May Day 2013
On May 1st this year Frank, Philipp and I joined the Maifest and had a nice time walking the streets of Kreuzberg together. Just as last year once again the folklore event was a great opportunity to do some street photography. Enjoy a selection of pictures I took this year:
60-second slices of present // Rome 2013
As mentioned at the beginning of the year, I intended to take the “60-second slices of present”-project further and beyond the city of Berlin where it all had started some three years ago. I am surprised, how the project has been developing since. The fact I always limit myself to the exact same capturing method … Read more
60-second slices of present // Urbi et Orbi // Rome 2013
As mentioned in my previous post I spend Easter time in Rome this year. I had a very particular image in mind I wanted to take – the masses of people gathering on Saint Peter’s Square for Pope Francis’s Urbi et Orbi Message. So this is my selection of shots I took in and around … Read more
It always starts with an image in my mind …
At some time early in March this year I felt the urge to get out and capture some collective human motion again.

60-second slices of present // Warsaw 2012
2012 was a fruitful year as to continuing my photo project “60-second slices of present”. In my last post on the selection of 60-second shots from Berlin I mentioned that I plan to extend this work with photos from other cities around the world, too. So here’s a start at that: last year in October I spend … Read more
60-second slices of present // Berlin 2012
Now that 2013 has just started, I’d like to present a selection of last year’s “60-second slices of present”. This sparse, yet compact selection of works is part of the eponymous ongoing series that I started almost three years ago. It has become a pleasure to reflect on the project’s development since. What, out of … Read more
Warszawa Grotesque
I always wondered what that city at the other end of the Berlin-Warszawa-Express line would be like. Time to find out, I decided and booked a ticket. I arrived in Warszawa on a sunny day in September at noon. I wandered the streets of the Polish capital for half that day and finally came across … Read more
2nd place in Architecture – Cityscapes of the 2012 IPA Competition
It’s a pleasure for me to announce, I was awarded the 2nd place in the 2012 International Photography Awards Competition in the category: Architecture – Cityscapes. I contributed five images of my ongoing series “60-second city slices (working title: 60-second slices of present)” About IPA: The 2012 International Photography Awards received nearly 15,000 submissions from … Read more
May Day, May Day!
Formerly known as the germ cell of nonconformism Berlin Kreuzberg has long been gentrified by now. What had once been the riots of May Day have now become an event of mere folklore.
New 60-second slices of present
Some time ago I introduced my idea to a conceptual series I named 60-second slices of present. What had started as an experiment about two years ago has ever since been becoming a long-term photo project. Here comes a selection of last year’s results.
