September 2024

Snaps from September 2024, including a visit to Pützchen’s Markt in Bonn, one of the oldest and largest folk festivals in Germany. I also had the chance to visit Groß St. Martin during the Day of the Open Monumentꜛ (Tag des offenen Denkmals) in Cologne – one of the rare moments when you can take photos inside the church. The Day of the Open Monument lasted two days, so I also visited the historical town hall of Cologne as well as the Baptistery near the Cologne Cathedral.

I am very happy that I was lucky enough to be able to visit the Martin Parr exhibition at the Frankfurter Fotografie Forum during my short stay in Frankfurt. The exhibition was a retrospective of his early black and white photos. The exhibition was very well curated and I also enjoyed the photographs on display from local photographers.
