"I'm not a professional photographer, but I follow your site and I would like to congratulate you for it. I find your placements that focus on photographic composition and the light above all very interesting. I believe that many are lost that in a world of advertisements and technology. Many people are forgotting the true art of composition.
The second topic I want to address is precisely about your website. I see that your pictures privilege qualities generally observed in painters. They are not just pictures, but compositions. Many books have treated this subject, but I'm interested in knowing about your vision about photography as art and as a document in more depth."

Judging PhotoWerk Berlin competition & exhibiton
Berlin, Germany, October 1, 2015
Donata Wenders, Gen Sadakane and I looking at photographs on the big screen for more than seven hours. Leica M 240 with Leica 28mm Summilux-M ASPH f/1.4
Donata Wenders, Gen Sadakane and I spent the whole day judging photos submitted for the PhotoWerkBerlin portrait photo competition and exhibition (opens November 2 at Projektraum PhotoWerkBerlin).
More than 300 artists from Berlin to India and New Zealand had submitted their series of photographs for the four categories. It was a lot, and only by the help of Norbert Wiesneth who operated the projector in a very organized and German Ordnung way did we mange to go through it all more than once, make a shortlist and select a winner in each category.
Stay tuned for the announcement and the exebition. It's going to be awesome!

"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."
