Photography and exploitation of pre-conceived ideas

Platform, originally uploaded by Christ tell.

I went to Berlin two week ends ago, and I mischievously took photos that represented pre-conceived ideas about Germany. Although I stayed in Kreuzberg in Berlin which is very different to the rest of Germany, I wanted to capture some photos that represent a common view of Germany. Note the cleanliness, the 'No-frills' look, the rucksack, the clock to remind you of punctuality...
You can make your photos say anything. That's the magic of photography...
