"Many tx for opening our eyes again, also thank you for all the info about workflow, computers, etc. in Amsterdam.
I had a great time with you and the guys (in my third Overgaard Woprkshop!). Walking, talking, sharing info, searching for the magic light, drinking liters of coffee, and taking great pictures of course!
See you next year in New York!"

"I've bought the new book - made a start reading it - it is really interesting.
I know it’s basic at the beginning but it isn't written in a patronizing way. I have been taking photographs for many years and have been lucky enough to be paid to take them for the last seven years; but it's always good to be taken back to the start"
