Hello to all my Flickr friends - I really enjoy photography, I find it very relaxing and rewarding.

I purchased my first decent camera in 1973, a Minolta SRT 101. Lots of fun taking pictures of our new born son back then. Got more interested as time went on and then purchased a Nikon, love those Nikon's!

I wish you all the best with your photography.

A note about my Flickr name (1madgerman) - my family has put up with me for close to twenty years searching my German roots! So I'm now named by my oldest son "1madgerman" In a joking way I believe! So I went with that.
