Mehr Eisbaden in Berlin
© Britney Anne Majure I had to upload just one more image from my working series on Eisbaden in Berlin. I've attended a few of these weekly sessions of swimming in the ice water, and last week they had a splendid carnival time. The world they've created is like no other I've ever seen. It's natural, yet feels unnatural to an American like me who is not used to people walking around naked outside [!]. The humor, the naked joy, the freedom, and just pure elation these people breathe is inspiring and delightful. I really enjoy photographing this eccentric community!
Michael, above, is most interesting, as he was one of the founding members of the Eisbaden Berlin club in 1969 [he was 19] along with three others. They are now very many and attract hundreds each year for their carnival. I plan to interview him soon with his daughter translating or with a German journalist I commonly work with in Berlin.
Happy Winter everyone!
Love BA
