About this shot
Quite an easy subject I met last monday, while sitting with a bunch of friends having a drink in one of my favorite bars in hamburg called Katze (cat). I saw two guys walking by - desperately looking for a free space - both with remarkable styles (with a star* and exclamation mark!)

I hesitated for a moment - just until I remembered I already did 4 strangers that weekend - so no need to be shy here. Additionally my friends kinda pushed a little ...

About this stranger
Meet Joe … who is 19 years old and lives in Hamburg for about 8 months now. If you ever talk to him you might hear that he must be from Liverpool - great accent. Hamburg is not just another stop in his life, he really likes being here - for the moment. We don't know … coz

Joe is a dancer of the infamous Disney musical Tarzan. Musicalwise maybe the main attraction here in Hamburg right after the Lion King. He danced Cinderella before … who knows what will be next and when in his young carreer.

He took classes in Singing, Tap, Performing Arts, Dance and last but not least Classical Ballet at the Laine Theatre Arts College in Epsom (near London). Truly loves what he is doing - and is therefore very thankful that his family has always have been very supportive.

He is interested in men and he seems to be in a relationship too. His mouth starts watering in front of big plate with Spaghetti Carbonara. And it's not only Phil Collins Songs he listens to ;-), he also likes Soul and R'n'B Songs especially those performed by Miss Hill.

Listen to Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (that thing)

About this shot
I was not really in the mood that day, so I was just waiting for something to happen. ~~But nothing happened~~ But I had not enough balls in the beginning … Manfred was already rated "A++ with a star" as he walked by for the first time. And even though he looked like a redburned english tourist - he still appeared full of confidence, joy and style to us ;-)

About thes stranger
Meet Manfred … who is 64 years old. 20 years ago he came to Hamburg from a place in the south of Germany called Würzburg. Hamburg and Manfred is by far the better fit - he used to be a sailor and he loves St. Pauli (district and soccer club).

He came back from watching soccer (FC St. Pauli vs. Werder Bremen) and was annoyed about the fact that his club will not remain in the first german soccer division (Bundesliga) :-(.
They've lost after a great fight that lasted 45 minutes only and not 90 minutes - a problem we have experienced the whole season.

We mourn with the fans and one of hamburgs finest districts! FC St. Pauli will rise again.
