Singapore Part 1

March 29, 2020 by 53weeks

The decision to travel to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur at the begining of February was not easily made. There were 30 odd confirmed cases of the Coronavirus in Singapore when we left for south-east Asia, looking back 6 weeks later and Germany has just hit the 60,000 mark with the whole planet in dire stress….. Looking back I think we maybe should have stayed down there! Stay safe folks and take care! Leica M9; Leica M9M; Summicron 35; Summilux 50; […]

Luftwaffenmuseum Berlin – Part 1

March 22, 2020 by 53weeks

The current situation allows me to get around to all the things I’ve been wanting to do for ages…… so here’s the first post in the Corona crisis. Here are a few shots taken at the Luftwaffen museum Berlin which was formerly RAF Gatow until German reunification. There are lots of different aircraft and a lot of military equipment on view from both sides of the iron curtain. Leica M9M; Leica M9-P; Summilux 50; Summicron 35; Elmar 21; VSCO

If don’t do this everyday then you make mistakes.

Bogensee…. from dictatorship to ruin…

August 31, 2019 by 53weeks

Quoting Wikipedia: “Bogensee is a small lake near Wandlitz in the German state of Brandenburg, located about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of the Berlin city limits. Bogensee is known for the nearby former summer retreat of Nazi minister Joseph Goebbels, located approximately 500 m (1,600 ft) northwest of the shore. The premises were dedicated to Goebbels by the Berlin city administration on the occasion of his 39th birthday in 1936; he had an extended country home erected at the site until 1939, including a private cinema, a bunker, and adjacent SS barracks. Co-financed by the UFA film […]

February 15, 2017 by 53weeks

….since I last posted anything. To be honest I’ve been searching (as ever) for a little inspiration for a new project lasting 53 weeks and I can’t seem to settle on that “one” subject. It’s not for the lack of ideas it’s just that that simply I don’t want to confine myself to one type of motive or one medium or one of whatever….. Therefore the next few posts will be of things that I’ve been shooting over the past […]

Metamorphosis – Teufelsberg (Berlin)

August 30, 2016 by 53weeks

The Teufelsberg is an artificial hill in the middle of Berlin. It is made up of the rubble that was cleared out of the heavily bombed city after the war. It is the highest point in Berlin and lies in the former British sector. The British and the Americans built a listening post on the top so they could intercept messages far into the eastern sectors. After the wall came down the occupying powers withdrew and the numerous investment projects […]
