    Before The Gig
    Record numbers at the concert of the trash metal band METALLICA. Together with my son, I was able to enjoy this highly emotional evening.

      Day sleeper
      On my way to the photo location, the Oberbaum Bridge in Berlin, I came across the subject of a sleeping man who was obviously still dreaming of the previous party. He was already sweating a bit as the sun rose higher.

      PARTY - END
      Beschreibung: Bei einer meiner „Spazierfahrten“ – eher Motivjagden, sah ich ein paar Damenschuhe auf einem Mauerstück.
      Allegorisch zeige ich, wie in Berlin Club- Feiern manches Mal zu Ende gehen mögen: Glassplitter, Getränkedosen und: Schuhe! (Fotografiert mit dem Smartphone)
      Die Wirklichkeit war anders: Ich beobachtete eine ältere Frau, die Sachen in den Kleidercontainer gab. Die Schuhe, die sie in der Hand hielt, stellte sie auf der Mauer zum Mitnehmen für Passanten, ab.

        Long Past
        The Marienkirche, located very close to the TV tower, is a medieval building in the Brick Gothic style and the oldest church in Berlin still used for worship. In September 1964, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and African American civil rights leader Martin Luther King preached in the Marienkirche, saying among other things: "No border can separate God's children." The nave contains numerous sculptures.

        YAZMIN
        In this shot, I was inspired on one hand by the prevailing harsh light, and on the other by the vibrant colors of the clothing of the woman writing. She was very open and told me she was working on a screenplay.

        Hello 👋 to this distinguished group. I’ve already enjoyed looking at so many beautiful photos and have to admit that I still have a lot to learn to reach your level. I’m learning every day by taking shots and comparing them. When it comes to editing, I have a huge gap to fill—MASKING!
        KUDOS TO EVERYONE WHO PRACTICES OUR ART FORM 👍📸

        Afternoon in front of the gate.
        The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin is one of the main attractions for tourists. I photographed it with my CANON EOS R8 at low sun using a 50mm lens.

        On the Challenge of Wanting to Take Great Photos:
        I’m just beginning my journey into true photography and have so much to learn. With a deep passion for LIGHT PAINTING, I roam the streets of my city, Berlin, searching for subjects. I don’t have to look long—often the subjects come to me. When they do, I seize the moment and snap the shot.

        Most of my photos seem to be taken from an “unusual” perspective—not at eye level, not above, and only rarely from the ground. There’s a good reason for this: I’ve been in a wheelchair for five years due to illness.

        I’ve always been involved in art—I was self-employed before my MS diagnosis, crafting wooden jewelry. After a long period of “artistic inactivity,” photography became a new way for me to express myself.

        The joy of this craft now accompanies me every single day.

        Old, smoking man
        This shot was inspired by the moment when the 90-year-old leisurely lit a cigarette and gazed dreamily into the distance. In this photo, edited with PHOTODIRECTOR by Cyberlink, only the background was changed to solid black. There are also some minor corrections.

        Photography has given me a "second life" and allows me to see the world with fresh eyes.
