    Love your photos Norbert! Can’t believe I hadn’t heard of your work prior to the app that came out with fotopedia. I have a deep interest in Japan - I lived there last year and my family and I are returning in the spring. Your photography has really inspired me to branch out in some of the kinds photography I do when we go back. Thanks for that! And thanks for sharing your vision from behind the lens!

      Hi Les -
      thanks a lot for your nice message! I am glad that you got a chance to download the Fotopedia app, and that you enjoyed my photography from Japan. Your own photos show a keen eye for capturing some of the distinctive shapes, colors and details of Japan (and I notice that you have enjoyed visiting many of the same places that I also got to see 😀). Enjoy your return there next spring, and happy shooting!
      Best wishes -
      Norbert

    Thank you so much for sharing all of this. Don’t know where I got the first show from, but love your site.

    You do a wonderful job of capturing the architecture so beautifully designed with nature.

    Would love to go to Japan, China and Asia.

    Thanks again,
    Anna Waldman
