"I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for what you do and especially in how you present yourself. Having been a professional photographer for a number of years, I've seen all kinds of people. Very few can articulate their philosophy and world view as you do. Thanks for sharing!"

We're going to Asia and Australia
We will be going to Asia and Australia for the next two months. We start off in Hong Kong, then Perth in Australia, Tokyo, Shanghai and land in Singapore in the end of the month to do workshops and exhibition. From Singapore we will be going to Sydney, Jakarta, Seoul and Bangkok in December and will somehow make our way back soon enough for the London workshop on January 3, 2014.

"Just wanted to commend you on a beautiful website. I am a long time Leica watcher, and I believe that you, through your site, have successfully pushed me over the edge. Today I placed an order for the M240 and the 50 Lux. I am very much looking forward to this transition in my photographic journey."

The most amazing camera store in a city furthest away on the planet (in a dark corner of the known universe)
Perth, Western Australia, November 18, 2013
I visited Perth in Western Australia for the second time. Last time was about a year ago. This time I did a four-day workshop and a one-day workshop together with the brothers Frank at Camera Electronics, a second-generation camera store that employ 22 people and does really well in Leica second-hand and is now also a Leica Bourtique for new Leica cameas and lenses.

Tokyo
Ginza, Tokyo, November 19, 2013
We arrived with the first flight into Tokyo airport on Tuesday 6.05 AM. They open at 6 AM. We had to get to the hotel in Ginza, and then straight to the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo to get a new visa for Joy. And then to the Apple Store in Ginza to get a computer serviced that had gotten a drop of water on the SSD (we travel with three computers and everything was backed up, so no worry).
