This Gentleman was sitting outside of his Karl-Marx Strasse Hookah Store, just smoking some shisha and trying to draw some business in. I went into his store for a little while and asked if I could take his photo inside the store, and after he agreed, he begged me to take his photo outside! I really like this photo because it captures the moment very well. The reflection of the the other side of the street on the store window allow this photo to give the viewer a sense of the area in which it was taken. There are also vanishing point qualities to this picture which allow the photo to place the subject within his surroundings without compromising too much of the character that he exuded. I wish that this photo could have also captured the interior of his store which was ornately covered with Hookahs, and had bright orange walls that reflected the passion that Hookahman showed for his business.

Hey there,

I saw that you are (or were) part of a group of photography students in Berlin. I'm trying to get some information on photo school's over in Germany, Spain and France, for a masters program. But since I live in Brazil I'm a bit lost for I don't really know the sistem or which could be the best options.

Could you give me a hand?

Thnk you very much.
