A stunning collection and series of beautiful images, Jane. With this variety of images it is difficult to determine my fav image. But I think it is the bridge and boat image. We were for 7 days in SF a few years ago. No fog. But I was not into photography in these days anyhow. I remember the bridge because of a different reason. When we picked up our BIG mobile home for our Highway #1 tour I wanted to avoid SF and the bridge. I took the wrong exit. Had to pass the city center and bridge in the late afternoon traffic. Needed a BIG glass of wine at the first camping site. But it was fun. Smiles. Reinhold

What a great story, Reinhold. I am imagining you navigating on the bridge and hwy 1 in a big RV! You are brave!

Thank you, Jane! I was always documenting our trips to foreign countries. Vacation snapshots… as we all do. I bought my first DSLR in 2009. A Nikon D200, followed by a NIKON D800. But still mainly clicks during trips. No idea, no plan, no passion. It all started in 2015. A problem in my neck disabled my right arm and hand. I had to stop working as an IT consultant. I was willing to fight my way out of this with my new passion: photography. I sold all my heavy gear and bought the Fuji X-T1 and 2 lenses. Lightweight! I bought a MacBook, a WACOM tablet, Lightroom and Photoshop. I had long walks to local spots around me. And worked my way back into life. I am now back to normal. With one exception. Early 2015 I was rich (as a consultant) and unhappy. Now I am not so rich (as a photographer) but more than happy. My dream is to make a living out of that. But that will be a long journey. But what is more important than being on a journey. We will see what happens. Thanks for your interest, Jane. And if I have told you that story before… I am sorry! 🙂 Happy Days. Reinhold
