Festival of Lights

And once again I wish for a better camera. 200 ISO max is not exactly ideal for shooting at night.

On an unrelated note that I've been meaning to mention for a while: My friend Sharon does translations from Hebrew to English (and the other way around), and she has a new site up! So if you need an experienced translator or someone who can also do technical writing and proofreading in both languages, check her out.

Some random photos

Why so serious?

I was unimpressed by "The Dark Knight", but I like my night light.

Müllerstraße

Doing the title of this blog justice, for once.

This used to belong to my roommate's mother

The picture makes it look harmless, but that doll is incredibly creepy.

More Summer in the City

Evening at the beach bar. Photos don't do it justice, but I love the atmosphere at the Spree in that area. It's such a cliché, and every hipster will tell you the same thing, but the way nature and urban ruins and hip bars and big factories clash, that is Berlin for me.

Summer Night

I could just spend all my time taking pictures of candles and other lights, seriously.
(Even though my camera can't get the exposure quite right.)

Camwhoring: Ur Doin It Rong

What's it with me and random body parts lately?
(It's kind of lame, but I love mirror pictures. Also I was bored,
and it's not like I have any artistic merit to begin with.)

Near Gesundbrunnen

The other week that shoe stood next to the fence.
(Turning a picture b/w feels like such a cop-out, but this was more about the weirdness than artistic merit anyway.)

Youggottadance.

Aslongasthemusicplays.

Want?

My inner emokid is dancing with glee at how this turned out.

Evening at Görlitzer Park

It's one of my favourite places in Berlin, actually, dirt and ruins and all. In its wretchedness it's just so very urban, sometimes seeming almost post-apocalyptic, especially in the "crater". I love it.

Straßensperre

Friedrichshain, last weekend. I just like how this one turned out.

Random pictures

I keep forgetting to update this. Some pics from the last couple of weeks:

I want to post more pictures of people, but I need to remember to ask if they'd mind.

It's been a while

In the spirit of giving up on Project 365 - some photos from Shiva's birthday party at an old fort.

05/07 - Worst drag king ever?

Sometimes I still wish I was a boy, but I even fail at drag.

Also, at Project 365, it seems. Maybe I'll just declare this "Project Try To Take As Many Photos As Possible, But Not Every Day".

05/05 - Hallesches Tor

A random visit to my favourite cemetery.

Counseling seminar

Learning how to express interpersonal situations by using random objects.
(Sadly, I did not learn the scientific term.)

Elsa

Taking my flatmate's grandmother's dog for a walk.

Mauerpark

Celebrating Walpurgisnacht, more or less.

April 28 - Ignore the chaos

I forgot to take a picture yesterday, so I took one in bed.

April 27 - Tempelhof referendum

I did my civic duty.

Evi's Birthday Party

First event this year that felt like summer.

Dana and Toni

Hanging out in the living room.

Spring Cleaning

Now my arms are all sore, ouch.

My exciting life...

Dinner: Wannabe-oriental stew with random veggies and couscous. It was quite delicious.

In Kreuzberg

Between grocery shopping and volunteer work.

Job Search

At Potsdamer Platz. Nobody was hiring, though.

Call me Bathory

No virgins were harmed* in the making of this lazy-Sunday-afternoon bath.

*(For those who don't get the joke...)

Moon over Wedding station

Picking up Fabian.

Our Threadless order arrived

Cheaper than buying nice shirts in Germany, even with 40 Euro taxes.

I never gave a damn about the weather

And it sure as hell never gave a damn about me.
(Yesterday's pic, since Blogger was being wonky last night.)

80s-licious

Nettelbeckplatz, on my way to the post office.

I completely fail at Project 365

What I've been doing instead of posting.

A light in the distance

Near our apartment.
