I arrived in Cologne Germany with my business partner and fellow photographer Michael Reichmann yesterday.  We are here to cover Photokina, the worlds largest photo show.  As I always like to do in a city I visit is grab my camera and go out shooting.  I took the Olympus EM-1 out yesterday and made quite a few nice images.  This one of a boy playing with a balloon with his dad was the winner.  I shot it wait a 100-300 lens on the camera and that allowed me to shoot from across the street without them knowing.  Bottom line is spontaneity.

Organ Grinder

Organ Grinder, Cologne, Germany

In my travels I love to wander the streets and see what can be found.  This is called street photography.  This shot was taken in Cologne Germany of a man in a public square grinding an organ.  I couldn’t resist.  Originally shot on a Leica M8 and then on my iPad I played with it a bit.  Hope you are staying cool.  It is so hot out that it is hard to breathe.  If this breaks there will be some major storms.  Might be some good photography too.
