Born in the sixties of a bygone century (too late in fact, or too early - anyway feels like a rather long time ago and someone seems to have made a mistake).

M.D. (pediatrician). Homoeopath. Misanthrope (somewhat). Anglophile (somehow). Bookworm (sometimes). Politically extremist (some think). Traditionalist/Paleoconservative (could be, I love dinosaurs). Male chauvinist (but really just pretending). Nerd. Dilettante in many fields. Dances with Cards (but never otherwise!), Throws Coins and Sticks (at anyone, you better duck, honey). Loves to Sing like Emperor Nero, but never mastered the dratted piano. Little Big. Underpaid. Longing for the Sea - living on a hill. Walking alone in the Dark, not quite sure why, though. Mortally afraid most of the time, but standing boldly, looking for excuses anywhere, seeking enlightenment incessantly, knowing it won't come, yet. Heart of gold, brain the size of a planet - if you know what I mean.

What else would you want to learn (and why)?

My cameras:

film - hidden in a cupboard and unused for many years lies my Canon A1-SLR camera, which I got and used in the 1980s. Pity, I don't even know if it still works.

digital -

- Sony Cybershot P120

- Fuji F11

- Canon Powershot G3 - reworked for infrared

- Canon Powershot G6 - reworked for infrared

- Canon Powershot G6 - because I like RAW

- Panasonic DMC-TZ10, because I wanted a portable always-there superzoom camera

- Panasonic DMC-TZ22, because I wanted a backup

- and newest Panasonic DMC-TZ31, because I was hoping for a better one.

- NOT owning a weather-proof MFT camera, because there is no budget left :-(
