The Fan shop said goodbye to old stomping ground and I was invited to May to photograph the farewell pictures. For me, it’s an honor and a special sign of trust. I met with other photographers to try out each other's equipment and exchange experiences im June. The new football season started in advance July With a fantastic action by fans painting the back straight. I treated myself to a week's vacation August and of course had one Camera on the beach.
