Please...no public displays of dissatisfaction (PDD), OK?


GIRL
You're driving me nuts with this obsession, Dieter! Please...you asked me and I told you! I'm sorry I said anything.

GUY
But you are wrong, Heidi. There's no way. It's a lot bigger than that. This can not be.

Photographer Simon Hoegsberg's "We're all gonna die. 100 meters of existence." is a composite of 178 people shot in the course of 120 days from the same spot on a railroad bridge on Warschauer Strasse in Berlin in the summer of 2007. I captured one section of it - see the row of pictures on the bottom?

As you observe the folks Hoegsberg caught in his lens you can't help but imagine what they're thinking. My take on this couple was the first thing that popped into my head. I mean, what else could they possibly be doing? Germans...sheesh.

See for yourself. Go to the post on my friend Tony's site, tuesdays. The photographer's site is linked there.
