I do not know how she made it, i really have no idea. But suddenly, out of the nothing, she stood right in front of me in my house, smiling. She caught me in her bright large eyes, said something in her language i did not understand and switched to mine, while walking straight to the set. While taking the Tanto and posing with it she said: “Now i, Princess Daidiri, i am your galactic warrior wife, your outer space wife ( she smiled again ) with an earth based photographer”. She smiled again. I took some pictures and she was so nervous, watching my digital workflow and what i am doing. When she saw the final picture she took it, smiled, put some strange thing on my desk and vanished in a second. No idea how she did it …

Some of you asked me, whether i always use my Olympus E-5 with all its gears even when i am travelling. First, it is a difficult to answer question. It depends would be the correct answer. 2-3 years back in time the answer would have been 100% YES. But now…

The more i travel the more i wish to travel light. A Leica M camera would be a wonderful solution wit 3 lenses: 24 mm, 50 mm and 90 mm. A perfect travel set and wonderful for portrait shooting as well. Ever saw the Leica pricelist ?? So here is my solution:

It is a Olympus E-P3 with exactly the travel set as said above. 12 mm, 25 mm, 45 mm. Ups you say, it is always half the focal length. Yes, correct. The Olympus System is based on a chip which has, compared to a full frame camera, a cropfactor of 2. So easy. And above shown primes are FAAAAAAST. F1.4 and F2…..

The complet set fits beautifully into the small und stealthy ThinkTank Restrospective 5. A big flash gun, batteries, SD cards etc as well. And it is still light in weight.
