1. Clear your calendar for August 30th !
The 9th Berlin Fotomarathon is already under preparation – it will take place on Saturday August 30th, still in Summer as many of you had requested.

As announced, the Fotomarathon will again be digital. After a successful full run in 2007, the software is now ready to collect and process all photos.

2. New Team Members wanted
The small team of volunteers at Fotomarathon is looking for 2 -3 new members: Are you a good organizer? Do you like working with people? Are you passionate about photography and Berlin ? Would you like some hands on experience at leading a small organization? Then this might be for you! Below are the kinds of things the FM team has to do to ensure the FM is a success.

- Outreach: contact with sponsors, press and media. Write press communiqués, calling up journalists, contacting sponsors.

- Organization of Fotomarathon and Jury session. We need to discuss the themes, arrange for the logistics, find the stations, organize a session for

Jurors to choose the prizes.

- Organization of Exhibition: from finding a space to preparing the photos and hanging them up! Greeting visitors and organizing the award ceremony.
This is the ideal chance! for those of you who are already, or are on the way to be, event managers, journalists, entrepreneurial photographers and
communicators. A fun and rewarding experience to be part of an innovative Berlin event!

If you are interested, please write by 30th June to: berlin.fotomarathon@yahoo.de with Subject: NEW FM TEAM. On July 1st at 19.30 we will organize an information session in a café in Friedrichshain to greet those who have replied and have our first meeting.

We welcome also other kinds of support. Do you know a great place for an exhibition, and can help us contacting the right people? Do you know
somewhere that would make an excellent Station for the Fotomarathon? Let us know, drop us a line!

Happenstudio |||| How close can I get?

René Simon shows 96 photographs of keitai-straps (Cell Phone Straps in
multifarious variations), he found in Tokyo and Hiroshima.

"Something in me changed. I felt like a hunter. I was hunting
keitai-straps in a forest of walking trees.

But then I realised they are everywhere! I can stand still and feed
them with my hands... they are so beautiful!"

The exhibition will also contain the serie "Tokyo, Kyoto, Miyajima"
and the serie "Nachtblick", that was shot in Sicily.

Opening 22. February, 8 pm
Exhibition 23.-29. February, 2pm-7pm
