"Hi Thorsten,
Just wanted to let you know, I found your website two nights ago, and because of your review, I went out and bought the Leica Q yesterday!
I’m a basic beginner, point-and-shoot guy, and your review made everything really easy to understand!"

"Hi Thorsten,
I want to say thank.
The workshop last year in Berlin was a very inspiring and fundamental milestone for me. When i review my own work since that i see that i am much more passion for photography, especially in combination with the Noctilux and the Monochrom camera.
You gave some basic knowledge how to get more natural results. And this influenced me postprocessing workflow very much and so i could develop my own style.
You really live the Leica Spirit and especially for the Noctilux you are the best inspiration.
Thank you."

Roadtrip to Tiny
Midland, Canada. April 18, 2016
Yesterday we went on a road trip to Tiny, a tiny township near by Midland in Canada to see what the world had to offer of adventure, ice cream and history lessons. Alan Watson volunteered with car and off we went. The destination was the home of Leica lens designer André De Winter.

"I am addicted to your website. When I see your videos and read your books, I cannot shake the desire to shoot with such a camera as the Monochrom and 50mm Summicron.
I want to thank you for your beautiful photos, valuable website and tools, and the advice you have given to me. I think above all else you impart to your audience, what I carry with me the most, are your sentiments regarding portraiture, and I’m paraphrasing here: Give your subject the best light. Show them beautifully and at their best.
Thank you for your inspiration"

Visiting the Oscar-Winning designer of the Leica Cine lenses
Tiny, Canada. April 18, 2016
André De Winter is one of the two designers who was awarded an Oscar in 2015 for the Leica Cine lenses that CW Sonderoptic in Wetzlar produces. So when I got the chance to hang out at his home over vegetarian lunch, that was a great possibility to get together.
We talked history and nerd stuff for a day, and I also got to do some portraits of him.
I also wanted to visit the original E. Leitz Canada factory that was sold off back in the 1990's, but being a foreigner I wouldn't be allowed to see other than the hallways (they work for the millietary), so I skipped that part. Also, they removed the last bits and parts of the Leica era last year (those are now in Wetzlar), so maybe I didn't miss a lot.

"I can't even tell you how often I've watched your "A life with Leica" video. Very inspirational! I hope to join you on one of your workshops one day."
