My main photo blog, being pictures of Berlin and sometimes elsewhere. I was born in Trinidad, and formerly worked for the BBC and ITV in England, and for TV in The Netherlands. Anyone may use my pictures for small-scale projects, no fee necessary. My other photo blog, a bit more personal about me is cjdphotoblogno2.tumblr.com

The stretched-out hand graffiti on the Berlin Wall. Many people photographed this. I think my version is the best, of course.

Poster for the ZEITGEIST modern art exhibition, Ku-damm Berlin 1982. This exhibition was a massive turning point for art and for Berlin. I even met people who had abandoned their old lives and had gone to live in Berlin because of this exhibition.

Deerfield, Kearny County, Kansas USA. The home town of an American friend I knew from Berlin. Also a cousin of mine married a guy from Garden City, not far away, who I visited at the same time. A reason for this area being famous, or notorious, was that an horrendous multiple murder occurred at Holcombe, which is in between Deerfield and Garden City. This was the basis of a book and two films made about the crime.
