Singapore realaxing
Singapore, December 1-4, 2015.
Some times I put in an extra day when I travel so I can charge the batteries and catch up on things.

"Dear Thorsten,
I don't know what to say other than I am blown away. What an astonishing piece, "A Lesson in Leica History". With my background as a dealer, factory technician, collector and user, I thought that I pretty much knew the history of Leica. Thank you so much for this enjoyable education about my beloved Leica.I will save this and enjoy it for years to come."

I teach you the basics of photography in an easy-to-understand and step-by-step way that anyone from ages 12 to 90 can understand and easily apply.
The intention with this extension course is to get you going in your photography adventure with lightning speed, and to inspire you to reach to new heights.
Enjoy!
