Antonio Calahorrano on Street Photography
What drew you to photography, and street photography in particular? In order to escape a little from my daily routine I signed up for the photographic association in my city, Asfocal.

Where are you from and how did you get into street photography? I live in Germany in a small town on the Rhine. Photography has been part of my life for many decades. I am a social pedagogue by profession and have worked with children and their parents and most recently in primary school for many years. For many of my pupils I was "the teacher with the camera", because I always accompanied and documented our work photographically. On many photo journeys together with my husband I made
