If you love street photography, Berlin history, and stories of long-lost treasures, I have a remarkable exhibition for you. From June 5 to September 27, 2026, the Willy-Brandt-Haus is presenting a wonderful look into the past with “A Berlin Suitcase” (Ein Berliner Koffer), a showcase dedicated entirely to the brilliant pre-war work of photographer Fide Struck.

Despite being in the middle of the insane to reach Place Charles de Gaulle, the Arc de Triomphe is worth the risk of getting killed in the Paris traffic. This is one of the most famous buildings in the world and is an essential stop in any itinerary in the French capital.

In the age of computational photography, mirrorless cameras, and massive full-frame sensors, every detail feels meticulously sharpened and controlled by a sophisticated technology. So it can feel incredibly refreshing—almost rebellious—to slow down and embrace the raw, unfiltered imperfections of film. For the modern traveler looking to inject a truly unique, artistic flair into their visual journey, one camera perfectly embodies this philosophy: the HOLGA Pinhole 120WPC.

My love affair with the thermal paper camera began with a simple YouTube video. The idea of a camera that prints lo-fi, black-and-white photos on the spot—for the ridiculously low price of thermal paper—was too appealing to ignore.

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.

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.

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.

Due to some issues with the space available and my fear of falling, I left my Canon F-1 home. I traveled to Copenhagen with a more compact camera. This is how I ended up cycling with my Lomography LC-A+. I wanted a consistent look throughout the trip, so instead of my usual experimental approach to film usage, I bought some rolls of Kodak Gold 200 and took them with me. You will see this in the images I selected for this.

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.

The Canon F-1 is big and heavy, a camera made of brass and glass. It's fully mechanical with no automated features. To use it properly, you must slow down, think, focus, compose, dial up the proper shutter speed, open or close the lens, and wind the film to the next frame. It's a camera that requires everything from the photographer, and in return, it offers an amazingly satisfying analog experience and very, very nice photographs.
