Internship

Long time no posts. I know, sorry, but I was overloaded with exams. ;)

A year ago I made the 6-week internship all students have to do in the first two years. On my winter holidays! But it was very interesting and in the end I got why they make us go through it. Pedagogically speaking it is just a brilliant thing to do.

So I found this company, that was not so far away and had a vacancy. They make giant metal sculptures of insects
One day I went to the boss and asked if I could bring a camera and take photos, which I would then give the company. It is not everyday that you are in a factory, so I wanted to try myself out in doing a sort of an assingment.
It was a hell lot more complicated than I thought. Because the company didn't hire me, it was very hard making people cooperate, so I literally had seconds to make a shot in the place I wanted them. They were all very nice people and the atmosphere was great, but posing for a camera is something they don't usually do, so I had to shoot while they were working.






Serving as a counter-balance :D



An always happy italian guy, but who couldn't speak german after living here for 45 years and having a german wife.

Und jetzt - Feierabend!

I hope you all stay well!
