  • Travel Longing,,,

    I was looking over vintage airline posters longing. Back in the old days traveling was alluring, fun, easy, a bit of glam.  .  As vacation season starts in the New Normal, the surreal sensation stays with me. I have been planning on another staycation.  The thought of getting on a plane in the near future […]

  • A Design Influence on Me.

    A Design Influence on Me.

    Bauhaus Museum Weimar opened in April 2019.  Its collection houses pieces from the 1920’s to the present.  Focusing on design, art, dance, and architecture, the Museum narrates the history of Bauhaus over 3 floors.  Side Note: The Black and Paper logo was influenced by the Bauhaus  movement.  We incorporated some of the graphics in our […]

  • Second Day in Weimar

    Second Day in Weimar

    Exploring the cultural city offerings on my staycation.  Still inspired and strolling around the city.  It’s easy to see why Weimar has appeal. On the second day,  I saw the dramatic and elegant.  

  • Classy Weimar

    Classy Weimar

    For my first travel in the New Normal I decided on  a staycation. As if I had a choice. Nothing is flying these days. Where to go? The city of Weimar, located in Thuringia, a 3 hour drive from Berlin.  I knew little about the city.    Classy, compact, and elegant the former Grand Duchy Capital […]

Accounting for in some cases up to 20% of countries GDP. Many livelihoods depend on the travel industry.  Boarders are still closed. Airlines on the brink of […]

  • Our Studio 1

    2020! What can we say?  A heck of a year! It’s only May.  We have flirted with the idea of making more video content.  Off and on over the years we produced features covering fashion, film festivals, and other events. Many events have cancelled until further notice. When an opportunity knocks, open the door. Black […]

  • Berlin’s New Normal

    Berlin’s New Normal

    My second feature on the “NEW NORMAL” in Berlin.  Normally bustling plazas and streets, now eerie silence.   At Easter the city is usually teeming with tourists.  This season all resembles a set from the television series “Black Mirror”.   While riding around on my bike taking pictures,  I could only shake my head. 

  • Berlin, Flesh and The Devil

    While going around taking images of Berlin in stand still I remembered the 1959 film “The World, The Flesh, and The Devil”.  A 1959 starring Harry Belafonte roaming an empty post apocalyptic New York City landscape. While the German Capital is not quite in that setting the urban atmosphere has an eerie feel.  As if […]
