Hey Birgit!
Often I ask myself: What comes out of such a forum?
After having met some of the people here more than once in real life and spent time with them indoors and outdoors it became friendship to some and aquaintance to others.
Special about this place is that there are some people who developed a unique way of expressing themselves with their cameras. That is inspiration for me.
I really try hard not to spend so much time here. I got a family, friends, a job and a lot of other projects to attend to, but: you know, once you are hooked to photography or to sharing and discussing photos and equipment know how, it sometimes is hard to limit yourself.
That is how good a place this is...
Warm welcome to another member from our founding father's country
