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.
