im back from berlin. i managed to photograph the border using the u bahn & s bahn stations and saw alot of berlin. so much and in such a short space of time, that i became very disorientated and went a bit bonkers. i sat on different sides of the train going and coming back so the two views didnt add up to one place, not like in the car where you get one view. added to that coz i was traveling alone i didnt really communicate with anyone for three days, apart for from when i had the map upside down and asked for help with directions, so id sometimes find myself talking to myself in strange woods and alleyways. i also have gained the legs of an athlete after all the walking. after i had done with racing around it was good to meet up with the other artists and see what they had done, talk about their journeys and consume some beer. i posted the film off to be processed but because its old kodachrome it has to go to switzerland and then to kansas so it will be an exciting wait. im going to convert it to digital and upload to the blog… http://www.simonfaithfull.org/MobileResearch1/blog… when it returns.
