Way back in 1974, I was 20 years old, went to Paris with my Leica lllA from 1939. Wonderful experience, even got my pictures and story published after almost 50 years at Emulsive.
My favourite camera is my Voigtländer Vito II from 1950. Folded up it is the same size as the camerabody of my Sony ZV-E10 and is as easy to bring along as an iphone. The beauty of that old camera and the geniune process of using it is a great inspiration for my photography. I would not say it slows me down, but it gives every photograph a meaning, to me myself at least.
Straight to the point! Answers to questions, sometimes we spend months thinking about, in very clear and direct way. Great Thorsten, always good hearing your words. All the best .
You provide many thoughtful answers to the question, "Why take photographs." I have followed your UA-cam channel for quite some time. I always learn. Thank you.
I can almost distinguish a Thorsten Overgaard shot among many others. They always look a bit out of focus in the most pleasant way. With the shallow depth of field you complete a vintage look which is of unheard beauty. You always hit my personal taste of composition, well done. Thanks for sharing and carry on
Regarding your question "what should I do with them (your photographs)?" Consider buying a "smart" TV with a USB port and a "slide show" capability. Download your photographs to a SanDisk thumb drive, insert the drive in your new TV, and hang the TV where - with some effort - your neighbors will be able to see it (perhaps through a knothole in the closely-spaced slats of your backyard fence). Leave just a slight gap in your living room curtains.
Hello! Great work at sharing and teaching photography! I recently bought some old zeiss lenses. Can you share your opinion on how zeiss lenses compare to leica lenses? I am curios what you think of zeiss lenses. Thank you
I don't have a lot of experience with Zeiss lenses. New ones are 'precise, sharp and cold' but I think the older ones have more soul. But that's my experience from relatively little use in real life.

Paris, est une ville que l'on photographie dans n'importe quel lieu, la belle photo viendra d'un endroit où on ne l'attend pas ( de son hôtel, d'un commerce ou d'un grand ensemble ou tout simplement les endroits que l'on photographie. Dans un endroit où c'est interdit,faire des photos au grand-angle, à la dérobée, et recadrer avec l'ordinateur, on fera aussi des très bonnes photos.
"and then when you see something you take a picture." Yep, agree. But what's next with these pictures? Not enough walls to print and hang, so putting on a website which nobody in the world ever cares about, or adding to Social Media to be scrolled through in 0.4 secs? Just "to have it on your PC disk" is not really all to satisfying an option...
Yes, that is the next. Hence my slogan "Everything has to go Somewhere" which is part of The "Workflow Masterclass" online class, and also in this video: "Everything has to go Somewhere" ua-cam.com/video/LnSpPbKsiBQ/v-deo.htmlsi=_sEOSYTqt6jUxao8 and this one, "The Artist Life" ua-cam.com/video/kRDqq4wc4fc/v-deo.htmlsi=iT-gYMu95epD3yqG
That's a good point. But, the more photos you take, the more practice you get. And the chance that one day you will take maybe one photo that becomes iconic. It's like searching for an unknown treasure. The journey is the reward.
I like to make books from my photos that I refer to often since they sit on my shelf along with all the other photo books. Self publish printing companies make it very economical to print only one or two copies. Plus they are fun to layout and create.
I live in a neighbourhood which is very ordinary so I dont have anything to photograph and I dont have time and money to travel to all those beautiful places.

I live in a neighbourhood which is very ordinary so I dont have anything to photograph and I dont have time and money to travel to all those beautiful places.
The point of photography is to take what is ordinary around you, use your camera, and find a way to frame it in a beautiful way
