Street photography (York, PA)

While Sue and I are in the States this summer for deputation meetings, opportunities arise for me to fit in some street photography and photowalks.
This past saturday was a perfect day for a photo stroll in downtown York, PA.
My goal was to shoot all b/w photos but couldn't resist the splashes of colour!  I stopped to chat with people along the way.  I tend to be adventurous but not (too) foolish – always aware of my surroundings while walking alone with a camera in high violent crime areas.
All-in-all a pleasant afternoon.  Ready to go again!

Promotional presentations

Over the coming days I'll be taking photos and putting together several promotional presentations (.ppt) for workers at the CEF European Regional Office.

Sometimes getting the right angle for a photo requires a bit of (physical) flexibility ...I nearly got my head and camera wedged between the railings in the narrow space leading to the cellar.

Besides being drawn to the interesting colors and patterns in this scene, I took the photo to show all the work and preparations needed for serving the many students passing through Kilchzimmer.  Sonja has quite the collection of home made jams and preserves in the cellar.
