19850201DE Just as a treat because I can't post tomorrow and wishing you all a safe Mayday, I would like to present; Maria Gräfin von M. joined a resistance group against the Nazis already in 1933. During the war the vetinary surgeon helped many jews to escape as well as hiding her husband who was also jewish. There is a story that she suggested to the Nazi officer in charge of the search in her apartment that he should shoot at her sofa if he really believed that there was someone hiding in it, but that he would have to pay for the damage. He desisted and so her husband, who was hiding in there escaped. Later in the war she helped two russian girls out of a children's home, which was handy when the Russians took Berlin as she then got the assignment to tend to the Red Army's horses. Latterly she lived and practised in Kreuzberg, having a chimpansee and a parrot as companions. They don't make them like that anymore.

19880412DE Intimately associated with the leader of the local leftist vigilantes, originally formed to fight drug dealers in Kreuzberg, Sybille S. was pursued by another gang out of the backdoor of the venue she managed. The wall she had to climb was crowned by embedded broken glass. One of her fingers was injured. Out of a fear of doctors, she neglected to treat it and it turned gangrenous. She proceeded to amputate it herself with a kitchen knife. Hearing of this I asked to photograph her and she turned up wearing her favourite dress (her grandmother's). She is slightly awkwardly posed because I wanted to show the finger. A national liberal weekly saw the photo in my portfolio and asked if they could publish it. I sent a print to Sybille S. asking her permission. Soon after I received a phone call from said intimate friend who demanded that I send him the negatives. He offered to polish my face (the quaint German term) if I refused. It was communicated to me that the problem was a feeling of shame and how would I feel if my dick was shown in public. Mortified but cowed (the same friend and two others had offered to redecorate the offices of a leftist magazine I was working on with baseball bats) I sent them the negatives. Fortunately I had a good print from which this is copied. Later I heard that a radical art gallery had asked Sybille if they could encase the offending finger in plastic and exhibit it. Apparently she agreed under the condition that the finger be returned to her body when she died. She now represents the AfD in the Berlin parliament Berlin Germany #blackandwhite #103 #knownknowns&unknownknowns #art #realpeople #reallives #truestories #portraits #b&w #photography #instagram #street hughes-photography.eu www.flickr.com/photos/michael_hughes www.hughes.berlin
