Photography

"ultimately, photography is about who you are.  
it's the seeking of truth in relation to yourself.  and seeking truth becomes a habit."  
- leonard freed

What I've been doing in Berlin


In a nutshell:  We fed passersby on the street the Angry Whopper.  Then we led them into an eclosed cube called the House of Anger, where they could express what their tastebuds were feeling .  These are the results.

Berlin Extended

as of today, we are officially citizens of Deutschland!
okay, maybe not.
but can you imagine how amazing that would be?
I can
over and over in my head

so we haven't been issued a passport, or a visa for that matter
but we did find out our stay has been extended
what does this mean?

we've been here so long we are actually witnessing the seasonal change.

It was fun to catch Parra's opening at the Pool Gallery in Berlin

Klaus Staeck :: Berlinische Galerie

To Klaus, art is political and has a mission.  
As a means of making the public aware of the contradictions and deficiencies of society, 
art should provoke, create scandals, and disturb the clandestine business 
of those who otherwise benefit from general inattentiveness. 
 
  
 
  
"Caution: Art!"

John Heartfield :: Berlinische Galerie

This exhibition at the Berlinische Galerie, focuses on the political photomontages John Heartfield produced between 1930 and 1938, vehemently attacking conditions in Germany while conveying a glorious picture of the "Construction of Socialism" in the Soviet Union.
 
  
  
"New political problems require new means of propaganda.  For this, photography possesses the greatest persuasive power." - John Heartfield 1930

Time with Berlin

After two long weeks, we finally had our first weekend free.  I wandered a lot and covered a lot of ground.  I am falling in love with this city.  It has everything a girl like me needs in an environment.  I would even let the whole need for an ocean be replaced by their beautiful canals and rivers.   Unique architecture.  Expansive culture.  Exquisete Fashion.  Hearty food.  Deep love.  Zest for Life.  I'll be back with more, gotta get back out there while the day is young!

And here is the original...

I love the French eloquence.
