Talkin' ta me

....am working since a while on a "in-the-street-animals" series. for this I keep shooting, devloping and printing new shots in the darkroom but also, go through my older negatives. right now they are on a 18x24 baryt prints but should be printed (never got this terme as it's done in a classical way and not with a stupid printer) bigger to be exhibited later.....
Of course, I don't know personally the animals or their owners but ppl are often very proud of their "friends" and happy to be photographed (them included)

for this shot, I were talking with a friend next to his gallery (where six of my photos are, a little self promotion can't be bad) as this tough guy pulled his lady owner around. just had the time to jump in front of them, give a lil smile to the woman and start shooting that fellow. he just wouldn't stand still but that's the challenge aswell in street shots.

done with a german rangefinder camera and scanned from a tetnal vario baryt print
