"Thank you for all the time and energy you put in sharing all the valuable knowledge about Leica cameras and lenses - and image creation at large on your website, it's a treasure trove of delightful moments and expert knowledge for the beginner or the seasoned photographer. After an almost 40 years not using a Leica, I find myself irresistibly drawn to using a rangefinder again. I intend on making an Leica M11 or M11 Monochrom my new lifelong companion. Thank you!."

Atlanta Workshop
Atlanta, USA. December 2-4, 2023
Atlanta was surprisingly good weather with high temperatures, and not as cold and wet as feared. The last workshop of a busy year around the world was just "up the road" from my home in Clearwater, Florida.
We had a really cosy moment in the workshop when Joe showed prints of his infrared photography, preserving 500 year old tree and gardens s in Fairhope, Alabama, taken with his Leica M8. Leica M10-R with Leica 50mm APO-Summicron-M ASPH f/2.0 LHSA. © Thorsten Overgaard.

“Always Wear A Camera” is the motto, and when I went out at 6.30 AM to have a look at the foggy streets I of course had it with me. The main point was a coffee and a cigaret, but as it so often proves to be right, ‘when you take a break from taking pictures, that’s when you see them’. It was just in front of me, all I had to do was to lift the camera and frame it. Half an hour later the fog was gone and the sun was up. Different scene..
