Nope she's not in fancy dress, this is an actual German Female Police officer! She made me smile 100 meters away and I knew I had to ask her!

I think a police officer is more approachable than your average person and therefore I did not think twice about asking to take her picture. She was walking with her fellow colleague and I changed direction and headed directly to them. I popped the question straight out and she said yes - but then hesitated and told me that she preferred a photo with her partner - I said "No Way" I need to photograph yourself and explained why - she blushed and agreed..

While taking a couple of shot's we got interrupted by a young lady, first question she asked "are you the real police" to which I replied "I hope so because she's carrying a real pistol" Doh...

This guy was sat with a young lady eating some pommes "German for chips" near to the end of his lunch I asked him if I could take his picture. The lady turned around and said "We both" I said no just him! for obvious reasons! After a little small talk he agreed - on standing up he over towered me by a good 20 cm! much to taller than me so I asked him to crouch down while I took the shot, by over exaggerating the pose I think it made a better portrait :)

after our short session I passed on my details and we moved on....

Side note, not one of my sharpest images :(

While approaching a small church I noticed a guy dressed in a long coat and tweed cap sweeping up some old leaves, I told Roland I want to photograph him!

We made our way closer and introduced ourselves and told him about our project, we had a lengthy conversation about photography but mainly about myself coming from the UK and Roland from Hungary. We talked about the local area and how Münster was so popular for cyclists. Frank that was his name, he was the organist at the church you see behind, he also works at a local hospital. I think we spent around 20 minutes talking to him, a very interesting guy and spoke English very well - during our conversation I took several images both close up and a couple of full length shots. Once we had finished our conversation I gave him a business card and he informed me he would be in contact..

Today I received an email from Frank asking if it was possible to get a copy of the portraits I took - I can do better than that Frank! middle of this week I shall get some prints done and a close friend from Münster will hand deliver them to you!

While snooping around the side streets we came across 2 young ladies hand in hand - both drunk or seemed to be, we asked them if it was possible for a portrait and they agreed - having 2 photographers works well on a busy day and having the ability to separate and keep both occupied is a bonus.. I thought maybe this shot wouldn't work due to the bright midday sun but having her funky glasses on made all the difference..

In case I get a question as to why the crazy head gear and outfit - it was Carnival day :)
