Part of my time in Berlin was also spend with Raul Walch (www.raulwalch.net). Super chill guy living in the Kreuzberg (where the hipsters thrive, though he begs to differ). Here's some pics of his place, he's been living in the same spot for about 10 years. It's really nice and central location - really helpful.
Onto Oranienstraße 33
A nice setup with lots of books.
Raul does photography frequently.
Raul's just gotten back from Japan for a 3 months or so residency. He's got a lot of little treasures lying around.
One day I helped Raul a bit to move some of his stuff from his old studio to new. We rented what is the equivalent of a uhaul but soo much less hassle. Not to mention that they use a way cooler logo.
Its like 5€ or something per hour and pay for gas.
One of Raul's works, not sure if it still runs.
This is like a freezone where some bums call their home. Lots of hub smoking and the like taking place there I think. It's directly across the street from the old place.
After getting the things out we delivered a kind of portable kitchen to Raul's buddies who have just gotten a new place near Mitte. Raul has been doing these things for some time, its a modular kitchen that can be easily transported and setup anywhere. It runs on a gas tank so no reason to worry about the electricity.
Dudes setting up the kitchen. The found this place for a crazy deal and have started rennovating and tearing out walls and ceilings.
Overall Raul and his peeps are super chill dudes, looking forward very much to our next meeting.
