The sun was mysterious today. She woke me up with a golden glimmer but was unspectacular during the day until I finished work at around 4 p.m. when she was strong and friendly again. Great tone and great shadows. But no subjects for my street photography series. But then I found this other guy who I frequently spot. He seemed so lonely in that open space – what a perfect coincidence!

Frankfurt from above is not unattractive. On the contrary, in comparison to other cities, there are not so many skyscrapers and so the focus lies on some few that are sticking out by architecture and light.
This is a photo which – as “street photography” so often has it – happened by chance. I was in another building (Juridicum / Goethe University) and saw this guy on the roof. A cinematic moment, I felt. He is not as clearly visible as I wanted him to, but there’s nothing you can do…

One of my first street photographies in Germany and the first presentable. Somehow I am having a hard time finding those “lonely” moments and getting people framed the way I like it. But the morning after New Years Eve I was walking home, watching people cleaning the city and Chinese tourists who were admiring a totally dirty Frankfurt Römer. Right there it happened and I snapped a shot of her.
Funny that she must be Asian of all nations, after I made so many photos in Taiwan and Japan. :)
