THEN: I've always loved doing street photography, observing people, capturing those simple seemingly meaningless moments for eternity.

This is problably my first ever (!) street photo. I loved it! It was so scary to take this picture! But this was, I thought, what photography was about: creating very romantic sepia coloured pictures of a postcard pretty elderly couple.

[The picture wasn't even sharp. But I spent hours trying to get that real romantic look and it was my favourite picture for a long long time :-)]

NOW: Well, I'm not going to say this is my best street photo, but I picked it because it was actually taken in the same city and it's the same 'kind' of picture. I couldn’t let that nice coincidence slide. Since I’m less afraid to show people I'm taking pictures of them now it's actually sharp. Plus I've let go of the low-contrast and boring sepia look ;-)
