Berlin mon amour



I've been in Berlin 3 times now. First in 1999 with my family. We toured by car the eastern part of Germany til Berlin. I found myself pleased and amazed by the reconstruction done in eastern germany and by the cranes in Berlin (i was pretty naive back then). I'll try to find some of the shots i did back then (i enjoyed mostly travel photography and didn't start yet takin the art this [little] seriously).

Next, i've been there on 2008's new year's eve. Cold, snow and fireworks flying around me. Wonderful. It seemed like an happy, partying city.

This september i've gone back in Berlin, full of memories and expectations, just to find myself in front of a different scenario.
I spent the first two days without shooting, being unable to feel what happened around me, since i was so full of memories of a total different city. Then i started realizing, feeling and shooting again. I did the most of work with an Olympus XA from the 80s, a kodak color and a fuji superia films, both 200iso. Both films have suffered from passing 4-6times at x-ray security checks, so photoshop was needed to bring back some shining color.

I AM LAZY, and have a lot of dayjob to do here so i won't upload all the stuff on this site.  Just click on the photo here if you want to see the album on facebook (you don't need to be registered to see it).

Sorry guys. Want me to post the pictures here and to make a brand new website? Send money .
