A few exams later (but still not finished) we have a new post!
This Sikh was walking on the Königsstrasse, Stuttgarts main pedestrian zone and shopping area, together with his family. I just asked him to pose for a picture and he noded (I'm getting good at this!), having understood just enough of my German. In general I feel that foreigners are more open to such spontaneous things.
I had to edit the background (call it cheating if you like ;) ), as it was very distracting. The experiment with the texture was something we wanted to do for some time now and was inspired by some pictures of
3 a.m. from Kyoto. I especially like how the texture (it's a bamboo sheath macro) mixes with his beard...
I now have the means of profiling and calibrating my monitor, so pictures might look a bit different from now on. As my monitor was rather dark earlier pictures are probably a tad too light. It's funny how the screen behaves in a completely different way after the calibration, I'm in the process of re-learning how to judge the displayed colors...
