Dear "Berlin Meeting 2014" participants,
General:
Last weekend I met our co-guide in Berlin and we discussed some more basic points for the tours on Saturday and Sunday. You will receive handouts with extracts of the city map with tours and meeting points sketched in when we met for the first time on Saturday morning.
Dinner on Saturday:
For all who are interested in an early evening meeting for dinner on Saturday in a nice Indian restaurant please send an email to kpk ( at ) kpk-photography.de or a message using the contact form of this website so that I can book the location for a given number of participants early enough (I will repeat this request again during the summer but final reservation should be done not later than end of August).
Early birds meeting on Friday:
Will be arranged close before the meeting.
For the wind channel group:
I also had the opportunity to visit the historic wind channel last weekend and could talk with some of the members of staff there. Please note that inside the wind channel we will have only limited light sources. A tripod could be very helpful. Of course you also can use a camera flash light.
Be patient
All participants will be provided with exact details of the tours as well as possible meeting points and times, information on the Berlin public transportation system, contact telephone numbers and more close before the meeting via private message or email.
Peter
Today I'm proud to release my new series "A VintAge View".
In this series you will find images with special color tonings meanwhile seen very often in different media like movies, photographs or other art works. The color tonings show a range from different typical socalled vintage color tonings as well as colors known from instagram filters or special color combinations like cross processing and others.
You will find some of my already published images shown in these new colors as well as some new and so far unpublished works.
The series belongs to the ongoing ones, so that you can expect more images in the course of time.
Enjoy the tour!
Dear "Berlin Meeting 2014" participants,
Some quick info in between:
Next month there will be an informal meeting with my co-guide in Berlin. I'll post any relavant information here in this thread.
Another important information:
Today I was asked what is planned in the case of a cancellation of the meeting.
Since this is a private invitation/event, there is no claim for any compensation. All your preparations for the visit in Berlin (e.g. journey, accomodation, etc.) are done at your own risk.
Nevertheless, in the event of the really unlikely case of a cancellation, you will be provided with all the information material prepared up to this timepoint (tour plan, city map, public transportation system information, reservations for special events etc.), so that it's up to you to perform the meeting anyway.
But don't worry, I'm convinced we will see us in October in Berlin!
Peter

Dear "Berlin Meeting 2014" participants,
It seems as if the "Historischer Windkanal Adlershof" (historic wind channel Adlershof) found the interest of the majority.
I've contacted the responsible contact person for this location (which is a part of the Campus Humboldt University of Berlin) and received the permission to visit the wind channel on Saturday 11th October 2014. Exact time has to be arranged (but I suggested early afternoon). We will have at least one hour for the visit.
I've also asked regarding permission to take photos and it's ok for "private purposes" (no commercial use of the images).
Every participant has to pay a fee of 5.00 Euro.
So I ask everybody who wants to join the wind channel visit to agree to pay the fee. Please write me a email with your confirmation (to kpk ( at ) kpk-photography.de or use the contact form of this website ) as soon as possible because the location owner likes to have the number of participants.
If you agree with the above written and I received your confirmation regarding participation and fee, I'll give the info to the location owner and they will submitt a contract to me.
Please try to send your confirmation as soon as possible.
Thank you!
Peter

ATHENS Workshop 2013 & Formatt Hitech Filters Architectural Photography Contest
- Jury Presentation Klaus-Peter Kubik -
Another member of our distinguished jury for the Athens Hitech Contest today.
We're getting closer to the deadline and I'm very excited about it. I've already gathered part of the submissions for the contest
and waiting for more, but you'll have to be patient as I'll keep them secret till the Big Day.
Thanks again to our main sponsor Formatt Hitech (I hope you checked out their Cyber Monday offer for the
JT ProStop IRND filter kit - our 1st prize) and to Rod Clark the VP of marketing at Hitech for taking part in the organization of the
FIRST contest of architectural photography ever organized at a workshop in Greece (yes, I think I can claim my place in the
Guinness Book for quite a few photography 'firsts' these past years : ) a contest that has as goal to make everyone fall in love with
B&W architectural photography as I did many years ago. Our sponsor Stark-Magazine is very kind and will publish the winning images in
the magazine and I really can't wait to see which images these will be.
So, today I give you Klaus-Peter Kubik, not only a great and very prolific German architectural photographer but one of the best
persons I know, from all points of view. Peter is too modest in his bio here, but you have to know he has won countless distinctions
in just as many photography contests over a period of many years. He's doing this job from about the time I was getting ready to be born
and he is still full of enthusiasm and inspiration. Which can only make me say: "Hats off to you, Peter! You're great!!"
And now, let's give the word to KPK, as he calls himself, and read a few more things in his bio.
For even more go visit his site and admire a lot of good architectural photography http://kpk-photography.de/
Klaus-Peter Kubik (KPK) is a award-winning amateur photographer located in Germany with preferences for architecture photography and
to a lesser extent landscape and macro photography.
Klaus-Peter started photographing in Berlin in the early 70s with street and documentary photography before switching to
architecture with digital cameras in 2003. KPK particularly likes using graphical elements to create an attractive composition
by including the shapes, areas, structures, and light/shadow effects as they often were intended to be seen by the responsible architect.
KPK's works are awarded in several national and international competitions. His images are regularly printed in different photo magazines,
books, and calendars.
KPK is member of the German Photographic Society (DVF). The DVF is member of the FIAP - Fédération Internationale de l'Art Photographique
The other members of the jury are: Joel Tjintjelaar Rod Clark , Julian Escardo Akira Takaue Inaki Hernandez-Lasa , Dennis Guichard and Julia Anna Gospodarou

Dear "Berlin Meeting 2014" participants,
Date suggestion for the Berlin Meeting 2014:
Friday, October 10th - Monday, October 13th
On Friday October 10th a first informal meeting for all the "early birds" should be possible.
Tour days are Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th.
If some special requirements can only be fulfilled on a normal working day, forenoon of Monday 13th could be used for that.
If possible to check it at the moment, there will be no big fair or another major event this weekend, so booking hotels should be possible at "normal" prices.
Thank you!
Peter
Dear "Berlin Meeting 2014" participants,

If you like to support the meeting by acting as a guide for a street photography group, please write to me by using the contact form of this site or send me an email to kpk ( at ) kpk-photography.de
The Berlin meeting is planned for October 2014. If I can find a second guide (for a street photography group) we will be two groups (architecture and street) exploring the city. We also will have other common activities like visiting special locations, having lunch / dinner together, and more.
More exact details will be prepared in spring / summer 2014 and announced here and on my Facebook Events page.

<On October 12th, 2013 KPK was be awarded with the RETINA bronze award of the DVF (German Photographic Society).
The award ceremony took place in the framework of the award ceremony and exhibition opening of the "13th Emscherbruchpokal" competition,
a black & white photo competition where one of KPK's images can be viewed in the exhibition (see bottom of this blog entry).
Official Emscherbruchpokal information (description of award ceremony, vernissage, images, etc.) can be seen HERE

I was just informed that I received a FIAP Gold Medal, a PSA Honorable Mention, and a further acceptance in the "1st Bavarian International Circuit" for my image "City in Motion" (see below). Further information: 1st Bavarian International Circuit 2013
Last monday KPK received two gold medals at an gala event of an international photo competition.

KPK received a FIAP Gold medal for "Paths II" and another Gold medal in the section "Digital Images Experimental".
KPK's winning images can be seen below.
In the times before the Berlin Wall was torn down you could discover weird szenes in this opressed city. The following image was taken sometime in the eighties in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin. Not only the wall but also the lonesome child with its baby buggy and the big dog made this an exceptional moment. It's a scan from a small print, converted to b/w.
An interview in German language with KPK is just published at Stern-VIEW. You can access it by clicking on the photo below, then go to page 09 to see the interview with KPK.
During my nearly 25 years long stay in Berlin from 1977 to 2001 I made some photographs with a analogue Nikon SLR. The image below is a scan from an old print. It's a kind of a memorial and shows the facade of an old bunker painted with a some square meter big image of ruins in the Potsdamer street in Berlin in 1945. I took the image somehow in the middle eighties last century.
