Singapore realaxing
Singapore, December 1-4, 2015.
We some times put in an extra day when we travel so we can charge the batteries and catch up on things. And as usual we manage to fill out the schedule with things. Our extra days in Singapore was spent with meetings, assignments and meeting people.

"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."

The waiting list is over!
After a couple of years with a long waiting list, I have finally redesigned the course so I can handle the students interested in this course. Not only that. The number of pages has gone up from 120 to 330!
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!
