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

- celebrating over 30 years of photographing experience - but still learning new things every day.

i started out with my mom´s Kodak Instamatic, then used my dad´s Zeiss Ikon
Contessa until it broke,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 i acquired 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...maybe until the EOS
5D MKII will be available.*g*

Besides a photo in an american school-book i now have a photo in a swedish
WHO-magazine - not bad for an amateur.*g*
