Even though meanwhile in Germany I´ll continue the Americana photo series because there are still some typical images left to show. After nine weeks away from my american surrounding, the pictures start feeling as if from a distant place with a foreign context, which, of course they are. Are they still relevant? Maybe not, but I think they will accompany me for a while in this transitional period. I started the series because the images reflected my views and observations in the US. As I start the next episode of life here in Berlin with similar observations and images to come, showing the rest of the Americana series analog to present projects will be interesting in a crossover sense.

As "Close to Home" will be in Germany for the next couple of years, the Americana series and anything else regarding the US will appear in the "Focus" column.
