This is the ongoing journal of my travels, photography, experience with people, places and equipment.
"Just finished you Leica M10 video and I must say, your focusing section was worth the price of the entire ensemble. I, like so many others, think we must being doing something wrong when our pics are not in focus!"
"Many thanks for the book. I am a retired pro who came through your M9 video. Gonna sell all my Nikon stuff (D3, D700, etc) and settle down for some traveling and the kind of photography that originally got me exited (IIIF, M3, etc). Obviously your site will be my companion. Many thanks for your kindness."
The complete workflow of Thorsten Overgaard,
made easy with pre-flight checklists and step-by-step instructions on how to set up and use a professional
photo editing software like Capture One Pro.
Laid out in a way that is easy to understand
and everyone can apply.
The Capture One Surival Kit also includes
simple and to-the-point tools on how to use select tools as catalogs, Photoshop, how to do backup and how to organize pictures archives so they don't get lost and doesn't have to be reorganized again and again.
Also: Specialized first-help chapters on how to sync your entire photo archive with the smartphone, how to
escape Apple Photos, how to empty photos out of an iPhone, how to get out of Lightroom CC, what to do with
iPad editing ... and more on how to not survive the digital age and perhaps even outsmart it.

"I’m Luke, an aspiring photographer, and you work inspires me a lot".
"What a privilege it was to spend a weekend with all of you! Thanks so much for the companionship as we continue to navigate the Leica journey we’ve embarked on and I feel like I’ve got a few new mates for life! Great tutoring by the Viking too, what a colorful life you, Joy and Robin lead - I loved immersing myself in it for a short stint. I look forward to staying in touch".
