Some images i took today before i went to the office. I should do that more often. Early morning sun makes street photography quite easy as even the most banal situation looks spectactular.

I put together a slideshow of color street photography images that i took over the last 12 months. I am not quite sure if color street photography is what i want to do in future. I am really looking forward to see what the responses to this slideshow will be.

The video is also available on youtube and, in much better quality, on vimeo.

I bought these two books by Andreas Herzau yesterday. Both books are a wild mix of black&white and color images. This is something i never thought i would like but actually it works out pretty well. Visit the website of Andreas Herzau for further information. Also make sure to check the blog he is doing together with Stefan Falke.

I took the picture below this morning using my Leica M9 and a 24mm/f3.8 Elmar lens. Almost every digital camera on the market uses an anti-aliasing filter while the M9 doesn’t. The lack of an AA filter normally translates into appreciably higher resolving power but may in some cases also lead to aliasing.

I took 6323 images with the M9 before this happens for the first time. I have no clue why the aliasing can be seen in frame 6324, maybe it’s the lens in combination with the structure of the wall in the background. Whatever the reason is, as long as it just happens every 6000 images i don’t worry too much.

Fellow Seconds2Real photographer Siegfried Hansen is featured in the current issue of fotocommunity plus magazine. Congrats Siegfried!

Berlin’s best known photo gallery, C/O Berlin, has to leave the beautiful Postfuhramt by March 2011. The building was sold to a foreign investor group. What a shame, i always loved the exhibitions at the Postfuhramt.
