The best wife of Allen wanted to visit her family. And I had booked a photo – workshop with the German street photography icon Siegfried Hansen<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

Thursday was the day, we flew off. We stayed at the Motel One in Haidhausen. A nice hotel that, with its location on Orl\u00e9ans Street, has easy access to both the East Station and the 62 bus line, which stopped virtually outside the door.<\/p>\n\n

The workshop started on Friday at 10:00 am. We met in a training room of an organization called “One World” or something like that. There were three other participants, another had fallen ill. Siegfried began a short entertaining presentation. A few photos were shown of each participant, which we had to send in beforehand. And everyone should briefly answer a few questions like “Why street photography?” or “How long have you been taking pictures?”. Quickly everyone agreed that the definition of this photo genre is rather unclear. And that we just like to take pictures. Each with a different focus.<\/p>\n\n

Siegfried photographs very focused on lines. How he came up with it was an interesting development that led via ice cream cones and packed motorcycles. Today he is one of the hottest photographers in this genre. He pays a lot of attention to geometric elements in his photos, which ideally still form some kind of connection. Or add another layer. But also verbally his North German – dry way is an entertaining inspiration, I immediately stole the word creation “Liniengewitter” from him!<\/p>\n
