Hmmmm. People's feet and backs look the same in Berlin as in Albuquerque :-)

 

For more Berlin, I suggest "The Good German." Noir, B&W, vintage look and sound, incredibly dense story. A grim foil for "Casablanca." Worthy. Much better than reviews.

...also shows how wartime cameras might have been obtained by Allies in Berlin.

Ernst, I think the first one is very cool. The thoughts of the human subjects might be revealed in the sculpture.

thanks mark and john,

<br>

@john: although shot from the back i still like the shot because the boy's the center of attention. he's planning on getting the girls in the fountain. (but maybe i like it cause i know the outcome)

<br>

the feet in the other picture are crossing the former berlin wall. i added a caption but it got a little lost.

<br>

and for berlin fans i'll add another. please post your berlin shots.

Half of <a href="http://doeringphoto.com/berlin/berlin.html">this</a> is Leica stuff, the other half is 4x5.

Ernst, your B&W looks awfully grainy with slight apparent unsharpness as a result. What film/developer did you use? Were they scanned from prints or directly from the negatives? (This is not a criticism, but a question for information.)

thanks Tom, Frank and Lutz for joining in. great stuff, i'm honoured.

@ Bill: this is scanned TriX400 film develloped in D76. i had problems with some rolls of film that i took to chile and back. they were x-rayed 4 times, at least that's what i think the problem is because the newly bought roll came out fine. i underdevelloped and underexposed a little (it was very cloudy and sunny difficult guestimating the exposure) and i am still experimenting with the developping times (after 4 years...). i also don't have the best scanner(epson perfection 2400 photo). in PS i had to add a lot of contrast and i might have oversharpened them a little wich makes 'm very grainy but i don't dislike the effect (travis inspired).

<br>

still, i would like to get better at exposeres, get better at develloping and am thinking of getting a superior negative scanner.
