Dresden
Wednesday, February 11th, 2015..May 2011.. ..Dresden..
Walking up the hill across from the Slaughterhouse where Kurt Vonnegut was during the bombardment of Dresden.
Many years after Dresden was destroyed tons of stone debris from the baroque city was cleared to numerous sites around the edge of the city. The majority of the rubble was buried under this massive hill.
On sun splashed spring afternoon it’s hard to imagine that it was created from the horrors of war. Underneath the grass the memories of a once glorious city and pieces of people’s lives uncomfortably rest.

Mrs. Lieselotte Jakob
Wednesday, December 10th, 2014..December 2014.. ..New York..
I received the sad news that Mrs. Lieselotte Jakob passed away earlier this year. Mrs. Jakob was one of the Dresden fire bombing survivors I photographed during my first trip to Dresden.
When I returned to Dresden with the From Above exhibition in 2011 she told me that the venue, where the exhibition was held in, was one of the places she and her family had slept in the night after the destruction of Dresden on February 13th, 1945.
I consider myself lucky to have spent time with Mrs. Jakob. She is missed. It was an honor to have known her.
