Stumpe at Newton’s

When in Berlin, I met with photographer Jurgen Stumpe at Newton Bar. This is a posh bar in the city not far from Unter den Linden. Go there and have a look, when you are in Berlin. You will pass this bar anyway, on your way to Gendarmenmarkt, which is one of the most beautiful and relaxed places in Berlin. It is a must.  The bar is about 15 meters away, in Charlottenstrasse.

The bar opened in 2004 after the death of Helmut Newton. He died in a car crash in Los Angeles. Apart from the name, and some Newton pictures on the walls, the bar has not much to do with Helmut Newton. But it is a nice bar.

Jurgen Stumpe, took me on a sightseeing trip, in his car, along the Spree and in the inner city, and we ended up doing a night job close to Berlin Zoo. He did she night shooting with a small Sony and a large tripod, and I looked after his car.

Juergen Stumpe is one of the top free lance photographerin Berlin, and a very nice and helpful person. It was he, who pointed us to the best areas to shoot in Berlin. Go see some of his images here.
