Triptychs of Strangers #14, The grieving Sailor - Hamburg
About this shot
I was not really in the mood that day and I was somehow waiting for something to happen.
But nothing happened … but I had not enough eggs … Manfred was already rated "A++ with a star" as he walked by for the first time. And even though he looked like a redburned english tourist - he still appeared full of confidence, joy and style to us ;-)
About thes stranger
Meet Manfred … who is 64 years old. 20 years ago he came to Hamburg from a place in the south of Germany called Würzburg. Hamburg and Manfred is by far the better fit - he used to be a sailor and he loves St. Pauli (district and soccer club).
He came back from watching soccer (
FC St. Pauli vs. Werder Bremen) and was annoyed about the fact that his club will not remain in the first german soccer division (Bundesliga) :-(.
After a great fight that lasted 45 minutes only and not 90 minutes - a problem we have experienced the whole season.
We mourn with the fans and one of hamburgs finest districts!
FC St. Pauli will rise again.
