One of the joys of being a press photographer is the variety of topics you actually get to see. Basically it never gets boring. One day it's a demonstration against the Security Conference in Munich, with all the grim faces from the participants and emotional speeches, and the next day you photograph - a carneval parade, where everyone is happy and relaxed.

While the photos of the carneval parade are probably more difficult to sell to the local newspapers (there were a bunch of colleagues with me, and the newspapers would print only, like, fifteen photos in total), it still was a very relaxed and nice shooting.
