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.

Meeting the German Family
We were picked up from the Frankfurt airport at 5:45am(!) by my mother's Aunty Erica and Uncle Manfred. Despite a little jet lag, and the cold and wet weather (the weather in Sydney was sunnier), we stayed awake and set off to see the sights.
Wiesbaden is beautiful. We started with a visit to Erika and Manfred's garden. It is common in Germany to own a garden on a separate block of land than your flat. There ...
