A big "Hello!" from Cologne, Germany! :-)


Born in 1968, the first camera with about 5 years - my momīs Kodak Instamatic, then my dadīs Zeiss Ikon Contessa,
finally in 1982 my own Konica Autoreflex TC which lasted until 1989 and had to be replaced by a
Canon EOS 650, different (used) ones followed (EOS 1N, EOS 50e) as well as the APS-format Canon IX.

In 2005 the first digital SLR with the EOS 300D, 1 year later the 20D and the 400D. Since March 2008 i am using the EOS 40D.

In 1995 I finished my studies at the University of Wuppertal as a Food Chemist and am now working in a chemical laboratory.


Some great news - as a total amateur i have one of my photos in a book! :-)
