What do we really see in these photographs? Maybe only what we expect. The explanation for what it is being seen is provided by the way we learn how to read visual information.
Actually, all of these are just two-dimensional recordings of light, which have fallen on the electronic sensors of my camera when I . . .

Erster Mai. Bratwürste, Bier und Menschenmassen. Irgendwo am Rande auch ein bisschen Politik. Zahllose Leute schieben sich ziellos durch Kreuzberg. Der Tag der Arbeit und die Ihn zelebrierenden Mengen gebären innovative Geschäftsideen. Selfieleitern sind auf der Oranienstraße zu sehen. Erklimmungsgebühr: 1 Euro. Am Tag der . . .

Berlin

Auch mal wieder schön

Berlin. Immer wieder schön. Kalt auch. Ich täusche vor ein Tourist zu sein und laufe mit der Kamera von Berlin Mitte in den südlichen Wedding.
