Jena Kulturarena, 2002

I managed a couple of photo's during the concerts by Ani Difranco and Maceo Parker without being told to put the camera away by security. Unfortunately, I was too busy enjoying myself during the Ani Difranco concert to really take photos and it was a short concert anyway (she wasn't exactly supporting Maceo Parker, but they were touring together).

The Maceo Parker photos were some of the first I took in b/w and I'm kind of pleased with them - they have that classic jazz feel, at least to me!

I'm still kind of miffed that Ani didn't show up to sign any CDs at the end though…

Rudolstadt TFF, 2002

Excellent! Managed to go to the Tanz-und-Folk Fest and not actually take any photos of musicians. Still, I'm very pleased with George and the Dragon.

Lutherstraße, Jena

The house I lived in at this time was on Lutherstrasse, and all these photographs were taken between March and June 2002. The rent was negligible, the flatmates great. We were thrown out when the local government sold off the house to be renovated. A couple of years later, in 2004, Alina and I moved into a flat elsewhere in town which I was thrilled to discover was build to an almost identical plan as the one in Lutherstrasse. True, the toilet isn’t downstairs off the landing, there isn’t a shower in the kitchen, and what is now our bathroom was another bedroom in Lutherstrasse; but the new flat had a familiar, homely feeling to me from the moment we moved in…

Graffiti in Jena, June 2002

Just a single photo from Jahnstraße…

Thunderstorm

I took several photos but this was the only one which came out well…

Eschwege, Germany

Visited here a couple of times as an examiner for the LCCI. Didn’t take too many photographs, as you can see, but it’s a very pleasant town.

Gera, Germany

In the five years I worked in Gera, I never took many photographs of the town itself. These photos were taken on 16 May 2002 on the grounds of a church a couple of minutes from our school. The black ribbons hanging from the tree commemorate the Erfurt massacre of 26 April 2002, when Robert Steinhäuser shot dead thirteen teachers, two students and a police officer. It was a difficult time for students and teachers alike, as tragedies like Columbine seemed now very real and close: Erfurt is only 100 km from Gera, and 50 from Jena, where I live.
