"Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home" (James Joyce, Ulysses).
When I moved to Berlin with my partner in July 2011 our intention was to try living there permanently, and for most of the first 8 months or so we were there that was still the objective. As it turned out, events (the conception of our daughter) made a return to the UK after a year the most practical option. These photographs were taken both during the period when I thought I would be a permanent Berlin resident and after we had decided to return. When I moved to Germany I thought I might end up taking different photographs to those I had been taking for the previous half decade or so in the UK. As it transpired, the subjects might have been different, but the pictures were basically the same. As the old trope has it, wherever you go, there you are. But now, a few years after taking these pictures, I'm still reasonably happy with them as a summary of what Berlin felt like to me.
