Bill Rauhauser, the famous Detroit street photographer, once said that he had always been fascinated by the interactions of everyday life. I am as well. That’s why I take photos in the street. I only started this blog in February 2012, although I had had this project in mind for years. Actually it was my son, Francesco, who encouraged me (without knowing it). When he started to study graphic design and photography my “old love” for the subject arose again. Meanwhile I have become addicted to go out and shoot photos daily. Fortunately, it is easy to combine with my work as a print and online journalist, especially when I travel.
My gear: Nikon D3100 with Nikkor zoom lenses 28-55 mm and 55-200 mm.
Languages: German, English, Italian, French

Hi Cornelia. Very interesting and nice photos in your blog. Keep it up!
Thank you. I just had a look at your blog and, being a Scandinavia fan, loved them!
Thanks for sending the link – the magazine looks great. Here’s a link to the gallery, i.e. the press release about the exhibition: http://www.diversity-art-media.com/veranstaltung/news/eroeffnungsfeier-der-integrativen-diversity-art-galerie/

Hi Cornelia:
I admire and enjoy your work.
It’s so nice to see someone still exploring the power of black-and-white photography.
–Tim Ruane
Thank you for the compliment! I have always loved black-and-white photography as it is so expressive.
Hej Cornelia,
I thought you should have “the Versatile blogger” Award
http://silvingbitsofliving.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/an-award-for-me-or-my-photos/
have a lovely week! Irina
Thanks for Following One Knight Cornelia

You live far away. I live in Canada. Nice to meet you.
Five months a year I live close to Canada, in Michigan.
Thats on the East coast, I live on the west coast in Alberta near Edmonton.
I love your photos. Very moving and creative!
Thank you so much!
Nice work! I think you have great images here in your blog. Black & white street photography is just so – colorful! Keep shooting! And thanks for looking at my blog (even if it was a reblogged post)
Cornelia ha sido un placer que pasase por mi blog y a la vez me permitiese conocer su trabajo, lo que estoy viendo me encanta, también me gusta mucho la fotografía en blanco y negro, por lo que seguiré visitándola, un abrazo
Muchas gracias. Tus fotos me gustan muy bien. Mi español no es bien – aprendo español solo desde pocas semanas. Comprendo la lengua porque hablo italiano.
Nice blog Cornelia. Gongratulation
Thanks for following my blog, I’m intrigued … black and white, and street photography in one place. These are two things I’ve never quite managed to get to grips with. Thanks very much for sharing.
Thank you!!
Beautiful blog and beautiful photographs
Love to start following your blog 
I am have started in street photography very recently. Have a Leica M7. Still lots to learn. Out of the many a few has come out to my satisfaction. Have started to follow your blog.
Hello there..
Your work is amazing, total fan here : )
Thansk fo checking me out. I am very envious of your travels.
Hi Cornelia, thanks for dropping by my blog today. I see by looking at your amazing photos that you also like black and white photography. Black and white will never die.
It sure never will! It is much more expressive than color will ever be.
I loved your coverage of Argentina! Are those photos from a previous trip, or are you currently living here?
I was in Buenos Aires a few months ago, in December and January. I live in Germany and several times a year in the US (my better half is American).
I can’t believe you’ve only been blogging for a few months – its fantastic I look forward to receiving your updates!
Thank you! I am happy to hear you like my blog!!
Hallo Cornelia.
Ganz tolle Fotos, die Du hier zeigst!
You’re addicted to the street – as me
Dein Blog ist in die Favouriten gelegt. Vielleicht laufen wir uns in HD einmal über den Weg
Grüße aus Heidelberg
Sven
Wow, ein Heidelberger! Das ist mal eine Überraschung. Ich glaube, unter all meinen “Followern” bist du der einzige aus Deutschland. Es freut mich, dass dir meine Bilder gefallen! Grüße aus der Altstadt!
Very nice work! Love your photographs and will folow your blog in the future… my English is not good enough for blogging, but photographs don’t need to many words… greetings from Belgium.
Thank you, I am glad to hear you like my work. You are right, photographs need no words and can sometimes tell a better story than the printed word.
You have a true gift. Haven’t explored your whole blog yet but the street photography is incredible. Yes – tells entire stories without words. Thank you for sharing your work!
Thank you, Robyn! I am glad you like my photos. I like yours as well, especially the beach/water photos – they are so expressive!
I’m a Grand Rapidian as well, but I’m moving soon. I look forward to seeing the streets of GR through the eyes of another.:)
These shots are charming. I can’t wait to see more.
Love the pictures! Travel and photography go well together
I so enjoyed your photos of Buenos Aires! Shall surely return to check out the others. And thank you all the likes on my posts
Happy to hear you like my photos!!
Very much
Beautiful photos…. I love black and white!
I finally got back to look at the photos that I’ve missed. They are all, and I mean all, wonderful. I cannot imagine how you do it. The characters you find in the streets are the most interesting subjects I have ever seen in street photography. I enjoy them so very much, Cornelia! Thank you for your continued encouragement on my blog. George
Thank you so much! How I do it? I just keep my eyes open and the camera ready to click (I love to watch people!!). But, as I mentioned before, 90% of my photos go directly into the trash can after downloading. What you see here is the 10% good ones.
Hi Cormelia. We admire and love the concept of your work. We wanted to inform you that we have nominated you for the ABC award. Details can be found at
http://sevenleggedexpressjourney.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/abc-award/
Pedo Koneko
Another award … Thank you so much!!
I love your b&w stills. Awesome work.
Thank you – love to hear that!
What camera do you use?
My camera is mentioned above, below my “About” text. But, here again: Nikon D3100 with Nikkor zoom lenses 28-55 mm and 55-200 mm. I shoot 80% of my photos at 100-200 mm.
Oh nice. I plan on purchasing either the Nikon 5100 or the Canon Rebel T3i. What do you like most about Nikon? Have you ever used a Canon camera?
I can’t tell you what I like about Nikon, I just like the camera. My son, who studies photography, uses a
Canon EOS 5D and he just loves it.
Oh, Dear Cornelia, how could I have missed your beautiful blog! Please forgive me. I knew I forgot somebody! I am old and forgetful, you know. I so love your photography. I never saw one bad photo on your blog. And I wanted to introduce you to my few followers who don’t know you. Please pick up your award at my blog where you just came and went without seeing your name! I love your new Gravatar, by the way. It’s just too cute.
Wonderful street photo blog. Congrats.
Thank you a lot!!
Thank you so much!!
A wonderful collection, moments frozen in time. Thank you for sharing your work.

#PS: I have my heart pounding for what is going to be a revenge for the World Cup 2006 Semifinal in two days. I haven’t visited the country-I will- but I have always been a loyal Germany National team since the era of Juergen Klinsmann. So nice to see a German Blogger!
Thank you for following my blog. I am happy to hear you like my photos. I like your blog as well – it is very inspiring!! As for soccer … I am not a soccer fan and I actually don’t follow the games … to tell you the truth, I don’t care who gets the title. I am very “ungerman” when it comes to soccer, I guess. May the best team win, no matter if Italian, Portuguese or Spanish.

Happy to hear you like my blog! I like the b&w photos on yours – keep on shooting daily life! I could not figure out from which country you are – it’s not mentioned on your blog, but since your e-mail address states “nl”, I guess you must be from the Netherlands, right?
Hi,
That’s correct we are from the Netherlands we live near the city of Maastricht in the South of Netherlands.

Thank you a lot. I feel honored!
For real? I live around GR.
Yes. As my better half lives in GR I usually spend two months there in winter and three in summer.
Hi Cornelia! I don’t know if you have seen it but I come out with a digital magazine version of my blog Junsjazz Images & Inspiration of which two issues are already online. Its not a commercial magazine, just another online project of mine. I plan to release the third issue by yearend and I’d like to devote a page for a guest photographer to showcase his/her works (probably 5 to 6 images). I would be honored to have your works featured in Issue #3, if it is alright with you. Of course there will be backlinks to your blog and full credit to you for all your works that may appear in the magazine. I await your reply. Thanks
Of course it is alright with me – just choose any photo you like. By the way, one of my photos http://strassenfotojournal.com/2012/05/31/begging/ is at an exhibition in an arts gallery in Berlin. For the exhibition I chose the title “Poverty in the EU”. I think I have not seen the digital magazine version, could you send me a link? Thanks!!
wow! I’m proud of you! and I love that photo which was used at the exhibition (anyways I like all your photos). In fact I’m devoting a whole magazine spread for you as a featured photographer, and that particular pic will be the banner photo. Can you give me a little info as to the name of the exhibition, and name and address of the gallery in Berlin? many thanks! by the way, there’s a whole section of the digital magazine in my blog here: http://junsjazzimages.wordpress.com/digital-magazine/
Infos are at: http://www.diversity-art-media.com/veranstaltung/news/eroeffnungsfeier-der-integrativen-diversity-art-galerie/
It is Diversity Art Gallerie in Berlin
Hi Cornelia! Issue #3 is now online. Thank you very much for the cooperation and support! Here’s the link: http://www.joomag.com/magazine/junsjazz-images-inspiration-issue-3/0326624001354508619

I live bilingual people! It is so unfortunate that I`m such a slow learner of languages. I`m still studying my first thousand kanji, (Japanese) and it is such slow progress!
Actually I am trilingual: German, English, Italian.
You see, even better. Ah. Well, good job on all the studying and hard work you must have put in to get at that level of knowledge!
Not so much hard work, actually. In Germany we start learning English in 5th grade and French (Italian or Spanish) in 7th grade. It’s mandatory. So when we get our secondary school degree after the 13th grade we are fluent in two foreign languages. I then studied English Language and Literature at university. My French is not so fluent anymore, but enough to get along.
Cornelia, thanks for the nice photo.
At each visit to your blog I enjoy.
Thank you!!
Thank you for visiting by blog and liking my pictures, you have some amazing pictures on here, i will definitely visit again
Hello Cornelia, you have nice blog and good picture. I really like it
Thank you!!
