Sandra was tasked with taking photos of a restaurant for work this evening, so she asked if I'd like to come along and then go to dinner afterwards. Sure! The restaurant is where our bosses are taking our clients out for the annual Christmas thank you dinner. The bosses want photos of the restaurant to send with the invites.
Anyway, once Sandra and I found the place, we were at a loss as to what to photograph. The place (Lobster's in Sachenhausen) might be a really good seafood restaurant - they wouldn't pick anything else, and besides it smelled delicious! - but their decor is sadly lacking. Above the door is a half painted over sign from some other establishment and there are no decorations. However, the restaurant logo in the window with the lights behind it and the postcards on the wall beside it were interesting, so we shot that. I was using Sandra's digital camera to shoot, so no pictures. I'll ask her for a copy tomorrow at work though, so you can see what we ended up with.
Afterwards we went to a mexican restaurant for dinner (crappy margarhita's, so-so food, nice atmosphere) and then we walked around taking photos of the Frankfurt skyline at night. That's when I took my first photo assignment photo (see entry below). We also walked through the Romer square, where I got a couple interesting photos. A very nice evening in Frankfurt.
Frankfurt never looked so good!
Posted by: Mom at October 28, 2004 03:33 PMGreat pictures !! Some other suggestions for you.. how about cultural differences - example - the little sign on some cross-walk lights about setting the example for children; walk on green not red. Yes I know that we are supposed to do that in the States as well.. but we dont have signs :) For your trips... things like "Fountain of Elves" in Koeln, or Grimm's Fairy Tales houses in the Black Forrest. ( I think that's where )

Posted by: Sandra at October 28, 2004 03:50 PMhahaha, Sandra's funny! :) Ahhh these look nice Anna. Nice job!
Posted by: Brat at October 28, 2004 03:57 PMMaybe, the client should read your report. The place was a dump but, the food was great if you can afford to eat there. Maybe, they should have paid for you to eat there and then by the time your stomachs were full the place would have looke better! LOL

And Jon, thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to look for the fountain of elves next time I'm in Koeln. Which should be next weekend for the long night of the museums there. :)
Posted by: Anna at October 29, 2004 12:25 AMAnna - not a problem :) It's right in front of Frueh- by the way has the greatest Koelsch beer!! :) I would try to remember on what side of the Dom the fountain was on, but I had 1 too many Koelsch's ;) and it was my first day in Germany.
