RE: Love is in the air OR 3 reasons why spring is awesome

Not a bad street shot, Rider. May I call you Rider?
Makes me wonder how many couples you considered shooting before this, or after. Or if you spied them and discretely got close for the shot. Or maybe you know them. Either way, I like the setting, the architecture of the bridge frames the subjects nicely. B&W is a nice touch too, helping you focus on the subject matter as opposed to the scene itself.
I'd be interested to see some more street photography from you. You ever come to appreciate some one's creative stile and grow curious how it would take to different genres?
I get so nervous when shooting street, in the public eye being watched and talked about as you're just trying to capture something you think is photo-worthy. You ever get the jitters in that scenario?

Hi @speckonarock, you may call me Rider ;)
Hahaha, to be honest, this was the first couple that came across my way during a walk through the old town of Frankfurt. The frame was perfect, so I gave it a shot. I perfectly know what you mean. Doing street photography is always kind of weird. People are monitoring anxious what you are doing and sometimes you and you see the fear of beeing photographed in their eyes. I always make sure to not show their faces and instead try to capture the situation and the scene. What inspired me most was the work of a friend of mine, who is on steemit too, @rznag. You should really check out this work as well. He is brilliant ;)
