IN THE PICTURE
The grey architecture of the business park, 50 miles north of Frankfurt, would be a challenge for any amateur photographer. Buildings gather around expanses of pale concrete paving, like a low-rise version of Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz, with little of the height, and none of the history. Uniform windows of near-mirrored glass reveal little of the interiors, and flat roofs underscore a dull winter sky. The only colour on this sombre December afternoon comes from the illuminated distinctive red dot of the Leica logo and its italic white writing. Flat light is the final obstacle to taking a decent picture.
