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...

....I love this photo -- it's a very solid piece of work - great tone and simple frame work well with it -- I'd put it on my wall ,for sure -- but the title ( though an apt description of what's going on here ) -- when tied directly to the S&G song seems overly sentimental and doesn't really relate to this image for me ...I think the photo easily stands on it's own and doesn't benefit from, or need, that tie in...

Absolutely love that song! (even if it deals with a drug addiction) Is this image taken at a "lock house" by chance? So very turbulent, can't imagine where else you might have captured it with that bridge.
