APRIL 1984
Unter die Mauer
Berlin ’84
The Berlin Wall stood from August 13, 1961 to November 9, 1989, a shade over 38 years. At the time I prowled the streets of West Berlin and crossed several times into East Berlin taking photographs of what I saw. None are posed.
Looking back at these pictures now feels like watching a silent movie. Moments in lives of strangers offer glimpses into living histories.
