As seen during the night from my balcony and bathroom window.

No new pictures today. So here's one I took back in 2002 at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf.
Picture steal of the week. Somehow this picture epitomises New York in the early 80s for me. More about Bruce Davidson here.
The next victim in my Record Store shoot spree. Again a quick attempt.
Last Chance in Dortmund. Around for even longer than Discover, it's still one of my favourites.
I hope to capture it a bit better for my upcoming Record Store Gallery.
Oh, and I bought nothing this time.
Record Store photography. What an excellent idea. That's what I'll do.
Starting off with my local favourite Discover Music here in Bochum. The shot is not as good as I wanted it to be but it had to be taken in a hurry.
Why in a hurry? Because you look like a total weirdo standing in the street and taking pictures of a record store. That's why.
That's also what the owner told me when I entered the shop after finishing my quick photo session. But hey! I'm a customer for longer than the current younger clientele have been able to walk upright. And I still buy Vinyl. That surely must give me the right to be a bit weird.
Anyway, I seriously plan to produce a photo gallery of record stores I have frequented over the quarter of a century I'm now buying music. Record Stores have to be documented as long as there are still some around.
And here is what I bought today:
Tigerbeat - 13 Songs (Vinyl Album)
Missy Elliot - This Is Not a Test (Vinyl Album)
Ryan Adams - Love Is Hell pts. 1&2 (10" Vinyl Album)
Let's step back a few days to Christmas.
Out of tradition we had a nice Feuerzangenbowle on December 26. This picture shows my old friend Tom Loewe and his newly wed wife Simone.
Quite a fun evening.
