During the last week I have been trying my new photo lamps and some leather straps I found.

The result was interesting…

Still trying to figure out how to set my camera and playing with the light for best results…

Quick and dirty group shot…

To sum up, I had a lot of fun! I still haven’t learned proper camera/light…

But, I do hope “practice make perfect” will apply one day.

A few highlights of the week: HoMe-, Jaeger-LeCoultre-, Zenith Masthead

And of course - perfect timing to wear my GMT the same day Nicolas put his fantastic GMT post online over at the Rolex forum!

So, how was your week?

Best
