Hello from Germany :)

[robat]

Hi, my name is Robert, I am 38 and work as a Network- and System-Administrator at an economic research facility in Mannheim/Germany. I love photography since my early childhood, my granddad gave me a 126 camera when I was around 5. After a pretty long break from photography I revived this hobby around 3 years ago and since then shoot mostly 6x6 with a Kiev-88 or 35mm with a Zorki 4. I seem to collect old cameras, since they start to pile up here on my photo gear shelf at home...
I still consider myself to be a bloody beginner, and have still a lot to learn. The results of this (hopefully existing) learning process can be viewed at my flickr page: robats flickr home. I shoot mostly analog and developy my BW stuff at home, but talk my soon-to-be-wife Yve into borrowing me her Nikon D50 sometimes, too.
Hmm, I guess thats all as an introduction, and before I bore you all to death I stop here, hehe. Cheers !

Welcome in, Robert, from one beginner to another. I like your Berlin photos.

I traveled a few years ago back to the places in Germany my family had left some 100 + years ago -and found beautiful places and wonderful people. I'll be back.

Hi Robert. I also liked your Berlin pictures. I looked because I was there 20 years ago. Welcome to APUG!

Dear Robert,

I won't try my German because it's bloody awful, but herzlich wilkommen anyway. Will you be at photokina or is that inconveniently far?

Cheers,

Roger

Welcome from the Isle of Wight, England.

I won't try German either as mine is probably worse than Roger's. As I mentioned in an earlier 'Hello from France' thread, if you were to ask me where the cat was and it happened to be on the table, I could understand and give a reply. But that's just about my limit!

Hi Robert, welcome from Hawaii, I hope you enjoy our community. Germany is a great place, I was last there in 2003, but lived there from 1979 - 1981 - loved every minute of it.
