One of the things that kept me busy lately was shooting three stories for Mit Vergnügen. They started a series where the twins Maria and Sophia go out for dinner (or lunch) every night for 40 days in a row all over Berlin - called 40 DAYS OF EATING and inspired by the fabulous and addictive 40 DAYS OF DATING. They get a photographer send along and an address and eat (and drink!) as much as they can, later each answering a questionnaire about the taste, the overall experience and what they learned new about the other twin that day.





I had three lovely nights out in great restaurants with spectacular food, got drunk out of my mind, had great conversation and took some intimate shots of these beautiful and smart ladies.




On my night #1 (and their night #19!) we went to a very cozy Turkish place called "Osmans Töchter" on Pappelalle in Prenzlauer Berg. It was one of those really really cold nights in January where feet and hands froze immediately when steping on the streets of Berlin, and when entering the restaurant, I was welcomed with hot tea and a seat by the heater (thanks!). We drank two bottles of Raki and learned about the Turkish drinking culture, ate almost everything the menu had to offer (I highly recommend the meze and the baked eggplant with cheese!) and when the night continued after desert, the lovely owner Arzu started to read the future from our coffee grounds.














A dinner to remember for sure and if Arzu's predictions will turn out to be true, we all have a bright and shiny future ahead of us. Thank you Mit Vergnügen, Osmans Töchter and Maria and Sophia for the fantastic night. Read the official story with my photos >>HERE<<. 11 days later I went to Lava in Neukölln, but that's another story to be told.
