German TV

This just blew my mind... I was watching a Documentary on German TV last night via the Internet. The documentary was about the Night Guard at Berlin's Neues Museum. How he walks around, making sure all the doors are locked, that nobody is hiding in the bathrooms, supervising the cleaning crews. It sounds boring but was an interesting insight how a Museum is run. And then they showed a couple of minutes of the sun rising over the museum. It was beautiful... here are some screen grabs.

If you are in Paris, see this at the Les Arts Decoratifs: Madeleine Vionnet, puriste de la mode

I have seen her dresses in various exhibitions in the past, and they are incredible, the workmanship is beyond anything you see today. Evening Dress, Winter 1935

Helmut Newton Foundation Berlin

I went to Berlin, Germany after Christmas to see what all the hype is about.
Berlin didn't disappoint, I cannot wait to hopefully go back there this Summer.
I really wanted to see the Helmut Newton Foundation.
Helmut Newton’s Private Property is a rare showcase of the photographer’s personal life, on display at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin. I was fascinated by a collection of the photographer’s cameras, accessories and other objects used in his photography.
I especially loved his Camera Bag and the Belt.
