party en plain air
my picture politics: avoid closeups of persons, it’s about the atmosphere and not about the style/faces of the people. never use flash, it’s an atmosphere killer at parties. don’t do many pictures, wait for the right moment. don’t come as a photographer to parties, just party and document some little impressions.
here are some pictures from open air techno parties in berlin. if you like these you might also want to have a look at my gallery on myspace entitled pics of my late teenage years as dr of nothing… these are not in any way professional pictures of course, i only take some simple snaps with my little digicam.

sonica reloaded 2009 pictures and report
ok finally i found some time to prepare the pictures from sonica reloaded for you… but first some words.
i’m not that much a fan of trance, but happened to be at this festival for a complex set of reasons 
. and surprisingly enough, i favored the trance stage. the mix of all these retro/neo hippies on weed, psychodelic vj-projections and incredible nature (the festival was surrounded by the woods of the treja national park) made it a nice experience. i felt a bit in the wrong place since this is not my scene, but in the end it was nice. comparing experiences with fancypunk we found that the festival has become a lot smaller than the old sonica festivals and that they reduced the programme a lot. there was only the big trance stage and a little stage with all the rest from reggae to drum’n'bass and surprisingly also some pretty nice techno. plus there was some performance, workshop and healing area. i watched 10 minutes of a spiritual healing workshop, it was really funny . one nice thing was that this festival is really aware of ecological impact of their work, so they made a big deal around recycling and not fucking up the area. ok to sum up my impression: go there if you are a neo-hippie with a favor for trance music, you will like it a lot.
and now on to the photo impressions:
the first day, not much going on, you can see the second stage on the right. ate an incredible pizza from the pizza collective, hat tip.
hippies healing their hurt souls in the workshop area
tents used for massage workshops, and on the left the non-smoking area which was empty all the time. i met some interesting people from barcelona there while charging my phone who squatted it as a sleeping space and gave me some interesting stuff as a present….
some dj’s at the second stage who had a lot of fun with their set and with the stage decoration. notice that the area was powered by a function one sound system which was great basically, but the technical team managed to fuck up the sound nevertheless, there was a horrible echo.
dancing in the sun at the main stage
second stage from far at night
inside the tent of the second stage
the installations of the main stage
the main stage at night. they stopped the music at 2 in the morning each day, which was a quite interesting experience for me… just imagine Senseo pulling of a really pushing set and everybody is sent away after that by big white lights and silence.
ravers at the main stage
and one last pic of the incredible surrounding nature

fuckparade 2009 berlin
fuckparade is a counterconcept to the loveparade. this year it was bigger and louder than the years before… the crowd was mixed: half innercity alternative minimal ravers and left wing folks and the other half hardcore gabba outer city disco folks, to speak in this black and white oversimplification. here are some pics:

fuckparade 2009
update: our report with impressions from the FuPa09 is ready! click here
Demonstration: Fuckparade August 22nd / 2 pm / Berlin (Germany)
The Fuckparade – a demonstration for subcultural claims and rights – will
be on the street again on August 22 this year. From a subcultural
perspective, 2009 was dominated so far by an increasing awareness of how
easily everybody’s lifestyle can be negatively affected by a growing
appetite of state institutions to control every aspect of life.Total
surveillance, non-acceptance of alternative lifestyles via tightened
budgets and higher living expenses, old fashioned 20th century regulations
ignoring every change of modern communication and artistic expression
(such as the GEMA) are just a few examples why subcultural people will once
more join on the streets of Berlin to celebrate the 12th anniversary of the
Fuckparade.
Demo:
Saturday, August 22, 2 pm
Revaler Straße
Berlin
