Throwback Dec 4, 2014. On the road, Berlin. Lunch break during a business trip. Somewhere near Treptower Park I guess. Poor quality again compared to most of todays cameras and shots; back then again it was more "instant" point-shoot-send. And usually immediately ended up in shorter communications with locals asking or recommending things. This strange kind of interaction was unique to "early" Instagram days and seems missing on virtually any other network ever since.

Throwback Dec 1, 2012. Stars. Originally posted to Instagram in my early months there, still embracing that idea and possibilities of immediate pictures and permanently carrying a usable camera.

Throwback Nov 23, 2013. Vintage audio hardware. Maybe already too polished for a steampunk mode, maybe nice from some perspectives and rather difficult to handle from others. Still, an enticing piece of history.

Throwback Nov 13, 2017. Berlin again. Business trip, business lunch, discussing ontologies in perl and the odd way this part of the city has changed even by then. Guess it's much worse nowadays.

Lanterns hanging from steel wires between facades of two houses. Grainy monochrome shot.

Flashback Nov 8, 2010. Somehow starting the age of smartphone photos, taken with the infamous Palm Pre. Late at night. Returning home from a bar with close friends. Rather poor quality in a picture that somehow feels important. Originally on Facebook which also felt important back then...

View through a foggy night, lights on a bridge, an old metal fence, some dry trees.

Throwback Nov 3, 2012. Bat Country. The darkness all along the roads. Business trips, rented cars, Dresden, Berlin. And temporary hope to make a difference in a growing company by communicating and linking people. (It failed.)

Dark hour, some meadow and sidewalk in the headlight of a car. A tree and power infrastructure in the back.
