Berlin – July 2023
At the end of July, I went to Berlin for a photo weekend with a photographer friend from the US. I brought my Leica M6 and two 35mm films: Kodak Tmax 100 for black and white, and Kodak Pro Image 100 for color.
In two days, we walked more than 60 km across the city. Lots of walking, a few beers, pretzels, and of course, kebabs. The idea was simple: wander, observe, and photograph whatever came our way.
Berlin is a surprising city, full of energy. There’s a dynamic youth, and a kind of well-organized chaos that can be felt in the streets, in the neighborhoods, and in the way the city lives every day.
The Tmax gave me strong contrasts in the bright summer light, while the Pro Image delivered softer tones, perfect for street scenes and the summer atmosphere.
No specific plan, just the pleasure of walking, sharing the experience with a friend, and photographing Berlin as I saw it.
