I visited Florence a couple of days with my Leica camera and a few rolls of film.

I knew that the artist Ai weiwei exhibited his art at the Palazzo Strozzi as well as in the Ufficie and I love renaissance art, that is my  inspiration and passion apart from photography.

The first interesting meeting tok place in the ladys room at Munich Airport.

I saw a beautiful woman putting on makeup and I asked if I could take a picture and she said yes.

Here is Sabina Sorger who is an airhostess at Lufthansa on her way to New York.

I spotted the two police officers on the Ponte Vecchio and after asking them and showing my precious Leica camera ( gorgeous and old ) they agreed to pose in front of my camera with the river Arno as a perfect backdropp. I think they are so pretty in their uniforms, like armed dolls. Maybe it´s because I worked as a photographer at the forensics during 13 years that I tend to notice police officers all over the world, considering showing those photos at my next exhibition.

Hopefully the pictures can make you understand why I love Florence so much…
