Surrounded by these colors of my dreams I look at you and wonder what you see in me. My bare heart? My hungry eyes? My colored senses? My smooth pate? My lonely lips? My fake feelings? My dreams spiraling through my pale skin?

(Another one from a trip to Berlin last year shot with my film Dynax 5 SLR. An advert of sorts on the famous Kaufhaus des Westens in the tres chic Ku’damm area.)

Another one from Berlin shot with my film Dynax 5 SLR. It is the roof, as seen from the inside, of a museum near the Charlottenburg Palace (opposite the Egyptian Museum), whose name I cannot recall now. I’ve to admit I quite like the way this photo came out. The lighting especially is lovely even though I say so myself.

There are quite a few photos that I shot with my Dynax 5 SLR scanned but sitting idly on my hard drive for a long time. I was too lazy to visit them and do the necessary post-processing. But today that changed. Here is something from a trip to Berlin a little more than a year ago. ‘The Wall’ is of course the (in)famous Berlin Wall. This is fragment of the Wall left behind at the Potsdamer Platz, one of the most dynamic and interesting places in the world, architecture wise.

A rough translation of the text on the wall, ‘At this place, in 1989, was the first opening made in the Berlin Wall’.

Staying with Berlin, something that caught my eye. No longer remember where exactly this was taken.

Another shot from the same place as the one posted yesterday. Flipped and inverted it to lend it a more dramatic tone. What do you think? Does it work?

As the weather here currently sucks I haven’t gone out and shot anything new. So here is something from a trip to Berlin last year. This an art installation inside the haunting Jewish Museum by an Israeli artist. You can very well guess what it is for. The artist actually requests everyone to walk on these faces. But somehow it was very very tough for me to do that. It felt as if you are walking on real people. And perhaps that was the artist’s intention all along. If you ever find yourself in Berlin don’t miss this museum. Among the museums I’ve seen it alone makes brilliant use of light and space to evoke a feeling of great loss and sadness.

(There is no exif data for these images as they were taken on my Dynax 5 SLR. I also have to learn to do effective scans from my negatives. Somehow the scanned images end up looking grainy and dull).

As I’ve been busy in lab I didn’t get time to go out and shoot. So here is something from the past. This was taken in Bruges, Belgium. It is not a very good picture as the highlights are blown and the framing is not perfect. But what I like about this picture is the period mood sepia brings to it.

Taken in Bruges, Belgium. Like the unity in numbers here and the endearlingly familiar actions of the two children.

Another one from Brussels, in a church near the Royal Museum whose name I’ve now forgotten. This was me trying to shamelessly imitate a photo which was taken in similar style and was present in the church’s brochure. I shall leave you to pass judgement!

Something that seems to be not from this world. Another sculpture from the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels.
