while the street art exhibition titled vandalism earlier this year was a hit the festival is meant to build on the success. plan saying on the subject of street art and berlin we want to take a look at a man who likes to roam the city streets at night in search of the right shot photographer usually on a fall finds beauty in gas stations or restaurants or fields of flowers now far off our house our likes and analog camera and natural light we're using old school techniques in this digital age he shows us things which look artificial but are actually real. when a photo needs to be taken. then even if it's nice at night in berlin and eight degrees below zero. the photographer works like a detective he's focused and very selective.

each of his pictures is thought provoking and full of secrets. these strangely abstract images tell stories that are devoid of people. stop enough nama to know what i think the night shots tell very different kinds of stories with the interior shots it's mainly about the materials that is all my thoughts light is usually omnipresent if with and has a strong effect on surfaces and reflects everything. with night shots but if you have the shadows in this gloom which tell more of a story also i thought the whole the semantic she states is.

that if t. think the tao ought i try to capture the aesthetics are generated by this location as best as i can in the photo i'm sure anything that interferes is eliminated gunfighters kind of course no people appear in the pictures to distract from the aesthetics of think ons of something and with night shots it's clear that much of the surroundings is shrouded in black and that you don't see much that's my approach. conscience scene that's a slow down inside thank. you guy some just maybe not but i have my own i compared a bit with painting where you keep adding layers until you think that the. tour is

finished and stop looking it's also the same with scouting out locations for buildings so you keep coming back and seeing what state they're in. and when they're finished i think or just before they're ready to be used so you have to be there to take a picture doesn't experience a mom. who else would shoot the back of an industrial building or a garage entrance at night. julieann fellow harbor is patient and. normally just eight photos a year means he's exacting standards so his study of work is small but his picture has a large format they feasted an international exhibitions and collections. little involvement in things i always want to work with things that are produced by people i will offer but here too i try to exert as little influence as possible. of course that's objective and through time i try not to stage things too dramatic way for them

rather i let them speak for themselves i do that with spaces too but it's harder to convey off because they look so bright and unreal. born in southern germany in one nine hundred seventy five fall happen now calls billion home. he takes us to places that are familiar yet unfamiliar the t.v. studios of german public broadcasters that d n a rental car off as. he shows us the skies over cairo where the light from neon signs illuminates the haze like an abstract painting. supermarket shelves empty and mysteriously beautiful. like this work for the new york times magazine in twenty eleven what looks like painted stripes untouched to live fields seen from above that's also meant as a standard set up here in the home when i said i was going to holland to photograph

tulips people thought of these cliched images. romantic pictures of to look through in the. sun but what came of it was an image that defied people's expectations from the ice. and he did it without resorting to tricks all supplementary deicing you land falling hard as images on more than five sous. the countdown is on to what is most likely going to be the wedding of the year prince harry and meghan marco will finally tie the knot this saturday with the world watching now for normal wedding preparations usually began a year in advance while harry and megan got engaged just six months ago so you can imagine the frenzy surrounding their big day we take a closer look now at some of the preparations under way in the second part of our series dream wedding.

the countdown is on to their big day. the preparations in windsor are well underway . the town just west of london and its famous castle will be hosting the oil wedding festivities. the most more than an intimate role weddings tend to happen at windsor and that was very much what harry wanted for his own wedding he wanted as much of a family wedding and as and for will and affairs he possibly could and the best backdrop for that was deemed to be some georges and he lets windsor has a very close connection with when. harry was baptized in st george's chapel where the couple are to exchange their vows they've invited six hundred guests less than half the number of william and kate's wedding the sealed invitations sent out weeks ago were printed by barnard in westwood in london the guest list is top secret it said not to include any heads of government so prominent names won't be in short supply. make in being

a hollywood actress well i think we can expect to see some of her costars from suits friends that she's made in hollywood priyanka chopra for example serena williams who's a close friend so meghan will certainly bring a good sprinkling of start to us that we might otherwise not have asked the royal wedding the occasion will bring the british royal house and hollywood together that poses a special challenge in planning the ceremony course protocol is quite strict. some of those people that she will be inviting are presumably hollywood's a list and they used to being the most important person in the room when they go anywhere if they're invited to this sweating they're not going to be among the most important people in the rain we've got the whole of the british royal family not least the queen of england and when she's in a ring she's the most important person in the rain. also on the guest list are making marco's divorced parents doria raglan and thomas market though it's still

unclear whether her father will attend or not. like all the guests they would have to observe a dress code the men are to appear in uniform morning coat or lounge suit the ladies are to wear day dress with a hat making marco's wedding gown is another secret and so is the bridal bouquet london florist philip a tragic that's the job of creating it make it is said to love peonies but the royals are partial to this flower myrtle. queen elizabeth had them in her. as did lady diana. so much as a strong tradition. queen victoria was given a sprig of by. and she took that policy back. and from there on the spring. case ever since the first. daughter victoria and more recently kate middleton choosing to have. after the ceremony

harry and megan are to ride through windsor in a carriage specifically a nineteenth century ascot lando or if it rains in a scottish state coach. it will be pulled by the traditional windsor great horses because it's going to be a very busy day and very noisy why she is al cyclist. and so we tend to go for the old horses the old style just been around before and we know are a lot of. hundreds of thousands of well wishers are expected along the roadside through the town of windsor the procession has to end back at the castle then comes the wedding banquet in st george's hall in windsor. the menu and wine list are still objects of speculation but it is known who will bake the wedding cake. clear pathak owner of the violet bakery in london like megan she hails from california. what's dangerous. so interesting about this wedding is to see how their worlds and

i think certainly in the evening part of the celebrations that wedding party i think you're going to see in the house of mike and i think you can see a lot if the l.a. influence but of course the actual ceremony itself this is the royal wedding it will have all of the poem on the pageantry and circumstance that we expect the royal wedding and that's very much against be harry styles. rumor has it that elton john will be on hand and maybe even sing. for a while there was even speculation that the spice girls might reunite. the same time the wedding is meant to be as intimate and personal as possible. this is that day everything i've heard about how they planned it is that they've done it to put that own stamp on things i think they will to do things differently respectfully but differently because they're very keen for this to be their way to . whether it's private or full of pomp and circumstance california or british one thing's for sure prince harry and megan marco's wedding on saturday will be the

while events of the year. now is a good time to let you in on our draw this week now in light of harry and meghan's upcoming not nuptials we would like to know if you have a favorite wedding photo now it could be one from your own big day or even from someone else's if you share it with us you could qualify to win this royal wedding said you'll find all of the details on our website now when it comes to royalty there is a great deal of protocol but kings queens princesses and the like well they are all people too and with a sense of humor perhaps or even a nickname so here are. five odd nicknames given to european royals that you probably didn't know of. before she married prince william and became catherine duchess of cambridge kate

middleton had a fairly ordinary life. complete with house pets classmates and an interesting nickname our number five in school people called her sweet after the class guinea pig. today she may answer to her royal highness katherine still likes to mingle with common folk. her husband prince william also has an animal nickname. when he was a child his mother diana lovingly christened him a wombat on a trip to australia just like the marsupials found down under it's number four in our ranking of odd royal nicknames and rumor has it william still called wombat today. danish queen mother later the second is also not addressed as your majesty by her family since her childhood she answers to the

nickname b.c. . that's because the french name for this flower is my belief which sounds much like mugsy. for swedish crown princess victoria and her husband daniel the birth of daughter is still was really special for christening the swedish government gave her two hundred children's books including four spotty by margaret ray it's about a bunny who spots make him special so a sales nicknamed prick in our number two. thousand nine hundred ninety five denmark's crown prince frederick served with the danish naval special operations force the frogmen corps kiri answer to the name for penguin some say frederick got the name after getting a hole in his fragment suit which then filled with water when he went ashore he was like a penguin and the name stuck ever since. even royals

have a good sense of humor well one place where sunglasses selfies. are no laughing matter is that the con film festival and southern france protocol there is pretty strict now you may remember a couple of years ago there was a major shoe scandal at a festival because some actresses chose to wear flats instead of the obligatory high heels so in this vein my colleague drink kennedy points out they do is they and i don't say in con. they put me in the movie and the candidates go to happy. the cannes film festival red carpet is infamous for its rules which must be open eight times find out what you can and can't do. and the red carpet. the red carpet the place to be for everybody who is anybody and those who want to

be somebody the red carpet there are a few rules which much be this year no sunglasses my colleague was turned away for wearing sunglasses had to take them off they banned selfies on the red carpet and getting really aggressive to anyone who even has a phone out cannes festival director freeh mohammed colt's sophie's ridiculous and grotesque and heels heels are not officially part of the protocol anymore so i can wear heels you can wear here so you can definitely wear heels you know. i shall go. but. following the rule no sophie.
