Falling Tower
The second cooling tower of the nuclear power plant in Biblis, some 70 kms (43 mls) south of Frankfurt, collapses during its controlled demolition. The power plant was shut down in 2011 following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in a political decision to phase-out nuclear power in Germany.
One Year of War in Ukraine
A woman with angel wings in Ukrainian colors stands in front of the Old Opera House in Frankfurt during a demonstration on Feb. 24, marking the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – a war that killed thousands and forced eight million Ukrainians to leave their homes and flee abroad.
Madonna in Frankfurt 1987
After purchasing a simple JJC reproduktion device I just took a few frames of old negatives that I shot in 1987 when Madonna performed in Frankfurt. I remember taking these pictures was pretty difficult as none of the accredidated media were aware that we had to shoot from about a hundred meters away from the stage. I was probably the only one who brought that enormous Nikon 600mm telephoto lens. Of course, those were analogue times and I used Fuji 1600 color negative film which even had to be pushed at least one stop. The quality is accordingly bad. These photos weren’t published before.

An hour in Berlin
Last week while being in Berlin I had an hour or so to kill before my train went back to Frankfurt and so I took a walk around the railway station and the nearby parliament building.
