There is a big bonus to traveling by train. You have to wait at train stations and often need to take a tunnel or two to get where you want to be. Both subjects are photographically interesting as they naturally offer leading lines. And of course one is often not waiting alone, people of all sorts and breeds do the same.

Ludwigsburg – 03.03.2018: Blau-Weiss Buchholz A at 1. Bundesliga der Lateinformationen in Ludwigsburg (Rundsporthalle), Germany on March 3 2018.

But another thing that is very different in comparison to solo dancing, the coach is on the floor as well. In the middle upfront he or she is... Read More
