The museum had arranged everything properly.

The dead in the frame.
The living with their backs turned.
One man in the middle, explaining the arrangement.

StreetSoul — black and white street photography.

Heels on Battery

A heel on a scooter deck.
A curb waiting like a small bureaucrat.
The city sells speed and then makes you negotiate every inch of it.

Ein Triebzug der Baureihe 612 in Mehrfachtraktion steht auf einem der äußeren Gleise am Erfurter Hauptbahnhof. Bei mir im Norden fahren diese Neigetechnik-Züge nicht. Also habe ich hier eine seltene Gelegenheit für ein Foto meiner #Angekuppelt -Serie. Der helle Hintergrund lädt ein zu Silhouetten: in Schwarz-weiß, weil das Rot des Zugs sowieso sehr dunkel wäre. Aus mehreren Aufnahmen sticht diese heraus. Neben dem dekorativen Element der Bahnhofshalle wirken die Köpfe der beiden Frauen wie Büsten.

A multiple-unit train of the 612 series is parked on one of the outer tracks at Erfurt Central Station. These tilting trains don’t run where I live up north. So this is a rare opportunity for a photo for my #Coupled series. The light background lends itself to silhouettes: in black and white, because the red of the train would be too dark anyway. This one stands out from several shots. Next to the decorative element of the station concourse, the heads of the two women look like busts.

This frame needed room to breathe badly. Wide enough for tension, rough enough for abrasion, and open enough for one passing glance to sting it awake. The full write-up is on the blog.

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.
