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...
