take back your life

These pictures were taken while running errands in Düsseldorf. Over the next few days you will see more pictures from the Düsseldorf area, because it’s always easier to shoot while travelling. That’s probably why there is a large subset of street photographers who hardly ever shoot where they live. I’m obviously not one of them, but I definitely understand why this is easier for some people. Shooting in a place that you know too well can become rather monotonous and boring. Good to mix things up every now and then.

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

For some reason this is my favourite one of the series. Not very narrative, but definitely pretty.

The Düsseldorf subway is way too dark to take pictures, actually. Too much noise.
