More from the neighbourhood

These are from this evening’s walk – using my canon


Around my neighbourhood

I walk my dog around my neighbourhood everyday at different times of the day – this is a delight. And I tend to take photographs on my way.  I cross a bridge over a freeway – which is often busy and at a standstill.  These pictures were taken on my phone – this evening I took some on my Canon – but was unhappy with the result…practice makes perfect…

Here is the dog


My walk home

I live in the city – and so I walk to and from work.  One of the streets I walk down is a wonderful combination of galleries, shops cafes, clubs and sex shops. I will slowly but surely take photographs of the streets in my neighbourhood and the people who live and work in the area. Here are two shop fronts on the street.

I met these children in the street and they asked me to take their photograph

Walking around Kreuzberg

I walked around the streets towards the end of the day. In a new place, I wanted to photograph everything, everything. So much to look at, sometimes it was better to put the camera down and just look. But not for long…. I looked through the viewfinder. Ah.

As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure.
