Give me time. I'm taking it slow and looking for suitable subjects.

I don't usually ask to take photos on the street, but I stopped and chatted with this guy. He's a street harmonica player who sits in the sun at the opening of a tunnel under Chicago's Lake Shore Drive, using the tunnel as his amplifier. It sounds amazing. I tipped. We talked. Before 9/11, he said, he could make $400 on a Saturday. Now he's lucky if he breaks 50. "That changed people," he said. "Made us all suspicious."

no pressure..!...and no promises :)
Yes times has chanced, a strange sort of combination of going in mental shelters and being more selfish at the same time...we all might need to reinvent some sort of "sense of community" and social empathy if we want to get our different societys around the World back on track...
..hope to get out of my shelter this weekend too..

PS..my litle story from the #130 Picture was, that he stopped and asked for an adress, while he was going to meet his polical spin-doctor, while he was going to run for the municipal election in Copenhagen for the love- and anarchy-party (..!) at the 19. of november this year. :)

I don't know about this, but I said I would give it a try. It feels a little forced and pretentious. I admit, though, that it has a story and suggestiveness that likely would not be there in a straight treatment. I like that.

Oh Lord, tell me it's not truth.....it's closed....hopefully only for today...I would have shown you this little marvel of a shelter…





now I'm going to overload you..please let me take you by your hand just for a tiny walk in my beloved Copenhagen..while I ask for forgivenes...
Theres a blues-festival in town...and Nyhavn is filled with people...lets hurry through..

No thank you, your pancakes looks wonderful but I have to preserve the figure..





but thanks heaven, this place is open, but way too crowded
(Every sort of trading buisines and carrying groceries by the main stair is forbidden…it says)




so people had to smoke and drink their beers outside...
