 Today I ran an event on my photo group where we went to Pfaueninsel (Peacock Island). From 1793 the island was used as a summer residence by King Frederick Wilhelm II and his wife. Wilhelm III added a farm and menagerie to it. The animals were eventually moved to Zoologischer Garten but the avery and… Thank you Carsten!! Beth Dear Beth,  I held a photo critique session Saturday with my group (Photography in Berlin) it was a good turnout considering the following facts: a) it was raining b) it was a late Saturday morning c) meet up is notorious for no-shows We looked at movement as the subject of choice – how to shoot it, blur,…  I met Drea recently. She knows a bit more about video/time lapse, I know a bit more about Adobe Lightroom. We several hours looking at work and finding answers to each others questions. I tell you what, sometimes two heads are better than one. Like, now I know how to shoot with my camera where…  If you’ve been in Berlin a while, before long you’ll see what I call the Bubble Man. The Bubble Man, otherwise known as Peter Pan Seifenblasenmann or Peter Pan the Soap Bubble Man is often seen around Berlin blowing bubbles. Not just any bubbles, these bubbles are massive, amazing bubbles that captivate everyone that passes… Thank you Sylee – yes the bubbles are mesmerizing! My daughter will watch the bubble makers for hours. Your shots are magical.  Cough, cough. Splutter, splutter. I’m a bit under the weather at the moment, third day in and I’m fed up already. At least I have four full series of Mad Men to while away the hours. Pure indulgence. Sniff <reaches for tissue> sniff. B  Today I’m taking the slow road. I caught some sort of lurgy on the weekend. At the end of Day 2, I’m now starting to feel a little human again. The last 48 hours have been slow. Slow to rise, slow to make decisions, slow to move. I always take my health for granted when…  In my continuing series of portraits on people living in Berlin, my newest one is on Elmi, beautiful Elmi! The text is written by Elmi herself. I hope you love these images as much as I do. Bxx Elmi “Today I woke up on the wrong foot. I had a bad night and must have… Farah, you are SO right!! She is beautiful. xx U are beautiful inside out gf.  Today was spent all day at the Skoda Velothon with some members of my group Photography in Berlin. Not usually my caper, walking around a big city watching a cycling race. But actually, this was cool. There was something like 7000 cyclists, amateur and professional, riding the same circuit, although at different times, around the…  Berlin is such a vibrant, busy, colourful place. Catching the train is something that happens about every other day, so I thought I’d post an update today on what I’ve been seeing. I keep a Facebook biz page, and keep that update regularly with my comings and goings too. These are all taken with the…  It’s the most old fashioned things that are sometimes the most beautiful. A cafe on my street has window seats. You can sit there and watch the passers-by, while sipping your coffee and reading the paper. OK I can’t actually read the paper, (and no I won’t learn German in less than three months in…  Dear Mum and Dad, All is well here in Berlin. I’m meeting lots of new people all the time, and I really appreciate my time here. There are cafe’s on my street and I assure you I am sitting in one right now! It’s so lovely to be able to step out into it all…. 
You are so right Lindsay!! xx I love this cafe – it is a real gem of a place. Everything in there is made with real TLC |
