up on the staircase K

can no longer shoot the shit with you,
the bullets just get stuck:
couldn't care less about who did, saw, said, or hid
what
from him, she, them, they, or her.
looking to our past for a lackluster future
of the present.
lagging while participating in a diverse conformity.
laying in the brick I breath underwater
cos the planes have started flying
and the sky ain't so blue again.

in the meantime, Berlin..


Nectar.


Homeboy bringing Hawaii to Berlin..


I wonder if they know what they are missing..



Two more samples of the amazing work on the Berlin Wall.



Sorry, your party has been over.





Beyond amazing architecture in this city.



Reminder of years past..






Currywurst break.


Pointless.


A Man of many sides, Snoop.



German Engineering is no joke.


Erik, a man of the Map and overall awesome travel companion.


Ditching the car when I get home for one of these..


My left foot & skateboard.


Skating this thing made me feel like it was the first time I'd ever stepped on a board. DIY from the guys at Skatehalle. Lennie ripped it like a mini ramp.




Lennie & Erik.


Hats off the Lennie Burmeister, for lighting this up so Erik and I could attempt to skate this piece of heaven. Erik ended up finding some lines, but I was slumping about and getting lost in the labyrinth of the shallow end.

[Lennie's Part from
'Objectif Lune']



Berlin is beautiful, there is no other way I can really put it. The city has so much history and has been through so much in the past century. Three days was much to short to really get a taste of what this city has to offer. Berlin's relaxing atmosphere even put a calm to my blistering toes yelps. Seeing how far the city has come over the past twenty years is mind blowing. Buildings seem to just sprout up out of the ground. Walking the streets really gives off a sense of breathing. From the hip towns that mirror Fishtown in Philly to the industrial side of the city; there is always something happening. Tradition meets growth. Berlin, I will be back.

in the meantime, Part Two: Praha..




The cleanest Metro in Europe.


Just missed the Method.


Arnold, back in the day.





Magic.




There hasn't been a city I have visited that did not have Andre slapped somewhere, Obey is global.


Solo Sojourn, First Night.


Just in case..


En route to the Metro.


The views from the Castle, atmosphere, and over all look of this city are beyond amazing. Makes one feel as if they are traveling back in time. One thing Prague, cut down on those t shirt shops & fire all the salesmen at the corners of the Cabarets. Praha, it was real.

In the Meantime...

Backstreet boys trying to get their's by the sea.


Daniel demonstrates one way to spend twelve euros.


Don't forget your hat!


David, South Park lover.


Here David ponders life.


Fernando y Ruben, friends for 10+ years and the friendliest dudes around.


Last night at Paral-lel


Saw some interesting things at night off this balcony.


Top = What my mind felt like at the end of this part of the trip, Bottom = The first stages of my feet beginning to hate me.



Myself, David, Daniel. The whole city could be seen from this vantage point, I hope I never forget how the lights look beside the Mediterranean.




Views from above. Parc Guell.


David: Front Nose.


Daniel.


All the film that was shot over the past three weeks should be back from the lab in about a week, hopefully less, but I'll be posting some digitals from my Sojourn during that time. Up first is Barcelona, a dream come true for me. All the myths you hear are true, pretty much the entire city is a skatepark, although the police have started to crack down at certain spots, MACBA being the hardest hit. Looking back at these shots really brings a smile to my face, big ups to Daniel and David: hope the clouds aren't brown back home in Sweden!
