Hi Franz, Remember me? I was in Sicily in 2016 visiting my cousins in Leonforte and Nissoria. I still like to look at your photos. Ciao ciao
ellen 20-Jun-2014 00:48
My sister & I are planning a trip to Sicily this September (2014) and are planning on viviting Gangi as our grandfather, Salvatore Scavuzzo and his twin sister were born there probably around the late 1890"s to 1900. They came to America via Ellis Island when they were either 2 or 5 years old. After reading the comments at your site, I came across a Santo Ciappina who has a relative with the name ciappina scavuzzo. Is there any way ti get in touch with them to see if they know if its the same scavuzzo as us? Also, need to know about transportation in Sicily as we are not renting a car during our stay there.

Hi, Franz, vielleicht kannst du dich noch an mich erinnern! Wir trafen uns mal in WORMS bei Harald und Roswitha. Mein Name ist Jürgen und ich war mit dem Kleinen Lukas da. Bin ja auch ein begeisterter Fotografierer, aber deine Qualitä erreiche ich doch nur manchmal durch Zufall! Aber jetzt, wo Lukas größer wird, können wir auch die Natur erkunden, und da bieten sich immer gute Motive! Hoffentlich bis bald mal wieder in WORMS! Jürgen Schönhals

Herausragende Bilder!
Deine Galerien sind neben dem Träumen gut für die Urlaubsplanung.
Werde bald mehr Alben von Dir bestaunen, denn ich habe nur nach Horni Mala Upa/Tschechien gesucht und so Deine Werke gefunden.
Deine Fotos sind eine tolle Erinnerung, z.B. an Polen, Norwegen, Timisoara und Riga.
Die Stadt Dresden,in der ich wohne, hast Du sehr gut fotografisch entdeckt.

Dear Mr. Bauer,

I just came across your wonderful photographs of Jugendstil buildings in Vienna, especially the one of Reisnerstrasse 29. I would like you to know that I have many fond memories of the place as I lived there from 1921 (when I was one year old)until just after the Anschluss in September 1938, when I immigrated to England because Mr. Hitler had decreed I should leave meine Heimatstadt.

Sincerely,

Lesley Wyle (geborene Ilse Eisinger)

Hi Franz,
Thanks so much for the photos of Gangi,Sicily, the town where my grandfather was from. He emigrated to Argentina when he was very young and spent most of his life in Buenos Aires, but he never could learn how to speak Spanish! You're an awesome photographer, congratulations -Gabriela

Hello Franz, you have a very nice collection of aerial images and had a closer looked that those in Germany and the Alps. I spent a few years in Europe and drove around those area and was great to see them from the air. Also some of your US pictures are cool. Looked to me you had a great time taking pictures from the air. I would to share some of my aerial pictures in Washington state. http://www.pbase.com/longbachnguyen/aerial_&page=1

Hello franz.....
I came across your photos of the Mani Peninsula on Greece and was curious if you could recommend a place to stay. (you have one photo with what appears to be a stone guest room...) I will be visiting in July as I research art and architecture on a fellowship with the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any opinions/advice you could give would be appreciated!
Many thanks....heather www.myspace.com/smartsyartsy

I will be travelling to Madeira for the first time in August and was so pleased to find a site which gave me such a wonderful pictorial idea of what I can expect to see. The island looks stunningly beautiful. The photos are amazing and as a keen photographer myself I appreciate the quality. I will make sure I take plenty of memory cards with me as I think my SLR will get plenty of use.

Hello Franz

My name is Craig Williams

A friend and I operate a website called www.getalookatthis.com

We are doing a series of stories on Funchal Airport

Would are wondering if we may be able to use the two pictures you have of the Funchal Airport.

We would of course give you full credit for the photos and also link to your gallery if you would like us to do that.

We will also make sure that the photos are reduced down to 500 pixels wide and reduce the quality of the jpg image so that it is not possible to enlarge the image for printing

Thank You

Today I learned a very important word in english. Loof means Lufaschwamm. ;)
I think it's bad, that there are no smileys to put into this message. (Wouldn't happen at my side)

I was searching for pictures of Umbria and found your galleries and got lost in beauty!:-)
I really,really enjoyed your pictures very much! Those of Greece were also truly amazing, all of them actually, but because I live in Greece I was able to appreciate these even more.
It is so refreshing and wonderful to see such beauty all in one place!:-)
Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Hi Franz,

Thanks for leaving messages on my gallery.

WOWWW... Your pictures are GORGEOUS!!! I was so impressed by the albumn "Piano Grande" which makes me want to explore that area when I come back to italy in April 06.

May I ask you how to get to Piano Grande by public transportation? Any tips or suggestions to visit there?

Thanks very much for sharing your wonderful photos!!!!

Franz,
Your pictures of Vienna are the best I have found on the net. I hope one day to take such fine pictures. I come to Vienna twice a year to vist family and have feel in love with this city. The photo of the entrance to St. Stephens in the snow is one of the best I have ever seen. Love is not enough to explain what this city does to you. You can read about this city you can watch TV programs about it. But until you have stood and waited on the 2 on the Ring you have not breathed. Short story my Mom grew up during the war and my Dad was in the US Army They have moved here to be close with her remaing family.

Hallo Franz!

Wird wohl ein Weilchen dauern bis ich durch all deine tollen Gallerien durch bin. Jedenfalls danke für's vorbeischauen. Du scheinst ja ein ziemlicher Globetrotter zu sein.

Ein paar Antworten auf deine Fragen:
1) Panorama: die Datei-grösse hat sich in Grenzen gehalten weil ich nicht an tifs sondern jpgs gearbeitet habe (zw. 100 mb und 500 mb ist ja doch ein Unterschied). Ich glaube andernfalls hätte mir mein PC den Stinkefinger gezeigt. War in erster Linie für ein animiertes pano für die homepage der Felsenbühne Staatz gedacht. Unterhttp://www.felsenbuehne-staatz.at/
und dann >Information>Felsenbühne kannst du dir's ansehen.

2) Midi-files. Ist eine verlockende Vorstellung, aber was mache ich dann mit dem Gesang? Da wären schon Audio-files nötig. Die Jekyll&Hyde Bilder werden in ein paar Monaten ohnehin auf ein Best-of reduziert. Zur Zeit gebe ich den Darstellern und sonstigen Mitwirkenden eine Gelegenheit die für sie interessanten Bilder herunterzuladen.

Sag mal wo bist du eigentlich zu Hause - hab da einige Bilder aus dem Weinviertel gesichtet. Nur so eine Frage, weil ich jedes Wochenende in Mistelbach verbringe.

Also, deine site wird mir noch viel Zeit kosten, aber es lohnt sich.

you have outstanding photographs from all over the world, I am impressed! In particular I loved the Norway, Ireland, Sweden, and many others! I have bookmarked your site for future visit, it's impossible to look at all the pictures in one day and I definitely will want to see all of them. Thank you for your comment on one of my galleries, I did really appreciated. My only little advice is to go a little wider on your landscape. I had a 10D and upgraded to a 1DmkII and now I am quite happy with my 17-40 real wide shots.
Look forward to see more.
Cheers

I came across your photos while visiting the PBase.com web site, and I really enjoyed browsing through them. I’m contacting you to see if you will allow the Sam M. Walton College of Business, University of Arkansas to use one of your photos on our Study Abroad web site. The photo we have in mind is the one of the Matterhorn (#23050386). We will not use the entire photo, just a portion of the photo, as the area we are working with is 618x120 in size. Of course we would display the proper credit for the photo.

Ciao, spero che ti ricordi di me: sono quel ragazzo rappresentante di libri che hai incontrato presso l'hotel Castello di Petralia Sottana (PA)nel mese di Aprile 2004, quando ti ho aperto la porta e ho chiamato al cellulare la titolare dell'hotel.
Ho visitato la tua galleria di foto: è semplicemente fantastica, sei un grande.
Mi piacerebbe molto che tu rispondessi, dicendomi magari dove ti trovi adesso.
Spero tanto di rincontrarti, di nuovo, sui monti delle Madonie.
Ciao e buon lavoro.
Guest 12-May-2004 02:09
Hi your photos are fantastic, I start by putting a few “SUPERBE PHOTO, BRAVO.” On some photos but I stopped because there’s too many to do so and they worth a different comment for each. I prefer to rite this note in the guestbook. I put you in my favorite artist, I did not saw all but I will and be back for more after. What impresses me is your “perspective”, your photos are crisp and you go to the borderline of dark and you do it very well the textures and contrasts are fantastic. You’re Gooood!
Mattana11-May-2004 20:48
Thank you very much for you compliments on my Tuscan Towns and Churches Gallery. I have been following your work for awhile and think it is superb. It makes me realize that I still have a long way to go. Tuscany just blew my mind and I do agree with you that it isn’t easy to show those beautiful things with small images.

Hi Bauer!
Thanks for your kind comments on my "Óbidos" gallery. I love your galleries especially the Portugal ones, of course, but also others - like Ireland...!. You really have travelled through out Europe, haven't you?
This is funny since, apart from having also a "Óbidos" gallery, we’re "related" in other ways. You have a photo of a plane from the company I work for (F-100, CS-TPC of PGA- Portugália Airlines) and a photo (Lisboa bridge3) from a perspective very similar from my "Mass Belief" one.

Great photos! Keep them coming, I'll be stopping by...

I assume you took many of these photos on a sturdy monopod, if not a sturdy tripod, as they are so sharp and well composed. What techniques did you use to keep the background without eliminating the detail in the foreground? Can you share any technical details with us?

I surfed into your galleries, looking for areas to visit in Austria and Switzerland. Yet, regardless of the countryside you visited, your capture of the light is superb! What wonderful memories and images you share. Thank you.

I just got back from Italy and loved the Amalfi drive. I stopped long enough in Amalfi to see most of the sights you have here. Your beautiful composition of these sights and your lighting brings the whole thing back to me in fond memories of a beautiful town. Thanks.

HI Franz,

Your photos left me speechless! Capturing the world in the way you have is no easy task. I've only seen the tip of the iceberg; and haven't visited half of your other galleries! Trust me, I'll be coming back again and again and again. I've put you on my favorites list. If you have the time, swing around my gallery and take a peek.

Hi, really nice photos! I made almost same trip to California/Vegas. Unfortunately my camera was robbed with 900+ pictures on the card. Can I download some of your photos and show them to my family? Would be great! Thomas ttoth_work@yahoo.com

Hi Franz. Thanks for the comments. I couldn't use my 10D because there was a problem with the sensor. My fault. I didn't turn the camera off when changing lenses (not supposed to leave it on). How do you like your 10D? I'll have to get back when I have some more time (darn slow connection). – Tom

Franz: A very impressive catalog of your travels and some top-notch work. Looks like (if you're not) you should be working for the travel magazines, as there is much that pleases the eye and shows the locales perfectly. PS: Thanks for your kind words in my portfolios. - Dan

Very nice shots, thanks for sharing them.
I noticed that Switzerland photos are actually scans from slides. May I ask you what scanner you used to scan? Regards

You have been very quite for a while.
It is time we see your fantastic work again.

Hallo,
ich würde einige der Bilder gerne für eine "inoffiziell" Schönbrunn-Seite verwenden. Ist das - unter Nennung des Urhebers & Link zu Deiner Galerie - erlaubt?

Back again. If circumstances were different and I could do a lot of traveling, I'm sure I would wear out my cameras! You are blessed, not only with the means to travel, but with the talent to record the experiences. Great work, Bauer. – Tom

Hallo Franz,
ich habe gerade Ihre ausgezeichneten Bilder angesehen, Kompliment! Zu einer Reise nach Venedig im Karneval kann ich auf jeden Fall nur raten, Motive im Überfluss ...
Meine eigene Gallerie zu diesem Thema ist zur Zeit noch etwas klein, wird aber, sobald meine Zeit es erlaubt, weiter ausgebaut.
