It was dear Dad who taught me photography (among other things such as writing), but also a love for his cameras and not the digital variety, either. He also had a wandering spirit, igniting in me the desire to travel to faraway places and capture the many wonderful images one encounters - grabbing that magic moment - during those journeys. Together we travelled everywhere, free spirits letting the music play, let life write it's own song as we danced to our own tune and a few drinkies besides.

We visited Malta, namely that grand old lady Valletta, its well trod' capital and there beneath some granite arches was a row of lovely old vintage cars. I shot these and a great many other pictures borrowing his Leica M4P and its splendid 'M' lens, it F1.4 Summilux Aspherical. Ever after, all I used was that one camera and its lens, and to measure light the old fashioned way, his lovely old Gossen Lunasix 3.
And then we travelled eastwards, to Greece, namely Kos and there just before sunrise I grabbed this shot of its northern harbour bathed in glorious gold.
More to come, later.
At Kos' harbour there we took the fast boat, a catamaran, to a far off island called Kalymnos, about half an hour's journey. He had a villa there, looking across to Telendos and that very first night we had a mother and a father of a thunderstorm. Behind Telendos came a menacing deep rumble, warning us to run inside and take cover! And then came a wall of rain. 0_o
After the storm had cleared, a beautiful blue cast settled from sky to sea, bathing Telendos in deep midnight blue.
And then the lights went down.
The morning after, we were greeted by silver dancing on water.
Diamonds, even!
Next to come, meet my other family. .. ... ....
