Couple in Rain


I got this rain cape for my camera. It's basically not much more than an oddly shaped plastic bag that's open on both ends. It has a string on one end so you can tighten it where the lens sticks out, and a little hole for the viewfinder. It's probably the most overpriced product after movie theater popcorn, but just as the popcorn, it seems very valuable when you are in the mood for it :)

I'm probably not the only one who thinks that there is something romantic about heavy rain on a warm night. The old city of Philadelphia works perfectly for me to fit this mood.

First Wedding Attempt

I had the opportunity to take some wedding pictures for a friend.

Only recently I noticed that there is wedding photography out there that I actually find interesting. Not that I don't like wedding pics, but photography wise, I often find them a little dull after a while.

When I saw a friends wedding pictures taken by Alison Mayfield (who belongs to the Christian Oth Studio), I noticed how nicely it can be combined with street photography. So I had the chance to try, Steffi and I accompanied freshly married Tim and Emilia on the streets for what I think was an hour. Luckily, when you are in New York City, scenery almost always looks kind of OK, perfect for some spontaneous shooting - here are my favorites.
