Please make a video on your pen collection

[@_Just_Some1]

Yes!!

[@oncleschultz]

Sensitive and sensible way

[@carrieannkouri2151]

Refreshing. The nostalgia of paper goods never fades. Cheers!

[@janosb5953]

You sir are one of the most interesting person on KZbin. And that's coming from someone who has a terrible handwriting and doesn't even own a Leica camera. Thank you for your entertaining videos!

[@webersteve1547]

I was often reluctant to your videos but with the last videos I found how similar we think and how inspiring your videos are. Thank you very much!

[@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard]

Glad to turn you over :-)

[@diegofasoli8615]

Silver on paper is a thing . With ink and pen become an action . A fact .💣❣❤

[@Sailingbill1]

Super inspirational Thorsten! I love the idea.

[@JimEmbury]

Thank you for sharing. I like sending postcards of my photos as well.

[@theodorkierdorf7378]

I have a passion for fountain pens, paper, notebooks and Leica cameras, funny coincidence. I like the postcard thing!

[@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard]

Thank you. I find that many who like photography like notebooks, pens, etc.

[@jeffreymorley2064]

I have a postcard from a former boss that I have held on to for over 20 years. 'Hand written' has always had meaning, and even more so today.

[@macbookdieter]

I’m going to do it!

[@AnilPatel-tu2qj]

Great thought on past cards and of course cheap way to own a piece of Throsten - work of art

[@PopsKustojo]

Thank you for this wonderful idea. Nothing compares to a postcard, but personally made ones, they’re especially heartened personal notes.

[@ac5040]

Haha. You made me laugh with the ‘one more thing.’ For those who don’t know Mr Thor yet, behind the model looks, the expensive bags, the multi-million-dollar Leica collection, is a sincere kind person with whom one can just have a cup of coffee like with an old friend. ;-))

[@ac5040]

P.s. the title shot of the video looks like you are Steve Jobs introducing the white iPad - and the window on that postcard is where an Apple logo would be. The hidden wink to SJ, Thorsten brings the postcard to the people :-)

[@peetje28021970]

You're a classy person Thorsten. All the best.

[@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard]

Thank you :-)

[@j.k5654]

Thank you Sir

[@davidselby976]

Thorsten - you have a vision of photography which embraces people and their environment and the beauty of things. It seems natural that this vision should include Leica cameras and the beauty of their functionality which is so well crafted to the task of capturing your vision. I have watched your videos on and off for several years now and find it all very convincing and seductive. I am not a Leica owner but am not sure I can resist it much longer .....

[@LyndonPatrickSmith]

Canon used to make a small dye sub postcard printer. I think it was called Selphy 100. Battery or AC, small enough to travel.

[@chinye107]

I still send postcard whenever I travel to different cities (Pre-Covid). Love your content! Hello from Singapore!

[@tjmanou6422]

Brilliant idea. Thank you. One day i will be counting how many times you said "postcard" in this video too just for fun :). Thank you Thorston. Big fan.

[@jody1622]

I love the font you use on your postcards. Would you mind sharing it?

[@JS-shim]

Thorsten, I love this video. Hopefully one day, the crazy governments around the world will let us travel again, so I can send some of your post cards to my family and friends. Keep up the good work and always wear a camera.

[@Biosynchro]

"Crazy" is too generous. 😉

[@ralfferfi2860]

If anybody will ask me anytime what a postcard is, I will give him or her the link to this video. 😉. I like the idea of your postcards and directly ordered some .

[@arvidfimreite3727]

Hei Thorsten. Eg er glad du tok opp dette tema, for det er ikkje mye som slår en personlig hilsen i form av et godt gammelt postkort. Eg har brukt TouchNote når eg reiser, men etter å ha sett dette trur eg at eg skal lage de sjøl. Tusen takk. Følger deg alltid! Hilsen Arvid på LEICAANDI.COM

[@kevin-parratt-artist]

Kære Thorsten, så du printer dine egne postkort. Fremragende! Men sikkert bliver dine bøger trykt af kommercielle trykkerier. Bruger du lokal trykkeriindustri eller sender du ud, til trykkerier i fx Singapore. Thank you for this presentation. 👌

[@webersteve1547]

Can you please tell a bit how you print those cards and cut them?

[@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard]

Lots of offset printers and digital printers who offer to print postcards. These are 300g paper.

[@Joshbaldophotography]

@@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard Hey Thorsten I love your channel and work! Can you point me in a printing service direction? Thanks for any help.

[@Biosynchro]

I really like this idea. Small postcards are almost a waste - why not just send a big one? There is much more impact that way, and there is more room to write a longer message. As for selling photos, I think that these days, there is no point selling photos. Here, you are not selling photos, you are selling postcards. Usually, you are selling books. I would not buy your photos (or anyone's photos), but I would buy products with your photos on them or in them. Photos are a dime a dozen. I have a few photos on Unsplash, and I will eventually put more there. Already, L'Oreal, via McCann Paris, has used one of my photos from Unsplash. I hope that this continues! Of course with some photos I can't do that, because they are taken for clients. But when a client hires you, they aren't buying photos, they are buying photography. A critical difference, I think. I do think that there can be a model to sell very high quality stock photos, though. Imagine a stock agency that holds only photos made with medium format cameras. That business model could work.

[@paulsehstedt6275]

Always wear a camera to make a dime!

[@genobambino]

I make desserts all the time. It's not that hard if you know how to cook. 🙂

[@TomasLonga]

MANHATTEN?

[@Joshbaldophotography]

saw that too, didn't know what to do!

[@macbookdieter]

I would like to send you a post card. Can you DM me an address? Thanks

[@thinkbig251]

Enjoy your videos but doing business with your company was not very pleasant experience. 3 mos wait for product and only after PayPal intervened was a product shipped.I hope others do not have same
