This CSD 2026 was different. Like many, I was aware of the attack that took place during the parade, and my thoughts are with those affected. I won’t go into the details here.
I did take a few photos that day. I wanted to share what I did capture, these moments that reflect the spirit of CSD. And of course this part of what defines Berlin, and many other major cities across the Western world nowadays.
All photos were taken earlier in the day or in areas unaffected by the incident.
All images were captured in a public space during a public event. I believe in celebrating the authenticity of the moment. If you see yourself in these photos and would prefer your image to be removed—for any reason, no questions asked—please contact me in the comments (it won’t show your details) at and I will take it down immediately. No hard feelings.
