Suddenly, my daughter Caroline got married
Clearwater, Florida, USA. September 3, 2016
We went to Clearwater in Florida where my daughter Caroline got married to Chet in the ballroom of The Fort Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida. It was just yesterday she was sitting on the back seat of the car on her way to kindergarten. See more pictrues and story here.
Caroline and her husband Chet before the wedding. I asked for a photo of the together, forgetting he wasn't allowed to see here. So we handled that. Leica M 240 with Leica 50mm Noctilux-M ASPH f/0.95. © 2016 Thorsten Overgaard. See more pictrues and story here.

Such a pleasure to spend three days with all of you — thank you for the inspiration and the conversation. Thorsten: Thank you for leading us though photography, food and coffee. Next time I hesitate on the shutter, I will remember your wise words: “just f@#king shoot it.”

I visited JJ Hat Center on 5th Avenue and got a new hat. Here's the hat designer Van Huynh and Thorsten talking hats. Van Huynh designed the one Thorsten is wearing, and it's the only one existing ("Summer Breeze"). Photo by Brian Shimansky.

"Really enjoyed the few days we had together. Many thanks for your friendship, conversation and inspiration, and especially to Thorsten for your direct no-nonsense approach to photography and use of Lightroom.
The downside is that Thorsten and you guys have reignited my passion for all things Leica…I had strayed to Sony ... which can only cost me a shed-load of money in the long term :-) Please stay in touch and if anyone makes it to Ireland, please look me up."

"Hello to all the Thorsten gang,
It seemed odd to get up on Sunday morning and head to the airport instead of the hotel. Back home I dove into editing with a new eye, inspired by Thorsten and each of you. This was a fantastic experience, sending a big wave of appreciation for this precious block of time.
I loved it all, and hope our paths keep crossing in real time or online, am open to hearing from you, sharing your work, gear, thoughts and creative process."

Meeting one of the great
New York, USA. September 13, 2016
Before I left New York for this time, I met up with Ken Hansen who' sknown to many as the greatest Leica dealer in the US.
We had a great talk about life, Leica, Scandinavia and all which will be an interview on my page later.

Back in Los Angeles
Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA. September 14 - 22, 2016
I spent a few days in Hollywood. One of life's unforseen events (or at least one that is hard to plan) was that AC I was supposed to have lunch with, passed away while I was in New York. So our lunch was replaced with a memorial.
Brother SAL performed at the memorial for Asbjørn Christensen in Hollywood on September 17 2016.
Film director René Sascha Johannsen shared anecdotes and spoke about a good friend and father in law at the memorial for Asbjørn Christensen in Hollywood on September 17 2016. Leica M 240 with Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH f/1.4.
Singer and dancer David Boyd of New Politics performed at the memorial for Asbjørn Christensen in Hollywood on September 17 2016. Leica M 240 with Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH f/1.4.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Los Angeles based photographer Dotan Saguy for coffee and interview in the garden. I'm doing an article on him and his use of the Leica M 240 and Leica M 246 Monochrom. Leica M 240 with Leica 50mm Summilux-M ASPH f/1.4 BC. © 2016 Thorsten Overgaard.
