It started in December 2016 when my parents visited me for two weeks and we had a family trip together. During that trip I was thinking about a challenge I could do to myself throughout 2017 to improve my skill as a hobbyist photographer. There's a famous quote by Chase Jarvis, "The best camera is the one that's with you." I was intrigued. There was a wild imagination in my head to start using my current mobile phone as my daily camera, capturing stills I might find, wherever I am.
And here it is, a documentation of my life in 2017 with my cellphone camera. In monochrome_
New Year's Eve
Fireworks. Sparkling wine. Smiles. Shouts. Hugs. Kisses. Hopes. Happy New Year!

We're still looking for warmth to overcome winter in Berlin.
What a cold day in Berlin in early January. I was walking around Kurfürstendamm from a fitness studio in Europa Center shopping center.
A view from my window
cars. people. sometimes dogs.
I clearly remember that morning when it was freezing outside in Berlin. Stayed at home was a damn great idea since the weather was really unfriendly... plus I was fresh graduate, job-seeking man back then. What could I do better?

A short walk outside my apartment since I wanted to go grocery shopping as well.

Crossing the street, straight up to the weekend.
Before I went grocery shopping, I stood at a traffic lights in Seestraße crossing and took this picture. Then I thought, "Hello, weekend."

Torfstraßensteg is the name. Back then I still had time to do an evening walk around my apartment and it was a joy watching people playing with the snow.
