First street walk in a long time. I actually underestimated the packed city, so I ran through a slightly smaller Christmas market, trying to escape the stressful shopping crowd.
MERRY XMAS :)

Snack Bar Portrait
While lurking through the snack bar area of central station, one of the sellers noticed the camera in my hand. He was joking around with his workmates and asked me to take a picture of him. Unluckily I was so surprised, that I neither checked the camera settings nor the focus. Oops…
What I have learned: Expect the unexpected! ;)
Step down
It is always worth taking a picture from underneath the big staircases at ‚Wandelhalle‘ (central station). The silhouettes of people walking down in combination with the dirty plexiglas(?) can result in a nice grungy high contrast look.
Girl waiting at central station
Lurking around at central station, hoping for some decent street shots, I was lucky catching a very brief moment, where nobody was running through my composition!
Lunch break dreaming
Walking around the Alster, I spotted this young man in a suit, taking a little nap in the sun. Genuine lunch break :)
Fairy boat man
Yesterday, I ran into this cashier at the fairy boat stop. He seemed to be eagerly waiting for some customers…
Paperwork
Walking down the streets, I already noticed that fella outside a cafe from far distance. He was intensely looking through some paperwork, which would have made a perfect shot imo. With no time to waste I sneaked up on him. Just by the time I raised the camera to my eye, he put his head up. Damnit – caught in the act again! Well, something you have to consider shooting street :)
