Sebastian: Today is my grandfather's birthday. For this reason I dedicate this picture to him (unfortunately I don't have a great portrait shot - except maybe this one). Without the time he spent with me in my childhood I probably wouldn't be taking pictures now. He has been a dedicated photographer in his free time for decades, using classical equipment like a Leica, a Hasselblad, Canons, slide projectors and other 'heavy' gear. How could I have possibly escaped such influences? Here's to you, Joachim. Cheers!

• Happy birthday to your grandfather. A great series and I really love the footprint. BTW I work about 100 meters from Hasselblad headoffice, the founder stay as a staty in my town.

• Thank you for your kind words ! I am comoved by the consideration you gave me ! Maybe my modest efforts gave you the direction to serious photography, but I see: As in some cases the pupil beats the teacher by far ! Congratulation ! Opa
