20 years on
With the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall comes an unarchiving of some very early photographs of Letterbox founder, Stephen Banham from the time and place in question. He was then living in Berlin in an apartment overlooking Potsdamer Platz when the wall opened up amidst massive crowds, confused police, water cannons, fireworks and even a performance by David Haselhoff on a cherry-picker wearing a jacket that flashed with lights. I’m sure people who were there that night will understand that momentous occasion. The wall too.
