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 […]

It was really excellent seeing all of the creative genius on display. Clearly I am not […]
Upon further reflection, I have to confess, I really enjoyed the Fotomarathon – far more than I expected, and unless the Fotomarathon coincides with CSD 2012 (Berlin’s Gay Pride parade and celebration), I will definitely do it again next year.
I say that, even as I remember that it took far more out of me […]
My muscles are surprisingly sore today. I hadn’t expected this after taking 24 photographs around Berlin yesterday for the Berlin Fotomarathon.
