City of Light and Darkness, Berlin Street Photography. Like night and day, we shift and move within the static streets in search of the perfect light.

The city, blocks of asphalt and concrete. Street photographers love it, the sun and shadows love it. We step out into the city, camera in hand, and search with hope for the next beautiful street shot, the opportune moment, the best photo that we’ve ever taken. We live with hope.
People and cars, roadways, the veins and sinews of a city that give entrance and exit to every moving object; people, cars, bikes, dogs and cats, rats and mice.
The city offers places to dwell and to hide.
The sun splashes onto its rooftops, drips down its walls, then illuminates that streets, casting shadows that form squares triangles, and splashes of dappled colour.
To the street photographer, the light and shadows of a city are the places where luck and chance reside.
Even the sun, blasting into every corner, seems to play the game of luck and chance – there one minute drifting away, the next – too late.
The sun gives us the sunny side of the street, it gives us the shadowy side with darkened cars, flat colours, and strange figures darting along.
Berlin, the city of light and darkness.
It never stops.
Below are a few of my latest street photographs.

Berlin street photography is very popular. It’s a great pastime for people looking for an outlet, an activity that takes them away from everyday life and its burdens.
