Neukölln

I have shared Berlin videos here before, but none have captured my attention for a long time, like the "Berlin, Where I Live" video by Schusei, so I knew I had to post it here.

The Vivitar Panorama is a 35mm film camera that became a cult favorite in the 1990s. Known for its unique faux panoramic mode and budget-friendly price, it's perfect for capturing wide-angle shots. In the summer of 2022, I stumbled upon a golden Vivitar Panorama on eBay Kleinanzeigen for less than €10. After reading about it in a few blogs, I knew I had to buy it.

In 2023, I got my hands on the Lomography LC-A+, a super cool analog camera. It's my first camera with control over exposure and ISO, so I knew I had to get out and use it! To kick things off, I loaded it with a Fuji Superia X-TRA 400 roll. This film is amazing for all situations because it's sharp, has super fine grain (meaning it looks smooth, not grainy), and can handle different lighting conditions.

In the heart of Berlin, at the edge of where Tempelhof and Neukölln meet, a colossal iron relic stands as a stark reminder of the city's turbulent past. Known as the Vaubeka Crane, this industrial titan once symbolized resilience during a crisis.

Many cities claim fame for their art scenes, but only a few come with their killer soundtrack, right? Berlin has its own rhythm, from Lou Reed to Iggy Pop, Atari Teenage Riot to Depeche Mode. And for those lucky ones who lived here in the late ’70s, the spirit of David Bowie still hangs in the Berlin air like glitter in a rockstar’s hair.

The Gatower Mühle is one of eight windmills still standing in Berlin. This one can be found in Gatow, a neighbourhood south of Spandau and across the waters from Grunewald. And since we have been looking for windmills around Berlin for a while now, we had to write something about this one.

We have been living in Berlin for years now, and these battle scars we see everywhere caught us by surprise during our first months in town. Especially because the battles in and around Berlin happened over seventy years ago. Because of these scars and bullet holes, we always watch for the remains of the extraordinary fighting that occurred during April and May of 1945 in Berlin.
