Travel Photography

What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.

George Eastman

Traveling is not about visiting places. It is like reading a book about different cultures. This gives us knowledge to understand other people.

Photography captures a moment, helps to prevent our remembrance. It uncovers the way we see the world.

Travel Photography is not just taking pictures, it is about making them to be part of the travel story.

history:

Berlin Wall

With the closure of the inner German border in 1952, West Berlin became the main route by which East German citizens left for the West. By 1961, approximately 20% of total population of the GDR (German Democratic Republic) migrated to the West. To prevent further mass emigration, in August 1961 the East German government began construction of the wall around the whole West Berlin.
