Images of Berlin, 2012
Paul Sullivan selects some of his favourite images of Berlin taken in 2012... I've never photographed as much as I did in 2012. My camera was barely out of my hands for most of the year, even though I probably travelled less (internationally speaking) than any year in the previous decade. I cycled and walked day and night through the centre and fringes of the city, exploring everything from lakes and woodlands to abandoned buildings and residential estates. I never knew quite was I [...]

Berlin’s Abandoned Shopping Trolleys
The ubiquity of shopping trolleys - (shopping carts in the US, Einkaufswagen in German) - says much about the societies we live in. Invented in 1937 by Oklahoma supermarket owner Sylvan Goldman, they have evolved from humble wire hand-baskets into symbols of (relative) wealth, hyper-commerce, and a general dependence on supermarkets for our daily sustenance. These days shopping trolleys can come with calculators, electronic store guides and even keep fit while you shop technology. In [...]

Berlin Slowlympics: In Photos
On Saturday 4th August, we hosted the first ever Berlin Slowlympics - and boy was it a lot of fun. We were admittedly anxious about the weather forecasts, half of which promised rain and thunderstorms - but as it turned out we had the opposite "problem": hot, blazing sun almost all day long. Thankfully there were lots of beer tents and shade umbrellas around, though most of the guests and participants seemed content to sprawl out on the sidelines and enjoy the rays (including many Brits who [...]
Mauerpark Karaoke: In Photos
Just about everyone, resident and visitor alike, enjoys the occasional Sunday visit to the buzzy Mauerpark flohmarkt. One of the highlights, aside from the strolling and browsing, is ex-pat Joe Hatchiban's bearpit karaoke sessions, which he began in 2009 in the Mauerpark's stone amphitheatre.

But public disappointment and outrage about [...]
