Helmut Newton - Museum fur Fotographie This is something that has been playing in my mind for a while, but I really came to reflect on it when I visited the Museum Fur Fotographie, in Berlin. The museum itself is a nice visit - it mainly displays the works of the German photographer Helmut Newton, [...]

Potsdam
Within communting distance of Berlin, and frankly closer to my flat then the centre of Berlin is, is Potsdam - a traditional looking city that is recommended by many to visit. It is also very popular for it's Christmas markets, and this weekend just gone it had many to offer, so a friend and I [...]
Berlin Street Art
Berlin is famous for it's street art, and after the walking tour I took - it comes as little surprise. The tour started at a hostel, and is free, so at the end you pay how much you want (or not at all). Our tour guide studied art and discovered a passion for street art [...]
Berlin Cathedral
On the Friday of the first week of classes, I was super excited to attend a class on Postcolonialism in the Middle East - something perfect for my Master's Dissertation (Theoretical Perspectives of Human Rights in the Middle East - including Postcolonial theory). Sadly, I was an unorganised mess and got the time of the [...]
East Side Gallery, Berlin
The famous East Side Gallery! It features the remains of the Berlin Wall, turned into works of art by various artists from all over the world - to represent hope, change, and dreams of a better world. Some featured inspirational quotes, some were more obviously political than others, some were darker in theme than others. [...]
A Little Taste of Nature
I've had a bad day for chronic fatigue, so I decided to go on a walk with my camera to capture the beautiful autumn colours to try and see if the outside would help energise me as it sometimes does. It didn't, I had to get the bus back and I've been napping since, but [...]
View of the Thames, London
I had a 24 hour trip to London, because I had tickets to see the RADA fundraiser production of Hamlet, directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Tom Hiddleston. It was an amazing show, so intimate, and so well performed. Tickets were very limited and in high demand, so I was thrilled to access the Under [...]
Shakey Wakey
Slumville sunrise Nobody cares or looks twice Shine away in the morning Across this place where I was born in Every bruise, every flower Illuminated by the dawning I decided to photograph Wakefield - at least the centre to try and capture its vibe accurately. Although it is not my favourite city in the world, [...]
Whitby
As a post-birthday treat my Mum and her boyfriend took me on a day trip to Whitby, North Yorkshire. I haven't been in years, but it is a picturesque seaside town. There are the famous 199 steps up to the church and well known abbey. The abbey is famous because of Bram Stoker's Dracula - it was [...]
Montjuic
Montjuic is a hill that sits above Barcelona - looking out to the sea and the city. You can either get the cable cars up and enjoy the views, or for a metro ride the funicular. Entry into the castle on the top is cheap, but there is also plenty to wander around and take [...]
