Viennese Faces
May 6, 2008

Eva was staying in Vienna. Obviously, she quickely adopted that happy Viennese face.

Ladies having some serious conversation on the tram.

Proofing my impeccable timing skills. Great.

On a wedding. That’s Erich Lessing on the right. Shot for Magnum… back in the good old days.

Wedding photographer Colleague.

When it’s dark they’re thirsty… oh well, kids! Those were the times.

I interrupted some serious business.

Waiting for some marvelous Dürüm.

It was raining quite nicely. Besides, that’s my war photographer face.

OK, back to business as usual: The Nice Lady.

Then I took a TAXI to the darkest place in town… seems like it was mainly raining the past weeks.

Post card. Book. Make millions. Yes.

Exploring the sweetness on the street. Real street photography.

I never made it there… now they closed. Good Single Treff it was.

TIMING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN STRAIGHT LINS AND COMPOSITION!
And now something completely different: Neopan1600

Most of the frames are junk. Photographically handicapped I’d say.

Took this after the last post card photo. Still raining.

Hooond vs Hooooooooooooooooond.
Catching up with more current business.
Take care,
I’m going to take a shower now,
Bernhard

Microsoft is hosting the Imaginecup which is a contest featuring quite a few disciplines ranging from programming to photography. This year’s “theme” is sustainabilty and as Sebastian and I are very fond of polarbears we gave it a try. So the next few frames are from our first essay which shows how a modern clarification plant works. In fact, the one here in Vienna is one of the most advanced plants worldwide. There is also a second essay that will be submitted as we think from a storytelling point of view, this one here is a weaker although the facilty itself is quite impressive.

The inflow. They said they found bycycles, turtles and pythons in there. Latter dead.

Water getting pumped to the first filtering.

This thing pretty much works like a big rack removing anything bigger than 10 mm.

A minor detail - I like the hands.

As far as I remember the basic idea of those things was to keep the sludge moving.

Pumping air into the water which forms the first part of the biological clearing.
There is a gap storywise because Sebastian covered those shots (the old part of the facility). Whatever.

They were cleaning some parts of the plant.

The control room. And the Hoond at work.
So, once again a not so-b/w-tri-x-ish entry. Still, I hope you enjoyed a few of those frames.
Take care,
Bernhard
