This photo is of "historical" importance to me as it belongs to one of the few assignments I had in 1995/1996. I was still at university working on my doctorate but at the same time I was seriously considering to work as a professional photographer and so I was happy to accept small jobs even if the payment was minuscule or non-existent. Here I was shooting a rehearsal of Mozart's
La finta giardiniera at the
Hochschule für Musik und Theater in
Hanover. I shot about half a dozen rolls of
Fuji Neopan 1600 using my Leica and the Nikon. (Yes,
I told you I had sold it, but luckily I had sold it to my girlfriend who was so nice to lend it back to me for this occasion.) One of the photos (not this one, though) was published in the
Neue Presse newspaper some days later.
This particular photo was taken with the
Nikon and a
135/2.8 Nikkor lens that I had bought used shortly before I got rid of the FM2. The date was February 14,
1996. The film was developed in HC-110.
