Well, I guess it's about time to write at least a bit about myself to let you guys know something about the person behind the pics.
BIO
I was born on 19.01.1971 (that's why 71 is in my nick) in Hamburg/Germany. I still work there, but a few years ago my husband and I bought a small flat in a little town a bit up north.
Since I was a kid I always liked taking pictures. Until X-mas 2002 I used a Canon EOS 600 and was totally happy with that. My husband wanted a digicam and I thought we didn't really need one. Well, I guess I was wrong. Taking pics with our Fuji Finepix S304 is so much more fun. Especially since you can always try out a million things and then "throw away" the pics you don't like without having to pay for them being developed first :-) I'm still finding out how many possibilities there are in postworking - and viewing other people's galleries has inspired me a lot.
Thank you all so much for commenting on my pics. It really means a lot to me, if someone likes one of my shots and I always feel very bad, when I just can't seem to find the time to do that much commenting myself...
Hugs Drea UPDATE February 2006: As I feel really, really honoured that my gallery has been chosen as this month's "GOM", I of course just "have to" display the award going along with it here ;-)
UPDATE May 2006: I finally did it - bought a Canon 350D and will start to find out all those "new possibilities" coming along with it... Have to say, that I still love the Fuji and feel kind of bad putting it aside. But who knows - I might still use it from time to time anyway...

This is so dreamy, and should be saved as a card fro sending out. It makes snow have a whole new meaning.

Wonderful winter scene ! Congratulations, Andrea, for your well deserved selection in LWitG [ Last Week in the Galleries = http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12379&Form.ShowMessage=2622811 ] :~)

My dear friend Andrea, like the empty bench I feel sad by the current events that have taken center stage and played a game of roulette. Many have left Renderosity for various reasons and in some way I have not been immune and feel pain for the loss of so much talent. Yet there are memories and friendships which have been forged here, these I shall remember as I too shall be leaving soon. Like your image, it has been a long cold winter and we are all waiting for spring and the sunshine it brings, while reminding us that things keep changing and we cannot stop it. Just this last weekend, I received three IMs from good and close friends, informing me of their departure by the end of the month. Thought there are still many here who are my friends and I would want to stay in contact with, I just find it very hard to remain. I wish I paid you more attention because you are special person with a great heart. Always being positive and seeing the brighter side of life, no matter how dark. In many ways you and your art have touched me and I forever will not forget you. Thank you for being here and sharing your wonders with all of us at Renderosity. Egmont
