Early in 2025, a call for submissions caught my eye in the Bürgerstiftung Neukölln newsletter. As a local community organization, they were seeking photographs that captured the past, present, and future of Neukölln. Having called this bustling district home since moving to Berlin in 2012, I've produced countless images of the area, even curating a Flickr album dedicated to my favorites. What initially appeared to be a simple request for calendar images quickly became something far more significant.

During a recent trip to this Dalmatian gem in the spring of 2025, I managed to capture its unforgettable beauty through the unique perspective of the LomoChrome Turquoise film. I have used this film before, and I loved the weird colors it captures. When the people from Lomography offered me one to test and review, I knew it would be incredible to take it to a new place like Supetar.

On the border of Mitte and Wedding lies Brunnenviertel, a neighborhood renowned for its inviting green spaces and tranquil, pedestrian-friendly courtyards. As dusk settles, a soft, romantic glow emanates from the area's distinctive spherical streetlamps. But there's a clever twist to that. Look closely, and you'll discover that many of these lamps are wearing hats. These are the Nightcaps, a brilliant public art installation that is both functional and fantastical.

The haunting marks left on these church walls make it feel like the fighting occurred mere days ago. On April 24th, 1945, a fierce battle unfolded here as the Soviet 7th Corps clashed with a diverse force comprising elements of the Wehrmacht, SS, Volkssturm, and Hitler Youth units. The intensity of the combat is evident in the ravaged walls, where most damage can be attributed to small arms fire.

What makes the Sternfahrt Berlin truly unique is the rare opportunity to cycle on roads normally reserved exclusively for cars. For one incredible day, major arterial roads, as well as sections of the A100 city motorway and the A115, are closed to motorized traffic. This allows cyclists to experience Berlin from an entirely new perspective, gliding along wide, open asphalt that is usually humming with high-speed vehicles. The feeling is more than liberating, a glimpse into what a more cycle-friendly urban future could feel like. Something that I see happening in Paris and that still missing in the political sphere in Berlin.

The Split Jewish Cemetery is more than just a collection of graves; it's a chronicle of a resilient community. Photographing it with LomoChrome '92, a film that celebrates the charm of imperfect and bygone eras, felt like an appropriate if the unconventional, way to engage with its enduring spirit. It was a reminder that beauty and memory can be found not just in perfect clarity but also in the evocative haze of nostalgia.

While landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and the Berliner Fernsehturm are globally recognized, a less-visited yet profoundly significant site lies in the southern district of Mariendorf: the Martin Luther Memorial Church. Often starkly referred to as the Berlin Nazi Church, this building provides a unique and unsettling glimpse into the intertwining of faith and fascism during the Third Reich.

We passed by bike a few times on our way to Adlershof, and we always wondered what it would look like from inside the fences. We knew about the abandoned Flugplatz Johannisthal for years, and we even tried to find our way a few years ago. Still, we only made it in early January 2021.

Berlin's Tempelhof Feld is unlike any other. This vast expanse, once a bustling airport central to the city's history, now serves as a massive public park—a unique blend of historical remnants and wide-open recreational space. In the summer of 2023, I joined a photo walk organized by the great folks at Safelight Berlin, armed with my trusty Canon F-1 and a very special roll of film: a heavily expired AGFA HDC 100.
