Black-And-White Photo Competition 2 2013 : Entry Number 1573

In many ways this is a unusual and strong image you don't see every day. Very private and very public at the same time. It shows passion and love, which survives age ...

Thanks a lot for the "Mark of Excellence" ! This picture was taken in St. Georg, a historic district of Hamburg, Germany, near the river Alster. The old couple, still in love with each other, took a short rest on the somewhat warren out marble stairs of a formerly very elegant building. As the jury said a "very public and very private" sitution at the same time and I hope a promise to all that love may last as I felt when I took this picture. Kodak Tri-X @ ISO 400, scanned on Hasselblad Flextight X5. Holger Ehlert, Hamburg - Digital Media, non-professional photographer. You may order a print of the picture by followig the link below.
