I really was disappointed when i found out that there’s no way to make it to the meeting. All my stuff was packed, i had the prints ready that i wanted to show to the others, and last but not least, i was really keen on shooting in the streets of Budapest. However, it should not be. Instead i spent one and half day taking pictures in Berlin (see below). Hopefully there will be another seconds2real meetup this year, maybe in autumn.

Thames & Hudson book designer Johanna Neurath posted a picture last week of a proof of their new title “Street Photography Now”, by Sophie Howard and Stephen McLaren, which will arrive later this year. This book will also feature Seconds2Real photographer Siegfried Hansen which is well deserved.

A picture i took of famous Hamburg-based Street Photographer Siegfried Hansen while he was in Berlin for a couple of days. If you don’t already know him check out his flickr stream.

Note: Make sure to also read Siegfried Hansen: What was he thinking? on Blake Andrews blog.

The Seconds2Real is finally out now. The book contains 11 images by me as well as some great work by
