Keeping the Streets Safe

These Police officers were actually really cool and some of the youngest I've seen. The one thing that I've noticed about the German police is that they are so diverse; young, old, short, tall, man, woman, fat or skinny. I was talking with older Policemen for a while but neither one of them wanted to be photographed. One even told me that he was too ugly to have his photograph taken because it would break the camera. These guys were just hanging out while also keeping the streets safe. They were two young police officers and I was a young girl, I wasn't intimidated. It might have been the few beers at lunch but I was pretty laid back around them and explained the situation. I told them that I was talking to other Police officers but they wouldn't help me out with this project that I had to do for my photography class however, I was happy that I ran a cross them because they were much cuter and younger than the other men. Which of course made them relax a bit. I showed them a few pictures that I'd taken a few days prier and the pictures that I've been taking throughout that day. They agreed but they were at work so I had to hurry and I took a few photos. There was nothing more to work with except the two of them and the wall behind them. I tried to use the small pillars near their heads to add variety and texture to the picture. I moved around the area and set my camera to continuous so I could take multiple pictures. Out of all of the pictures I like this one because neither one is looking directly at the camera and they are trying so hard to look serious but both have a softness in their face and it looks like they are fighting a slight smile (which they were because I told them both how cute they were) I thanked them both for helping me out. They were good sports and I'm sure I made their day a little more exciting.
