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…

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…
