'Großstadt in der Nacht' #FotoVorschlag

I used to travel a lot on business back then, and Frankfurt am Main (#FFM) was often my base for various meetings. In the evenings, I’d wander around the city and try to unwind after the day’s work. Those were silly times, and when I look back on them now, there’s a lot I’d have done differently. But I probably wouldn’t be thinking that way today if I’d done it back then.

It’s been far too long since I last got round to posting anything here - too much work, old habits, not enough time. Today’s #PhotoSuggestion, ‘Big #City at #Night’, is finally a good fit again.

Evening city skyline reflected in a large puddle beside a riverside walkway. Illuminated glass skyscrapers glow gold and blue against a deep twilight sky, while metal railings in the foreground create strong geometric lines leading toward the city. The calm water reflection mirrors the buildings and lights, adding symmetry and contrast to the urban scene.

              Pilot Mountain - The Failed 2nd Coming
              --

              One of my first ever big expeditions with a Camera was, against all good reason, was to climb the 3-4 miles to the top of Pilot Mountain - after working 10 hours that day.

              Thursday, I had it in mind to come back to the mountain with fresh eyes and some experience.

              Well... ehhh, I also didn't plan the timing of the day very well, as, as you can see, I don't have an actual photo of the mountain.

              "Firekeeper, why do you not have pretty picture of Mountain?"

              BECAUSE THE SUN WAS BEHIND IT!

              Ughh, Charlie Brown. Well, I suppose my next visit to this splendiferous Mountain will be had at 7:00pm rather than 7:00am next round, but nonetheless, I did walk the top and grab shots as I went, and made the most of the morning mist down below, or as much as I could of it.

              I took WAY more photos than I thought I did Thursday so these first four will be the first of eight to twelve from that trip. Right now, 8 seems more definite, so here's the first 4 that I've edited thus far.

                      Ein Triebzug der Baureihe 612 in Mehrfachtraktion steht auf einem der äußeren Gleise am Erfurter Hauptbahnhof. Bei mir im Norden fahren diese Neigetechnik-Züge nicht. Also habe ich hier eine seltene Gelegenheit für ein Foto meiner #Angekuppelt -Serie. Der helle Hintergrund lädt ein zu Silhouetten: in Schwarz-weiß, weil das Rot des Zugs sowieso sehr dunkel wäre. Aus mehreren Aufnahmen sticht diese heraus. Neben dem dekorativen Element der Bahnhofshalle wirken die Köpfe der beiden Frauen wie Büsten.

                      A multiple-unit train of the 612 series is parked on one of the outer tracks at Erfurt Central Station. These tilting trains don’t run where I live up north. So this is a rare opportunity for a photo for my #Coupled series. The light background lends itself to silhouettes: in black and white, because the red of the train would be too dark anyway. This one stands out from several shots. Next to the decorative element of the station concourse, the heads of the two women look like busts.

                      Zwischen den Köpfen von zwei angekuppelten Triebfahrzeugen hindurch sind zwei Frauen auf dem dahinterliegenden Bahnsteig als Silhouetten zu sehen. Direkt dahinter ist die Glaswand der Bahnhofshalle. Die Frauen sind bis etwa zur Schulter sichtbar. Zwischen ihnen ist ein dekoratives Element der Hallenkonstruktion zu sehen. Daneben wirken sie wie Büsten. Auch der Zug ist fast nur eine Silhouette. Lichtreflexe auf der spiegelnden Oberfläche lassen aber die dreidimensionale Form sichtbar werden. Between the fronts of two coupled multiple-unit trains, two women on the platform behind them are visible as silhouettes. Directly behind them is the glass wall of the station concourse. The women are visible down to about shoulder level. A decorative element of the hall’s structure can be seen between them. Next to it, they look like busts. The train, too, is almost entirely a silhouette. However, light reflections on the reflective surface reveal its three-dimensional form.

                        A black-and-white street photograph captured in a raw, minimalist mood. Two women walk through heavy rain across a wide urban square, both shielding themselves with dark umbrellas against the wind and water. They move from left to right, slightly bent forward, giving the scene a feeling of movement and resistance against the weather. The woman in front wears a light long quilted coat reaching below the knees and carries a dark handbag hanging from her forearm. Her face is mostly hidden beneath the umbrella, making her appear anonymous and distant. A few steps behind her walks the second woman, dressed in a shorter jacket and dark trousers, with a backpack on her back. In one hand she holds an umbrella, while behind her she pulls a soft rolling travel bag gliding across the wet pavement. The background is dominated by a massive concrete wall covered in repetitive vertical textures that resemble falling rain or rough woven fabric. The geometric rhythm of the wall contrasts with the fragile human silhouettes crossing the empty foreground. The wet ground reflects pale light, while the strong black-and-white contrasts intensify the cold, melancholic atmosphere of the frame. The composition is spacious and balanced, using negative space to emphasize isolation, routine, and the quiet poetry of everyday city life.

                          Today was a special day. As you can see, there's concrete in these photos. This is "The Jungle" as they say, full of apes, not squirrels, and this Jungle in particular, is downtown Statesville, NC.

                          Why Statesville, plaid-clad camera-person?
                          Because Statesville is the new location of my cousin's tattoo parlor, that just opened, and I got to photograph it!

                          It's called "The Parlor", go on, go there, he's awesome.

                          While those photos aren't public, Statesville very much is, so here's some photos I took yesterday of downtown.

                          As usual, my goal isn't as much to document where I am like I'm trying to prove it exists to a speculative audience, I just took a few shots while I was there.
