Artist's Comments

The Man, the Moustache and the World.

What motivated me to take the photo? I walked past him at first, but when I saw the sexy German-type moustache (SORRY!) I had to walk back and take a photo. I liked the pose and the briefcase.

As I never had or have used an exposuremeter before - I overexposed it a little, a humane mistake. But who cares, I got the photo I wanted. Here it is.

Taken in Germany, Trier. Early November 2006.
Leica M4-P, 50mm Summicron, Agfa APX 100
Shot 1/250s at 4.0, as far as I remember. I chose 4.0 for the depth of field, and just felt the shutterspeed would be right at 1/250s.

Hopefully that's all. The last day submitting rocks.

Edit: Oh, I forgot. Developed in d76. Scanned from the negative.

Anyway, really nice capture.

Photos happen in your brain. You're just lucky you have a camera.

Yeah, that's what I thought too when I saw this the first time as a scan, but some moments pass by so quickly... Taking a few steps forward could have exposed me. :)
