During this time I always brought along my small APS camera, because I thought that there might be some opportunity to take some interesting photos, e.g. of famous politicians. Every day I had to use the subway to get from one appointment to another. While waiting for the next train to arrive I usually looked at the various huge ads which could be found almost everwhere at the subway stations. I liked them a lot. So, I started to take photos.... Several weeks later, I thought that I may organise an exhibition. That is how this site came into being. return to menu   Please, let me know your opinion by sending me a short e-mail.
