Spent the day in Mainz, visiting the Gutenberg museum and touring the old downtown. Not as photographically productive as yesterday, but thoroughly enjoyed nonetheless. There are a lot of different directions that seemed like they might work for this image, so this is just a starting interpretation–hopefully my processing will get a chance to mature as I get more time with the image.
On an unrelated note, I was struck while walking around Mainz by the amount of advertising in English which is obviously targeted towards the local audience. Concert announcements, shop signs, and full-size ads spoke to the high level of bilingualism in Germany. In fact, it is hard to get anyone to gontinue a conversation with me. It is not that my German is so terrible, but anytime I pause or stumble, conversants immediately switch over to English to continue.
