Prize winning entry to an open public photography competition "Meine Stadt" arranged in Würzburg. This snapshot was taken with an iPhone 4S in a classic street photography style.

Sunset over the Atlantic. Moments like these are worth cherishing: These three old men turned up every evening at the same time and the same place to chat by the sea. Always with the black cat next to the man in the wheelchair. Leica. Snap. Later this snapshot received a prize in a photography competition in Finland.
