I just changed a film in my camera when I saw this great woman on the bike. I wished so hard that the traffic light turned red and I got the chance to ask her for a photo. I fell in love with her turquoise skirt, not only because it is my favorite color. The skirt was so colorful, cheerful and vibrant – just like the woman was. The lights turned green and I was very happy to get this picture without being run over by the passing cars.
I couldn’t stop looking at her. I thought the reason I noticed her was her nice turban and clothes. But actually, it wasn’t. It was rather the way she was. The quietness and balance she emitted. I was still thinking: There was one more thing about her. The flowers. Unfortunately, I realised too late to take a close up of them. I can still see her in my mind holding these, on first glance ordinary looking, small dried up flowers with such love and care.
I was so focused on the beautiful hairstyles of both (and the glasses once again) that I haven’t realized that I’m making photos not of two but of three.
I saw her from behind. She was waiting at the traffic lights. I got curious and wanted to find out how she looks like. And she did look great. Not only she had my favourite music band on her T-shirt, she was also beautiful and nice. I loved the way she was dressed, casual and perfectly combined at the same time.
She was walking on the bridge with this small cute flower that reminded me of a wedding flower. Tall, beautiful. I thought, just perfect and when I started to take pictures of her it got even better. She seemed to have as much fun as I did.
At first, I saw the nice red colour. And when the nice red dress got closer, I saw the beautiful face of this woman. She looked so feminine in that long red dress, topped by her beautiful curly hair.
I was done with making photos for the day and I wanted to finish it with nice lemon ice-cream. I was standing in a queue when I noticed this guy. Perhaps it was the glasses once again. (By now I got already my own first glasses, so I assume that my obsession with the glasses will go away.) I just found this guy so nice and interesting that I left the queue to ask him for a photo. I was so focused on taking pictures of him, that I didn’t hear a bicycle running into me. But obviously, he did see it:-)
I was walking on the Kottbusser Damm not really observing people yet. I was lost in my thoughts and suddenly I see this sunglasses, the haircut, leather jacket. I had to think about Travolta, Grease, Rock and Roll. The woman was dressed so nicely colourfully. The sunglasses in style of the sixties and so great shoes. I reacted quickly and I was lucky to get these pictures.
The second guy caught my attention at the first sight because of his long hair, but after I had looked at him through the viewfinder I realised his strong presence. I loved his look beside the camera. I enjoyed making a picture of him very much. Unfortunately, by the third guy, I was wrong with the focus. I´m looking forward to my new glasses!
