BERLIN & LEIPZIG

Several times iI have been to Berlin. It started in January 1990, less than 2 months after the Wall fell. In July I saw Roger Waters perform The Wall, and on the 2’nd of October 1990 – the last day of the DDR – I was in Leipzig, where the uprise began with 3 friends to make a portrait of that special day.
9’th November 1994 we same 4 guys were in Berlin to see the changes. The rest of the visits have been with my wife.
