In November 1989 the Berlin Wall began to crumble and my sister made plans to head out to Berlin for the New Year celebrations and what she predicted to be 'the party of the century'. Needling little encouragement to join her, I borrowed a Pentax K1000 35mm camera from the Art College stores and grabbed a few rolls of film before heading out. The resultant images are grainy and poor quality in many respects but they remind me of an incredible evening which culminated in standing on top of the Brandenburg Gate and looking down on hundreds of thousands of people as they celebrated as fireworks screamed by. One of a few occasions in my life when I was conscious of seeing history in the making.
