Münster 🇩🇪

Münster is an independent city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is in the northern part of the state and is considered to be the cultural centre of the Westphalia region.

The story

The second day in Münster, with, I must admit, Germany’s best Christmas market! Another nighttime shoot, which is pretty hard in color, but after black and white, the Kodak Royal Gold 400 film simulation recipe never lets me down!

München 🇩🇪

Munich is the capital and most populous city of the Free State of Bavaria. It is the third-largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg, and thus the largest which does not constitute its own state, as well as the 11th-largest city in the European Union. The city's metropolitan region is home to about six million people.

The story

Day Two – and boy, was it a chilly one! If there were a Lord, I’d thank Him for bringing extra pants for layering and warmth, as well as an extra pair of shoes since one got drenched in wet snow.
Today was filled with graffiti exploration at Tumblingerstraße and ended with a visit to Königsplatz, where mass rallies led by a certain German politician once took place.

Berlin 🇩🇪

Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany by both area and population. Its more than 3.85 million inhabitants make it the European Union's most populous city, according to population within city limits. One of Germany's sixteen constituent states, Berlin is surrounded by the State of Brandenburg and contiguous with Potsdam, Brandenburg's capital.

The story

Captured the ultimate gritty side of Berlin at RAW-Gelände – a trackside cluster of nightclubs, snack bars, and creative spaces set in repurposed industrial buildings. A true snapshot of Berlin’s underground scene.

Another sunny day, this time in a Halloween-themed Pairi Daiza: a beautiful zoo and botanical garden where you can literally pet pelicans, and animals have plenty of space to roam among visitors – when it’s safe to do so 😉

Bulge Relics Museum 🇧🇪

The “Bulge Relics Museum is the fruit of a passionate quest started in 1984 on the land of our ancestors who experienced this terrible winter 1944-1945. The BRM presents on several levels of an old historic building thousands of artefacts related to the the Ardennes offensive, mostly found in the Vielsalm and Baraque de Fraiture region. A didactical path through pictures, displays, vehicles and showcases brings you back to those dark hours of winter 1944 which saw the American forces mainly fighting the elite troops of the SS panzerdivisions.

The story

On this beautiful, sunny fall day, what could be more delightful than exploring the horrors of a certain war? Today, I visited the Bulge Relics Museum!

Armed with two cameras – a 16-80mm with Polaroid II bullets loaded and the classic 35mm Zeiss with Tri-X 400 shells for that vintage look – I was ready. Both barrels were equipped with circular polarizing filters to eliminate any annoying reflections from glass displays.

It didn’t take long to decide: black and white was the way to go here!
