@ Chris and Darren: Thanks gentlemen, it's a pleasure reading compliments from two such competent and always complaining people ;-) Shooting some stuff for Leica they could showcase would be fun because I would shoot real things and assignments and not those rooftops and cathedrals they usually fill in their sample portfolios (not to mention all the blurred 3200 ISO stuff they used to put in the calendars).
@thorsten: if there is anyone out there who would benefit from using a DMR and for leica to have shooting the DMR, it would be you, my friend. it. would. be. you. on raw that file is amazing.

@ morganedesfees: Merci.
@ sarchi: I had video equipment at some point, just for fun. However, when it got too funny with too many mikes, extra lamps and super-tripod I decided to give it away so as to avoid spending the rest of my youth on filming and editing. I still feel video is too much work - and ugly too, unless you do it right. The slideshows are made with soundslide.com and is relatively fast to do.
@ mahomo: I figured the guys would be popular as most of the people at the fashion shows are girls, plus a majority of the guys like men better than girls ;-) @ cassie:

@ Chris: I wanted a DMR for it but then decided to go with Leica Digilux 2 again because it works fine and is easy to carry and has that M-look so nobody really cares. It's a very interesting relationship we have, the Digilux 2 and I. Read about it soon..!

@ william: Thanks William, I think the atmosphere shots make it better than the last (slide-)show, fashion shows is both the creative process of designing as well as the social of drinking champagne and spot celebrities. The light is always a great question; one should think they knew how to do it, but they don't. I'm thinking of writing an article/blog on do's and don't.
The lighting on the catwalk models around 4:06 is just so stunningly perfect, skin tones so natural. Also some of your atmosphere shots are very complimentary to the show. It has good pace too, not too slow, not too fast. I admire your job!
It has been, i confess, long overdue. But i have been procrastinating this simple task of leaving you a comment for weeks. I've been busy and only comment when commented. I do admire your work and your blogs are quite the read. congratulations on a wonderful page. And. xoxoxox :)
I just wanted to say hello and compliment you on your gallery. You've got a really great selection of pictures here, I really like your natural style and your use of light. Lots and lots of interesting stuff to read too! I reckon I'm going to be a regular reader. Take it slow... Mark
Heeeeey... You're another one on here who I see has fanagled a way around (what I thought was the max) of 16 "Top Friends." How'd you manage that one, if you don't mind me asking? Whatever the case, very best of regards to you...CCx
Thanks for the comment on my first post- nice to know I'm not alone in my technological woes! Love your photography- really beautiful shots you've got here.
thnak you. I'm just collecting all the art i see in San Francisco... check out the new slideshow on TINGLETANGLE and WEMARNY sections on the nav bar menu of http://ozcillator.com. peace, franz
Hello Thorsten. I've been doing a lot of uber-diving, and I must say that yours stands out as one of my top five blogs. It's so diverse and interesting! Keep up the good work! All the best, Stewart
Hi Thorsten, Thanks for the great idea for a blog posting on how a designer comes to dress a star at the Oscars. I will have to write it! Continue to check my blog, I'm going to continue to add great stuff in the next few weeks. xoNick
I found it annoying, the D-Lux 3, that you can't get a good grip at it. That you use the screen as viewfinder is kind of OK. But the light from the screen, as well as the red AF light at night does not make it a stealth camera like a traditional quiet Leica M.
