Mit der Lomo durch Berlin
Während meiner letzten Fahrt nach Berlin hatte ich meine Lomo LC-A dabei, geladen mit einem Fomapan 400. Meine Reise führte mich - ganz unspektakulär - mit der Bahn von Hannover nach Berlin Hbf und dann in den alten Westen der Stadt, in die Nähe von Bahnhof Zoo und Ernst-Reuter-Platz. Diese Fahrt wollte ich mit der Lomo fotografisch begleiten; und zwar nicht, weil es die Lomo ist, sondern weil es meine kleinste 35mm Kamera ist, die einfach prima in die Jackentasche passt. Meine Idee war, rauhe, eher grobe Schwarz-Weiß Aufnahmen zu erstellen, die die trübe, winterliche Stimmung wiedergeben. Was nicht heißt, das die Reise trüb war - nur das Wetter war wirklich ungemütlich.

Checkpoint Charlie
To see and learn what´s going on here on my website I decided to track some information. Recently I learned that almost 100% of my visitors are located in English speaking countries. Therefore - even though my English is rather imperfect - I decided to go on writing in English here...
Anyway,...A couple of days ago I was Berlin walking along the Streets of "Berlin Mitte". One of the historic places of importance there is, of course, the former Allied Checkpoint Charlie. In the days of the "Cold War" this was one of the border crossings in the heart of Berlin, where the the western world ended. In these days it is a tourist attraction. The "soldiers" of today are actors with a license for street sale of being photographed...
