take pictures for the “The Promised City”- project. One of them was Rebecca Sampson, who did a compelling photo-story about ‘Bollywood’, the dream and the reality of how to become a star. Have a look at her website to see this story along with more pieces of impressing contemporary photography.

Do you know anything about modern Russian photography? If you are interested in what young Russian photographers are doing these days and how they work with mixed media, visit “LifeSlides”, winner of ‘Enthusiast Internet Award 2008′ and get a feeling of topics that Russian photographers are curious about. Little disadvantage: texts are mostly in Russian language.

Get ready for summer and make shure to check Andreas Meichsner’s beautiful series Willkommen im Club / Welcome to the Club and Arkadia / Arcadia before booking your next holiday trip!

One of the all time favourite subjects in photography are photographic roadmovies. Rather rarely seen are photo stories about roadtrips through the Arabian word. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a lot of pictures of Oliver Hartung’s “Arabian Roadtrip” on the internet but there is an exhibition in Berlin that’s really worth a visit.

Visions and Images is an American TV Show from the early 80s. Interviewer BarbaraLee Diamondstein’s guests were some of the best known photographers of the time. Great studio setting, beautiful flower decoration and interesting talks with – for instance – Garry Winogrand.

Recently I have been asked to shoot a book release party for (small) money. The book was quite nice, the author as well, so I accepted and did some pictures for a little slideshow, which is now to be seen on Berlin-Verlag website. Enjoy if you like.
