Germany 2012 - Black and White

I did a germany trip again with two friends of mine. This is a part of the outcome.

Ze Germans 2012 / Cologne - Puppets

So one evening I got bored of doing street photography. So I did this. It has a sort of artsy vibe to it, and I'm sort of embarassed by it, but on the other hand I do like them.

Back to photos from Germany, more of Cologne. There's really not a lot to say abou these...

Ze Germans 2012 / Architecture from Cologne (Colour)

I'm getting fed up with Münster, and I suspect you are, too. So I thought I'd introduce you to the next stop of my Germany trip: Cologne. A friend of my uncle showed me around and hooked me up with a bed (thanks again). This is some architecture, obviously. Shot at the Rheinauhafen.

Long exposures always look good, I guess.

It's colour, finally.

Ze Germans 2012 / Street in Münster (B&W 2)

One observation I made during my week in Germany is that there is a sort of critical size for street photography in cities: If they are small, people won't react bewildered when you are taking photos of them, as they are not suspecting you to do wrong. If the city is big, people simply won't care because they see strange stuff every day. A lot of people in Münster seemed to be quite unhappy with me photographing them.

My first stop was my mom's hometown, Münster. Visiting Münster always feels a bit like coming home to me, which might be why I didn't really feel that creative in the three days I spent. I don't know enough about the city to do local-ish photography, but I also know it well enough to not be inspired by it constantly. Anyway, i did make some nice photographs. Expect more. (This is a reflection of a billboard in a puddle, I didn't just photoshop a baby's face on a street.)
