»Planners expect the armies of fickle hipsters to awaken Berlin from its permanent adolescence and turn it into a world capital of creative industries like art, fashion, music and film. But that does not necessarily set off an economic revival.«

Anne wanted to point out, again, that she liked my look a few years ago (before we even started dating). This picture of me was taken circa in summer 2007 – but when I just checked the EXIF data, I found out the original date was June 22, 2007 - Anne’s birthday. Fate‽

1. You can spend your own money on yourself. When you do that, why then you really watch out what you’re doing, and you try to get the most for your money.
2. You can spend your own money on somebody else. For example, I buy a birthday present for someone. Well, then I’m not so careful about the content of the present, but I’m very careful about the cost.
3. I can spend somebody else’s money on myself. And if I spend somebody else’s money on myself, then I’m sure going to have a good lunch!
4. I can spend somebody else’s money on somebody else. And if I spend somebody else’s money on somebody else, I’m not concerned about how much it is, and I’m not concerned about what I get.

Amy started a new medium format tumblelog!
I have started a new Tumblr that is solely dedicated to bringing you photographs shot on medium format film. I post them so often on my personal blog, and feel like they sometimes get lost among my posts about beer and cats.
Great one. Maybe you will find some more material for it in the flickr group Mittelformat, which I started some years ago and has more than 23,000 medium format photos in it.
