Kay von Aspern’s Randnotizen
My friend and Seconds2Real colleague Kay von Aspern is preparing his next solo show in Vienna. It will be hosted at the local Leica Store. Check this link.
Holger Biermann at Fenster61
Holger Biermann must be one of Berlin’s most active street photographers. When I go out for my photo walks I meet him every now an then on Friedrichstraße, Alexanderplatz or whereever. Currently he is showing parts of his Terrassen am Zoo series at FENSTER61 until Aug. 13. If you like it be sure to get his nice booklet of the same name that he sells for only 5 Euros.
Along the Way / Arles
One of the most charming images I have seen in Arles wasn’t part of an exhibition, it was just pasted on some wall. By Alessia Bernardin.
Berlin/Wien book almost sold out
If you are interested in one of the last copies of my book with Kay von Aspern you should order it now. We have only 3 copies left. Thanks a lot to everyone who has bought this book so far and made this project a great success for us!
Documentaries About Photography
The Big Fat List of Documentaries About Photography – found on petapixel. Wow!
Parlez vous francais?
I’m going to visit France by the end of the week to attend the Arles Photofestival, Nice and maybe some other places. I’m going to be part of a group exhibition in the voies-off programme in Arles. The photos are portraits from 2010 that I haven’t shown anywhere before.

„It’s desire that feeds our soul, not fulfillment“
– Arthur Schnitzler

Support Hotel Bogota
Just a few weeks after my exhibition in one of the most charming photo places in West Berlin, Hotel Bogota is in serious trouble. The Hotel Bogota is not only the last “Salonhotel” on Kurfürstendamm but also a grand piece of Berlin’s cultural history. Before the war, there was the studio of fashion photographer Yva, where Helmut Newton learned his craft. The list of photographers who have photographed and exhibited there is endless. The hotel also hosts a lot of other cultural events – from art exhibitions to literature, from Tango nights to readings, concerts, whatever.
What’s best for a hotel that has financial trouble? BOOK IT.
Forget the large hotel chains that ruin family run hotels such as the Hotel Bogota. Ignore the illegal holiday flats that have become so pupular in Berlin. They don’t even pay tax!
Hotel Bogota has three price categories, the cheapest affordable even for backpackers. Stay where all the big names form Newton to Parr stay when they are in Berlin. In the probably most photogenic hotel in Berlin!
