Eurovision in Berlin
We were streaming the ESC finals in our apartment when we heard cheers coming from our local bar
We went to inspect the hoo-ha during the voting rounds and were swept up in a Eurovision street party.
This shot was taken moments before the German representative 'Lena' was crowned winner

The win means that Eurovision 2011 will be held in Germany
Just when I thought this country couldn't get any better...

This is a really sinister ad I passed on a train platform.
Its purpose is to highlight the dangers of BBQing near toddlers.
Certainly, they can be dangerous places but personally I learnt everything I know about BBQing from hanging around grills at a very young age.

What I'd like to see is a friendly grill giving toddlers helpful BBQing tips.
"Onions first, then sausages, then steaks!"

Karneval der Kulturen, Kreuzberg.

This wasn't the multi-cultural experience I'd expected. True, there was more than one culture represented... but only just.
Pretzels, caprihinas, beer, bratwurst were the only food on sale.
Maybe we got there too late

Dum Dum Girls and Monotonix


It's pretty hard not to crush on Dum Dum Girls. Sweet harmonies, fuzzed out guitar, smoking good looks...
It was equally hard to get any decent shots at this show. The room was so full of sweat, steam and smoke when DD girls played that it was almost impossible to focus.
Then, when Monotonix played they decided the stage wasn't for them and set up in the middle of the floor.
I'd been told that the front man of Monotonix usually nudes up at shows but I couldn't be sure.
The throng were so thick that the only time I saw him was when he was crowd surfing (yes, people still do that).
