Blogger’s Blog: Berlin - Site Preview

 All

Since I have some spare vacation, I am going  to take a trip to Berlin. I’ll be there from August 2 to August 7, 2007. I hope to do some shooting, of course, but the weather in Europe has been terrible all summer, and Berlin doesn’t look too good at the moment either. I’ve got a good deal with a Danish travel agency. Berlin from Copenhagen is a 7 hour (bus) drive, and to me the less expensive way to go there.

I’ve already made deals with 2 major museums, that will allow me to shoot at their premises. In fact, one museum, will let me in on their weekly day closed, so I will have the whole area to myself. Both museums are now familiar with our project for next year, and their reading of the blog seems to have come down very well.

Yes, of course, I will check out some hotels, as well.

 Anything that you want me to look into, within reason, I’ll be happy to do it. Let me know as soon as possible.

BTW, could you recommend a good film for shooting architecture? The 2 museums are, apart from their obvious historical interest, also famous for their trail blazing architecture, and I’ll see if I can get the Hologon working for me. These are the museums: Jewish Museum Berlin and Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.

I have approached other museums as well, but they have not answered my mails yet. I defenitely expext to visit Helmut Newton’s site., since that is only some hundred meters from where I stay in the former West Berlin. Apart from that, I expect 5 days of walking Berlin with a couple of cameras - a G and a D .

If I get a chance, I’ll blog you from Berlin. Those posts will be tagged: Blogger’s Blog.

Best wishes
