While I was in the Düsseldorf area I also used the opportunity to take some pictures in Neuss where I used to go to school. It’s a strange place with a rather odd mix of characters walking around. You can see just about anything there from conservative rich people to the most miserable junkies. The most annoying part of this shooting session was probably that it started to rain every few minutes. Somehow I managed not to get too drenched though.
All pictures taken with: Olympus Pen E-PL3 and Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7 ASPH.

It says: Shoes 5€. Apparently the mannequins all have to stay barefoot though.

What I like most about this picture is the hand in the pocket of the guy in the foreground.

During high school I occasionally drank some beers with course mates in here.

I love how this boy makes sure he doesn’t step over the line! Kids can be so obsessive compulsive.
No. 6 – Alien in Neuss? 😉
Real street shots, giving me a feeling of the city.
Last week I walked through my city and tried to copy your sight. But I didn’t got it. In no. 10 and 17 (will you do me a favor and get your shots numbered?) you shot the right moment. I think you’re seeing people and situations. I’m recognizing patterns in the city.
Thanks for your POV!
