Photography trip to Germany — every frame a gift

I came to Germany specifically for photography and the country delivered material at every turn. Reichstag Building at dawn was everything I'd hoped. Berlin's streets at dusk are an endless source of light and texture. The people, once comfortable with a camera, are extraordinary subjects.

vibrant arts scene in Berlin gave me some of my favourite images of the year. The only practical note: shops closed on Sundays — plan around it. Otherwise this is a photographer's dream. I've rarely come home with so much usable material from a single trip.
