It’s Harvey Milk Street! I’m currently in San Diego – here to see some ex-expatriates who used to live in Berlin – but also to have me time. Indiana is always a minefield for me – a good minefield, but a minefield nevertheless. Despite having moved away from Bloomington some 8 years ago, I […] Time in Indiana: Sunday, 7pm, until 6:30 am, Thursday morning, split between Bloomington and Indianapolis. Notes on Bloomington: Holy cow, there is a ton of construction going on – the bypass, 10th Street, South Walnut, Sare Road, plus the ongoing construction on campus. What a nightmare, I’ve never seen it this bad before. The Owlery […] It’s 4:45 and I have had about 4 hours of sleep so far. Jetlag is evil, and I always have it badly when going Stateside. I predict an afternoon nap, sandwiched in between all the awesome people I am going to see today. Greetings, by the way, from Indiana. Plug Yourself In. Saturday I headed out to watch the two Christopher Street Day parades that happen in Berlin every year – the “normal” one and the “alternative” one.

The description listed the group as acoustic folk pop, Americana – I’d […] When I moved to the big city, I decided it was time to dump small regional banks and go with a large, substantial, international player – and I’ve been completely happy with that jump, until now. It’s all because my bank does not offer me the Karl Marx MasterCard, unlike Sparkasse Chemnitz. It’s almost enough […] Ah… where were we?… oh yes, I’d left the second checkpoint behind… but I caught up quickly and was ready to move on and work on the last 8 photos of the day. The second checkpoint was at the Berlinische Galerie, a short walk away from Checkpoint Charlie, so I headed toward the Checkpoint as […] Now that I was running a good hour behind, it was time to tackle the second eight themes of the Berlin Fotomarathon – I’d already envisioned photographs 9 and 11, so it was just a matter of figuring out 10. Photograph 9 was Stadtleben / city life – and in my mind, I remember a […] |
