Two and a half years ago, I took stills for the ZDF production "In der Überzahl" (English title: "Comrades of Fortune"). Written and directed by the amazing Carsten Ludwig and shot in the outskirts of Berlin, with two of my absolute favourite male actors of all time, Ulrich Thomsen and Max Mauff. It's not only an hour long duel between a teenage spree killer and his hostage but also a match between the two congenial actors.

The movie is part of the series "Das kleine Fernsehspiel", which gives aspiring directors the chance to realize movies with a bit less pressure to be commercially successful. I had a blast with a wonderful team and two absolutely beautiful subjects. And I am so happy to announce that the film will have its TV premiere next Monday, March 10th at 0:15am on ZDF. Watch out!

I was picking up a train ticket tonight at Ostkreuz when I saw tons of police and firemen running around. Seems as if some crazy person had decided to burn some cars again. It was insane, especially because the fire didn't seem to be controllable and the firemen actually pushed the flames from one car to another. I'm almost sure it was only one car that was put on fire (and it kept on lighting up again) - but the firemen concentrated on one car, while pushing the flames to the neighbouring cars, then trying to controll those, while the first car would already stand in flames again. What an embarrassing play to watch.

Dear Berlin firemen, this is not the first incidence of this kind. Please start practicing to extinguish burning cars, so you don't cause more damage than necessary. And dear firebugs: Please move to another city. WTF?!

Last night I took some mood shots for my friends at >>fashiondaily.tv<< at one of their Berlin fashion week events. It was hard to stay sober while everyone was swimming in champagne and my belly decided to be extra big and iffy at once, but it was nice to stroll around, pick up lemonade and fingerfood and be the undercover photographer (while everyone's camera was big and superflashy, I tried to stay in the background and used my smallest analogue lens and a quite different perspective). Enjoy.

I really do love shooting events when I can do it my way. Feel free to ask if you like how I do it.

I spent the evening in Neukölln with a group of friends and later danced into 2012 at Picknick. I hope you all had a blast like me and arrived in 2012 whole and save.

Yesterday evening I went on a photo-stroll to the government district to observe the Occupy Berlin protests. I was given some hearts and the light was beautiful (and the mis-spellings, as well).

This is fun and usually pretty boozy. Over the past years, secretly, I took photos at a few weddings and a bunch of other events to do favours to friends or to make some real money. Today I decided to publish a few.

PS: If you have a special event to photograph and don't care for the typical juicy and cheezy, flashy and posy pictures, you can contact me. If it's interesting and if it fits my schedule, I might do.

A long time ago we packed a picknick and went to get rid of all our money in Hoppegarten. These have been waiting in my archive for way too long, so enjoy a sunny "Super Sunday" with a lot of hats.
