Greetings,

Harald has a great deal of commitments hence a very dense schedule. I consider it a great honor that he may find the one or other minute to join in the fora and give us his valuable views and perspectives on the various subjects.

So, please join me in welcoming Prof. Harald Mante in our Fora!

P.S. If memory serves, some of your later books will be translated into english next May if I am not mistaken. Would that be right Harald?

Books like "Color Design in Photography" can not be bought as new anymore as far as I know, but can be found on the Internet.

Bonsoir Harald

I'm very happy to second Georg as to welcome you here.
Having read the above short (but rich!) bio, I am not sure that you would like us to feel honored to have you joining us.
So let me just say that your input will be, I'm certain, unvaluable, to me (another self taught) but for all for us.

So please make the plunge into our small but friendly place, totally devoted to photography and… sincerity!

Bienvenue!
PS my enthusiasm may be also drawn as to feel sometimes lonely here being a color advocate Vs" B&W supposed to save pictures" guys… see here ;-)

I was speaking with Harald earlier, and I am not sure whether he can manage to join us.

However, I will meet with Harald in Germany in May 2008 and spend 9 days trying to get as much stuff in my poor brain as I can in that amount of time. He lectures at the european academy of fine art in Trier.

If there is anything left of me afterwards <grins> I will try to translate the findings and experience into english and post it here.
