Thank you for the encouraging words. I wish you all the best and, above all, much success in your artistic career, if you even aspire to one.

Thank you for the encouraging words. But I know exactly how to classify my photos. They're far from excellent. Nevertheless, they're sufficient for my purposes. Firstly, as historical documents, and secondly, as models for my true strength—painting/drawing/illustration.

I've looked at your pictures and I'm very impressed. Unfortunately, I only viewed them at a small size, but I think they're still brilliant even when enlarged.

For me personally, absolute sharpness is crucial for high quality – which also makes sense when I use them as a painting templates. That doesn't mean I don't also pay attention to composition/arrangement and other artistic aspects. Unfortunately, that's rarely possible for my style of photography, which relies on the spontaneity of the situation.

Even in museums, I have to act extremely quickly to avoid distractions such as people walking into the frame. It can often happen that you have to wait several minutes for the right moment. Then, to ensure quality, you have to repeat the shot several times. This can sometimes take a lot of time. As I've mentioned several times before, because of these imponderables, I've missed many cars in interesting poses, especially on public roads. Sometimes it's very, very annoying. Even today, I still mourn some situations that were often perfect.

But I don't want to bother or bore you any further with that. I wish you all the best for your artistic development and for your entire life. Based on your age information in your profile, I can see that you still have plenty of time for this. So, use this time wisely, is my well-intentioned advice for your "journey."

Thank you very much for this attention. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to thanking you for all the favorites and other gifts lately. But that has nothing to do with contempt or ignorance, but rather has to do with my current life situation, which robs me of an enormous amount of energy. It is said in German that time heals all wounds, but this doesn't apply to me. I'm still struggling with my mother's death and I can't see any change for the better. My current project to deal with this issue (originally intended by me as a form of self-therapy) is also not providing the relief I was hoping for. The pain of what I experienced and the resulting negative consequences for my everyday life are too deep. In this respect, I ask for your indulgence if I do not respond immediately to your extremely kind attentions. Nevertheless, I register them and find them to be very beneficial for my soul. Thanks for that too. In any case, I wish you all the best and hope that you make ends meet safely and, above all, healthy.
