Made another friend.
Was taking photos on the streets near the Christmas Markets when I was approached by another photographer, asking me whether I am using the X-E1. We chatted for sometime and turns out he's a pro with a history of M6s and was carrying 2 XPro1s with different lenses. He gave me some tips on where best to shoot the night markets.

Exploring Hanau...not much to it!
... town of Hanau reminded me of the trip I took with mom, grandma, Alex, and Julia to a little recreated tourist trap German town in Michigan. I couldn’t shake the feeling that the place wasn’t real. It was the hometown of the Grimm brothers, after all.
