Nature Rebel

I've always been drawn to those patches of green within our cities. I'm not speaking of parks or anything planned. It's about those moments where nature rebels against its surrounding infrastructure of concrete and metal, structures and streets.

Snow Storm, Rixdorf (Neukölln)

Me, M-L and M-E stuck in a snow storm last winter. I thank the women in my life for being patient while I set up a shot in sub zero conditions. You're the best.

Neukölln / Hasenheide

The first portrait is of a man named Hadar. He works with a community outreach center in Neukölln. I photographed the couple on the 111th anniversary of their church in the Hasenheide area of Neukölln.

Away for the Day...

Leave us now, winter.

*Many thanks to MP for manning the umbrella - we'll meet again soon.

Solving Cities

MGV sent this link along some time ago and it's pretty wonderful. You can read the full article on the New York Times website.

Of Piles and Post-Progressions

More from Chauseestrasse. This photograph was also made in 2007, around the time they began the official cleanup in preparation for the BND development.

At the Crossroads (Kotbusser Tor)

Kotbusser Tor U-Bahn station, Kreuzberg, Berlin 2007. I consider myself lucky to have caught this when I did. The space looks much different today, although the energy of this intersection feels the same.

Kotbusser Tor is like a tide-pool. If you've ever been there and if you've ever seen a tide-pool, then you will understand the comparison.

New York Portrait Series - Installation II

Some of the first pictures I made in the series (Dear and Pat and Peter Baker).

This is the second selection from my NYC Polaroid Portrait series. There's a small printed edition of the entire group of portraits on its way. I will keep you all posted.
