This is the first in a series of three photos that I’ll be posting over the next few days. These were taken on my Dynax 5 film SLR. The place is the coffee shop in the wonderful Ludwig Museum for Modern and Contemporary Art here in Cologne where I had gone with a friend to see a Henri Cartier-Bresson photo exhibition right after he passed away. Yes, these photos are more than one year old and yes, I was still caught up in the brilliance of Cartier-Bresson’s photography when I took these photos!

I was quite tempted to convert them to b/w but I felt there was a certain harmony in the colors which was lost in the process.
