During The Russian Chronicles, we enjoyed receiving hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of email letters from around the world. Your encouragement, enthusiasm, support and curiosity are the things that make these jouneys possible.

Although we'll only be in Cologne these few short days, September 18th through the 23rd, we welcome your questions and feedback while we're here.

We'd also encourage you to think what you might like to ask one of the Germans we encounter during our days on the streets of Cologne, or perhaps one of the over 150,000 visitors and photo professionals that will attend Photokina this year.

So put fingers to the keys and give us a shout. We'll be looking forward to hearing from you. (We'd take a box of cookies, too!)
