Not sure whether this dog was actually out to attack the girl or just eager to get on with the walk.

I like how the boy is too lazy to stand while waiting for the light to change.

This one is all about the hands.

Ah, to be young again. Nah, I’m kidding, I’m probably not that much older than them.

Conspiring, I guess. It looks like they’re having fun.

All pictures taken with my Olympus Pen E-PL3 and my Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7 ASPH.

Yesterday we went to a bookshop on Friedrichstraße so that I could buy a new notebook. Every day I fill some pages in a small moleskine notebook to collect ideas and get certain things off my mind. It helps. My current one is almost full, so it was time for a new one. A friend recommended the Leuchtturm notebooks, but I find the soft cover ones too thin. I clearly prefer the soft cover ones. After looking at them for a while I decided to stick with my black soft cover moleskine one. Last time I already tried a red hardcover one and I didn’t like it as much.

On the way I took a ton of pictures, most of them not very special. However, a few good ones came of it anyway. As always I also edited some pictures in the morning and looked at quite a number of inspiring street photos on Google+ as well. I really like G+ for all the different perspectives from all over the world. Hard to not get inspired by that.

I also managed to read a bit more of my novel for my process of editing. It’s not going to be easy, but I’m looking forward to it nonetheless.

Slowly I’m recovering from surgery as well. It’s getting a bit easier every day and the pain gets less too. I guess there is some hope yet that all the pain will be gone eventually.
