The conversation is less than four minutes old when the colleague is already at the table with the camera: photo appointment with the photographer. It should go quickly, the next appointment is waiting, as it is with the daily newspaper. The following conversation is as exciting as it is difficult to understand, as the purest technical jargon is spoken. The two disappear in the Café Marais, a little later Nils Schwarz grins through the window, makes a petz-eye, then poses well again. After a few minutes he is back and the colleague rushed to the next appointment. “That is of course a challenge for every photographer,” says Nils Schwarz about the quickie with the SZ photographer.
