I was there a few months ago, here are a few of mine.
Berlin is quite bohemian, with writers, artists and photographers everywhere. One evening we went to a very nice do
which was held in a small studio belonging to Mitch Epstein, a documentary photographer and a fellow at the American
Academy. That's him on the right, looking anxious as an art critic pontificates.
As I said, they're everywhere.
A wardrobe malfunction at the shoot.
Relaxing on Bergmannstrasse in Kreuzberg where I stayed in Berlin.
Historical tableau on Friedrichstrasse near Checkpoint Charlie. The two lines of paving stone in the footpath and road
left-of-center marks the old border between East and West Berlin.
These two scary looking guys were skulking underneath an archway on a street off Friedrichstrasse.
The Holocaust Memorial near the the Brandenburg Gate in Friedrichstadt.
View from the back door of Building Z, Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
The Jewish Museum building has a radical design featuring five "voids", barren spaces that represent the emptiness
remaining in Europe after the loss of so many millions of Jews during the second world war. The biggest void is called the
"Memory Void". You can look into the Memory Void from all floors of the museum. It houses the art installation Shalechet
(fallen leaves) by the Israeli sculptor Menashe Kadishman.
A close-up of the leaves, made of iron.
Visitors are asked to walk on the exhibit. The sound is excruciating...
The leaves disappear into infinite darkness

Enjoy Life.
The "Portrait" shot (#4 I believe) was really creative and well captured. I also like the detail of the fallen leaves from the memorial.

I haven't shot anything in Berlin since just before the Wall came down. I'll have to go back soon---I hear it's changed a bit.

A few random candids from the past days
Assuming that's a dog equipped with a handle for blind people, there's somebody lost somewhere close! The owner didn't show up even a few minutes later, pretty scary.
Somebody was selling those, no clue if there's actually anybody buying them.
FP4+ @ f1.4, EI 200
He didn't even say anything, I just kept on walking.
I posted some more on a blog I started a few weeks ago.
