Sometimes I struggle to find someone to take a photo of. One day I might feel less confident, other days I can't find the person who is close enough to the image I have in my head, and sometimes a person walks past and it takes a couple of seconds before I realised I actually did want to ask if I could take that person's photo, but by then the moment is gone...

But when I see someone this sharply dressed, there's no hesitation! The only downside being after taking a photo of somebody this stylish, I look at what I'm wearing and cry inside.

The ice man

I'm always amazed by how Japanese people embrace traditional methods of working in this technological era and how much effort and dedication they put into a craft that has been forgotten in western society. This man was cutting big blocks of ice into cubes, dipping them in water and then bagging them up for sale with a lot of care and precision. The shop sells frozen kakigori (Japanese slush puppies). As it is January I wasn't ready for one, but I bet they are the best around in summer!

I wonder at what point in life do you decide to sell balloons for a living. Even though he lives in a house full of helium, he didn't have a high pitched voice.

I had wanted to ask how a man in an England shirt survives in Germany as my 3 are tucked away in shame at the bottom of my cupboard. Oddly enough, Alex turned out to be German and can change into a shirt with much more stars on it any time he likes.

I wanted to have a chat but being British and in Germany, I didn't want to get drawn into the obvious topic of the moment.

I had to do a U-turn just to ask about his beard clip which he said he made by himself.

"eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart"

I don't know where all my time has gone lately. I'm pretty sure there are the same number of hours in a day but I've no idea where they all went. I will try to get back on track as soon possible but constant bad weather has been a big reason my camera has been stuck in my bag for most of the last month.

Even though I was carrying two rucksacks and a suitcase and my camera was stuffed in the bottom of one of them, there was no way I was going to let anybody this cool pass by without me asking if I could take a photo. As it turns out he was also really nice and had a beautiful family.

The guy kinda tried to help but gave up. Then the lady in the leather jacket just walked over and did it, carried the pushchair up and then came back down the stairs as she wasn't even getting a train on that platform. Come on guys, don't wimp out from helping others!
