Saving stories (old photos collection)

berlin, brandenburg, collection, germany, old, photos, saving, stories

Flea markets are always been fascinating, expecially if they are authentic, not just markets, but places where people bring their unused stuffs and try to sell them.
Berlin has a very strong tradition of flea markets and some of them are really beautiful, expecially (sad to say) because there are still a lot of houses and appartments in Brandenburg that have been closed in the last 20 years from the fall of the Berlin wall and now that they open them again.
Going around and spending hours looking for photos is another small passion that we have, but the meaning is double: having same nice old photo and saving people's stories. Some of these photos are well made, technically in lighting and composition, others have impressed me for their story or for what they can tell or maybe because of the background story behind the photo.

This is a small collection.
