Here’s what I dug up for this week’s photo challenge.
Author: Tobias M. Schiel
Abstract arts lover, Jazz enthusiast, mystery buff, compulsive reader - and how do I get it all into pictures? Photography has been a good way over the last couple of years.1. .
In Praise of Shadows
A cover art idea for Jun’ichirō Tanizaki’s In Praise of Shadows…
Crane
Looking up in Hamburg. Or was I craning my neck? Whatever. This is my contribution to Paula’s Black & White Sunday – and it also answers to this Week’s Photo Challenge since I think it shows that reflection is related to refraction (which I think is the case; if not, please let me know).
Mirror, Mirror!
Toscana
Answering to this photo challenge – a very nice one!
Dreamy
A contribution to the Weekly Photo Challenge.
Build! Build! Build!
The Signs Are Unmistakable
With the interest rates so low in Germany, building money seems to come cheap. That’s the impression you get while strolling in downtown Hamburg (or Düsseldorf or Wiesbaden, for that matter). Cheap loans might explain the Baulaune – the mood for building everybody seems to be in.
This is my second contribution for this week’s Photo Challenge.
A Simple Sign
Part of the Baulaune series, this is a sign, and a tautologic one, come to think of it.
Baulaune
“Everybody is in Baulaune, in the mood for building,” said my wife. “Why don’t you photograph a couple of construction sites?”
Enduring It All
Bridges in Frankfurt: I thought I’d try my hand at a more metaphorical approach to the concept of endurance.
Framework
My contribution for the Weekly Photo Challenge: These wooden beams and shutters endure(d) a lot, obviously.
Glass Works
Contributing to Destino’ Black & White Photo Challenge.
You’ll Never Walk Alone
This picture just came from the lab, and I think it adds a nice angle to this week’s photo challenge.
Humanity
This week’s photo challenge reminded me of an old photo, made seven years ago in Freiburg. To me, it seems to say a lot about being human.

Time Flies
A dialogue? Maybe: These two pictures feel a bit like one person finishing another person’s sentence to me.
Light Patterns
Fray [Wake Up. 64.]
Another interpretation of the Photo Challenge: “Fray”. Seen in Arezzo, Italy.
