At the end of March I finally got around to upgrading my iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 5 and as a result I’ve been taking a lot more photos with my phone whilst I’m out and about in Berlin.
It was at the start of April that I really started to notice the sweet machines on the walls of the city.
The ease of taking photos with my iPhone meant that I captured more of the interesting patterns in the city’s architecture like these coloured blinds contrasted against the concrete of a Kreuzberg building…
…and a Plattenbau near Alexanderplatz.
And I snapped scenes that caught my eye like these girls walking under the artwork in the U-Bahnhof at Schloßstrasse.
A great new food event – Street Food Thursday at Markthalle IX – started in April in Berlin and means there’s more time to enjoy the incredible sandwiches, like this Beef Brisket, at Big Stuff Smoked BBQ…
…which I followed up with cocktails at Würgeengel.
I spotted this cheeky monkey on my way to take pictures of one of the huge black & white portraits in JR’s Wrinkles of the City project in Berlin.
As well as the JR exhibition at Galerie Henrik Springmann I would also highly recommend the Olympus OM-D Photography Playground at the Opernwerkstätten. I took lots of photos of this wonderful installation by Korean artist, Jongmoon Choi.
Another consequence of taking more phone photos is that I have become more fond of Instagram and the breathtaking photos of Miss Underground inspired me to look for empty spaces in the Berlin U-Bahn like the exit at U-Bhf Klosterstrasse.
And finally, sunset season is well and truly underway in Berlin. Seeing the pink skies out of my window I grabbed my phone and captured this sunset over Mauerpark from my balcony.
If you’d like to keep up with my continued exploration of Berlin in real-time follow me on Instagram.
