An Instagram Love Letter to Leipzig
Leipzig local Jimmi Cantonà loves his city and he shares this with the world one image at a time under the Instagram name @leipzig_city. In this series, dreamy black and white pictures of deserted city centers are followed by panoramic shots of Leipzig, small beneath encroaching horizons. In his own words Jimmi describes what it is about the city that makes it the only one for him.
‘I’m 33 years old and was born in Leipzig. I love my hometown. There is so much life. I love the people and the culture. Here you can find so many beautiful corners and I try to photograph a lot of them and share this with the world. The last six years I had to travel a lot between Bremen and Leipzig every weekend. Leipzig was like a love I couldn’t see because I had to do my job and during my freetime I was on tour with my cool bandmates. So after six years of missing my hometown I’m back, and I’ve fallen in love for a second and third time. Now I hope I never leave. Thanks Leipzig.’
This is a view from the main station in winter 2014. For a long time I had to travel a lot between Leipzig and Bremen on the weekends, and over this time I saw many train stations and spent a lot of time on trains. This picture says Hi and Goodbye at the same time.
