Rückkehr nach Luftspiegelung

"You must speak every word loudly when you learn new language. You already knew English so that It's very fast to learn German. Very fast." S said, "Do you know how to sing ABCD song in German?"

I met S last year when I went to Germany to report a important exhibition. That was the first time I saw this great person. 1 month later, we met again in Taipei. Then, it's the unexpectable thing that we became businese connection in the beginning of this year.

He came to Taiwan this week. In the daytime, there was a long meeting battle. Everyone was serious. I learned many many things in the meeting. It was over last night. After dinner, I picked him up to hostel. We had a talk in the car. Talked about learning German, camera, photography, and others. I opened my case, showed him my M6, and told the camera story.

"It looks nice. Did you ever think you'd be here in the past?"

I really never think of it. Suddenly I felt a little depressed. I don't know why. Some images came to me. "May I take a picture of you?" "Of course!" He smiled. I put focus on his eyes, set open aperture, turned shutter speed to 1/15 second, and then pressed shutter button quickly.

"Wiedersehen!" I said. I think it will be a nice B/W picture.
