Eighteen times I breathed, in your arms, waiting for your answer. Eighteen times I cried, on your shoulder, overwhelmed by my desire. Eighteen times I laughed, on your chest, watching your silly faces. Eighteen times I died, in your words, overcome by sadness.

(Perhaps the last of the recent series of photos from my trip to Berlin last year. Again shot with my Dynax 5 film SLR. This is an installation in the Ku’damm area of Berlin near the Europa Haus.)

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’.

Second one from the same place as yesterday. Again, the light is not great in this shot but I find the movement of the two kids quite funky!

(This photo is also cropped from the original).

This is one of the test images I shot with my 135/2.8. I do not like this photo completely but there is something about the composition that appeals to my eye. And I was happy that I caught the kid’s kick in mid air! He shows some great potential, doesn’t he? There are a couple more images in the same series so I might post them over the next two days.

(I cropped the image slightly to cut out some empty space at the bottom).

Something that caught my eye. I wonder if I should have increased the depth of field for this photo so that the red pin was also in focus. But the photo still works I think, no?

There is something about the composition and feel of this photo that appeals to me on a certain level. I hope it evokes similar feelings in you.

Yesterday, I went to one of the Christmas markets here and although I did not shoot much I managed to get this.

A few days back I caught this pretty dramatic photo. A streak of fire riding the clouds of an approaching storm. Oh well I make it sound very dramatic It is just the contrails of an aircraft.
