I bought this book in the summer of 1998, shortly before moving to Bloomington, Indiana. In fact, I ordered it online and had it shipped to Bloomington, only for it to get there before I got there. A friend had to pick it up from the UPS warehouse and keep it for me – […] The above photo is of a photo I took at some point between 1999 and 2003 – judging from the fact that the Memphis Zoo claims to have received them in 2003, it must have been 2003 because I moved to Germany in the summer of 2004 and there’s no way I took this […] This is my second “annoyed” Whatchamacallit of the Covid-19 crisis. Today – Thursday – after work I should be heading to Tegel Airport and boarding a flight to London City Airport. It was to be a long weekend in London, in celebration of a friend’s birthday. It was going to feature two theatre shows […] I started October in Stockholm, exploring an incredibly beautiful city. My hotel was near T-Östermalmstorg, a vibrant part of the city. I’d planned to spend Saturday morning taking a free walking tour of the city, but the tour group was excessively large and there was only one tour guide, so I skipped out and […] Berlin’s fernsehturm — Berlin’s iconic tower. Sometimes photogenic, but not always. The Schӧneberg gasometer – in my ‘hood. Visible for miles. This is Potsdamer Platz on a brilliant Sunday morning. Could not look better. A week ago I popped in to Tastees, Berlin’s Jamaican restaurant, for dinner. Amazingly good food. I’ve […] I recently picked up a new camera – so new that I ran into a slight problem: my computer’s software doesn’t have the ability to read the camera’s raw output – fortunately I can still take JPGs and the default settings have been fantastic. Actually, I am rediscovering how much I love Berlin through the […] Today, after a long day of work, I had one mission to achieve: getting my camera cleaned. While in the Shetlands I’d noticed that there was a speck of dust in the viewfinder, but that said speck of dust was not showing up in my photographs. Thank goodness – so I put off dealing with […] The Shard, Europe’s tallest building. I’ve been meaning to throw up a couple pictures from my last day in London –it’s only been three weeks. I don’t really have a good excuse other than the fact that work has been keeping me extremely busy, and when I’ve left work, I’ve been feeling exceptionally lazy […] There’s construction near my office — and today I looked in the hole and saw wiring. In Alexanderplatz there are quite a few One-Man Bratwurst vendors — today 1.35€ per bratwurst. Berlin’s famous Fernsehturm was shrouded in low lying clouds this afternoon. Probably not the best afternoon to go up the tower. […] Passing an empty playground, I discovered all these autos lined up. Walking down the cold street, a warm flower… Bollards do hard work, and a thoughtful Berliner knitted them some hats…
