My wife and I just arrived to an incredible hotel, Steigenberger Grandhotel Petersberg, in the small town of Koenigswinter, Germany. We are a day early for the biennial Phase One dealer meeting. Only a select number of US dealers are invited so we are always grateful for the invitation. Tomorrow will be a day of products announcements, technical information, and teambuilding the Danish way. It is always an enjoyable few days before Photokina begins. I will try to keep everyone up to date with any new product or technical information that will be allowed to leave the presentation room. Right now you will have to settle for the few images that we shot today on our day off. Enjoy.

Our room can be seen by the open window in the top floor. Embarassingly large and full of history.

Our room is the open window on the corner… Huge and Amazing

Is this considered drinking and driving in Germany?

Drinking and Driving?

40 hours of being awake, its time for some rest.

A long journey to get here.

A relaxing evening before the next two crazy days.

A Quiet night before the storm..
