I've just sent out my January 2008 Newsletter with a link to my new 40 page free eBook "Twenty Portraits of 2007" where I've selected 20 portraits.

You may have seen some of them here, but feel free to download [2.3 MB] it anyway and comment what you think. Click on the picture or the download link.

I say respects for this excellent work!!
I like particularly the photo with the President Clinton. I find it very impressionante.

Very nice general impression, I liked some images more than others. The styles are very mixed.

The portrait of Dr. Blix is perfect! But also the one of the girl looking into the architecture is good.

Fantastic! Thank you for making it available.

@Ovidiu: Thanks, I love the expression "peaceful" for many reasons. I hope the persons rest in them self, as them self. I always aim for that, rather than presenting them as others might perceive them.

@mohomo: Thanks. It's fun to get responses because everybody seem to have their own take on which is the best. I like them all, of course, but for different reasons.

@ CLE-RF: Cropping is a great way to focus the viewers attention. However, I must admit that I'm very bad in cropping my own shots. I tend to keep it all there just in case someone could use the extra space for a headline or text box.

Downloading now, thanks for making available online.

Just downloaded it already and will have a look asap! Thank you so much for your kind advise on the photo slide show, I'll have a go at it over the weekend, see what I can come up with. Considering the Birthday Boy shot, I'm still contemplating the crop you suggested ( I obviously can see why), but I'm kinda hung up on the 2x3 ratio format... Cheers, Johan

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.

Hi Thorsten

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...

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.

Hello.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm really glad to receive a comment from you.

Not all thinks the same, because I've received a lot of critics on flickr.

Regards, Ulissa.

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.

Hi my friend !! The whole truth about the small rocket is on my blog ;)

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.
