Hello and a friendly welcome to my flickr habitat!

Started flickr'ing in May 2007 and still addicted since the first second! Addicted by:

beauty, fun, interestingness, lovely people, worldwide contacts, comments and all the other things you surely know, too!

A lot of my first photos were taken with my HDV-camcorder, a Sony HDR-HC3E, which I bought in 2006 for my very first trip to California. The quality of the movies is great and I should use the video-feature more often, I think! Some samples can be found in my set of videoclips.

And perhaps you still think: Videos are not for flickr! Take one minute, watch this short clip and tell me your opinion.

By the way: 10 of my actually 11 videoclips made it to explore! Thank you all!

Since late summer 2007 I'm proud owner of a Canon EOS 400D with Canon 18-55 mm and Tamron 70-300mm lens. This equipment is just the right for an advanced beginner like me and will surely grow within the next years. I love to be out in the nature, love the summer and the sun. I think this will reflect in my photos.

This is my group (founded by me):

Spend some time of your life and watch the wonderful film "HOME" by following this link:

HOME by Yann Arthus-Bertrand

And remember: It's not too late! You, or even better, we can change and save the world!

PS: Would be great to get some comments for my photos!

Dear friends, without your help this would have been impossible! THANKS!
