The mannequin stood guard

Leica M10 Monochrom + Apo Skopar 1:2.8/90.

Glass, straps, light too white. In the back, a man works and saves the frame from theatre.

Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer, Apr 2026
Berlin Wall Memorial, Apr 2026

Menschen, die durch Löcher und Spalten in Mauern und Zäunen schauen – dieses Motiv gab es natürlich schon öfter. Fallen euch bekannte Aufnahmen dazu ein? Ich werfe mal Fred Steins „Hole in Fence“ von 1936 ein – übrigens noch bis Mitte Juni zu sehen in der Leica Galerie in Wetzlar.

People peering through holes and gaps in walls and fences—this motif has, of course, been seen many times before. Do you know of any famous photos like this? I’ll mention Fred Stein’s “Hole in Fence” from 1936—which, by the way, is on display at the Leica Gallery in Wetzlar until mid-June.

Frankfurt am Main, Jun 2025

Meisterhafte Standortwahl… 🙃 – die Lampe halb verdeckt und die Überwachungskamera mit im Bild (aber immerhin im Schatten). Aber vielleicht musste es auch wie so oft in der Streetfotografie schnell gehen. Nach fast einem Jahr habe ich jedenfalls einen für mich passenden Beschnitt gefunden. Nur dass ich mich nicht entscheiden kann: die nüchterne Klarheit der monochromen Variante oder doch die warmen Farben der Farbversion? Was bevorzugt ihr und warum?

Masterful choice of position… 🙃 – the lamp is half-hidden and the security camera is in the frame (but at least it’s in the shade). But maybe, as is so often the case in street photography, it had to be done quickly. In any case, after almost a year, I’ve found a crop that works for me. The only problem is that I can’t decide: the stark clarity of the monochrome version, or the warm colors of the color version? Which do you prefer, and why?

The stop that does not wait.
Ricoh GRIV Monochrome.
Blown-out light, three silhouettes, and a pavement with no mercy. The street does not always focus. Sometimes it just pushes.

Star With a Monday Face
Ricoh GR IV Monochrome
A badly combed star covers the head. Eyes hang like evidence. White shows no mercy.

Between shelter and exposure.

A man pauses under the arcade while the street behind him burns into white. Phone in hand, bag at his side, eyes already elsewhere.

#Tramstag

Ich mag ja den Durchblick, den Straßenbahnen, U-Bahnen, S-Bahnen und einige Regionalzüge bieten, wo man durch lange Wagen durchblicken kann. Die regelmäßig wiederholten Sitze, Haltestangen, Displays und Lampen erzeugen interessante Muster. Die neuen Rostocker Straßenbahnen (Stadler TINA) wirken auf mich im Innenraum immer ziemlich steril. Dieses Schwarzweißfoto bringt das gut rüber, denke ich.

I really like the view you get on trams, subways, commuter trains, and some regional trains, where you can see right through the long cars. The repeatedly recurring seats, handrails, displays, and lamps create interesting patterns. The new #Rostock trams (Stadler TINA) always seem pretty sterile to me inside. I think this black-and-white photo captures that well.
