Happy New Year 2010!

Another year gone by, but for us a pivotal year that meant a com­pletely new dir­ec­tion for 42live. After many years of loose pro­jects we are now in Ber­lin and tak­ing our first steps towards some­thing more sub­stan­tial. It’s been ups and downs but every time I see the found­ing date of this domain, Janu­ary 2002, I think that in these 7 years of vari­ous dis­guises and themes, 42live has sur­vived well and Ber­lin is exactly the right place and time to take our col­lab­or­at­ors’ work to the masses.

So, on behalf of us at 42live I would like to thank every­one that has shown interest and sup­por­ted this col­lect­ive so far, and take the oppor­tun­ity to wish all and every­one a great new year — 2010!  With this our goal is to estab­lish ourselves with Ber­lin as a base, and to pro­duce our first real live exhib­i­tion in sum­mer 2o10!  All this is still in the plan­ing stage but until then, thanks for being there and may the next year be as cre­at­ive and inspir­ing as 2009 was for this collective!

Peter A. Mankowski,
founder 42live

Decay in urban photography
