It seems that in some ways Berlin is Germany's "angry" city. What exactly thousands of Berliners have about which to be so angry, one never knows. Andy and I were armed to the gills with our camera equipment at the "fuck parade" yesterday. Now, in the U.S., particularly in a city like S.F., this would have had something to do with sex. In fact, that's what I originally thought. But quickly I noticed that, unlike S.F., there were no hairy older men sporting tons of leather. Instead, there were tons of folks wearing lots of black, dancing, and waving their arms menacingly at no one in particular. It was, apparently, a "fuck the world" party. They were apparently protesting all things to do with Berlin Mitte (one of the most affluent parts of the city), while also protesting for greater economic inclusion. For the mot part, though, the parade was fun-spirited even though the title suggested otherwise.
Andy hopes to meet some young designers to whom he can offer photographic services in order to increase his portfolio. We walked around an area called Hackerschermarkt, which is the swanky downtown (i.e., Mitte) area for shopping/living. We actually met several designers who were, in fact, interested in working with us. That was cool. Now just have to find the models and make-up folk necessary to create a shoot. We'll see how that goes.
