When I’m on the streets, I am always in search of interesting subjects. I usually find these types of subjects in West Berlin districts. When I wrote that I don’t like going east, I was referring to districts like Prenzlauer Berg or Friedrichshain. I am well aware of the popularity of these areas by young people, but this is also what makes them boring in a certain way. If you spend some time there, you will notice that people all look alike; they wear the same type of clothes and they are mostly between 20-40 years old; elderly people are virtually non-existent. Personally, I prefer to shoot in classic West Berlin districts like Charlottenburg, Kreuzberg or Neukölln as I believe they are far more balanced in terms of their population.

why do you avoid East Berlin? Seems to be it’s more interesting than the West.

Your street photography is so incredible. Really inspirational. I’m on tumblr. I wish you had tumblr account so I could follow you on there (which is easy) but I’ll be coming to this website for sure to check out your future work!!! I’m only an aspiring “street” photographer in NYC. Trying to do my part in capturing this amazing city. So great work! Respect! :)
