Hi Daniel , I wanted to say that those shots were really great ! and I was back at work on the 8th Nov when my mind wondered back to the two great days I hve spent at the seminar , so I decided to check the forum for this event. I was EXTREMELY pleased that you have so efficiently uploaded the pix for sharing .... I am a ARDENT FAN of Koyama Shihan, he inspires me, I want to be like him when I am 80 ! THANKS SO MUCH for those EXCELLENT PHOTOS! Best regards, Alexis

Thank you Daniel. These are some of the more beautiful aikido shots I have seen in a while. Please do keep up the excellent job. Don't worry about the naysayers and I will show you this book full of artistic aikido photos the next time we see you at Renbukan Dojo. P/S: Where is the photo of me and my baby girl that you took?

thank you all indeed for the encouraging words. I just got reprimanded for not having shot the whole event - meaning: for having failed to shoot the sayonara fairwell party. well ... each one's priorities are different, aren't they ...

Dear Daniel, Thank you so much. You really did fantastic work at The 4th Asian Aikido Federation congress in Bangkok. Your pictures realize each moment as a wonderful memory. We really spent a good time in there. Luckily enough, I could find some of myself in your pictures, it also make me happy. But, I am sure your pictures make all of the participants happy. Thanks a lot, hope see you next time.

Dear Daniel, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The gallery is full of great pictures! especially of Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba. You got a lot of the participants from the seminar. You got the main bases covered. I like to take pictures myself, and from my point of view, you did a truly Magnificent Job! Your gallery shows it! I never realized that my picture would be taken, especially when I was on the mats doing the technique, and actually be included in the pictures gallery. I was focused on the seminar itself and doing the techniques with an aikido partner. Now the pictures are truly reminiscent of the event and of the wonderful time I had at the 4th AAF Congress Seminar and Demonstration. See you in the next Asian Aikido Seminar! Jerome

Dear Daniel, Wow!! Just wanted to let you know that you did a fantastic job with the photo's for the 4th Asian Aikido Congress. The pictures are great, some really good shots of Usehiba Doshu, Fukakusa Shinhan and some nice candid shots of other Shihan's and individuals. I hope all who attended and even those who didn't will have an opportunity to see what a wonderful job you did! Thanks mate, nice one!! Edward.
