Default Introduction of myelf

Hi to everybody out there!
After dropping into this new forum few days ago I've forgotten to introduce myself, sorry for this.
My name is Bernd, I'm living near Dusseldorf/Rhine I'm taking photographs since the age of 13. I'm now 58, next year I go into retirement.
35 years ago my first real slr was a Nikon F Photomic, fitted with a Nikkor 50/f2 and a Soligor 28/2,8. Today I know the expression Street Photography but at that time it was for me just like walking around and catching moments.

After a big break I started again this spring with street/people always afraid that I have lost this 'eye'.
If you like, pls. look here my old pics of a young guy which is now much older but not wiser ;-

Thanks
Bernd

welcome to the Forum, but I suppose we are all "new" here anyway. I just browsed your photo link, and I like the pictures very much.

Wenn's dich tröstet - ich wahrscheinlich bis 67. Und dann muss man auch erst mal gucken, ob die Rente reicht.

Deshalb jetzt auch Werbung im Leica Forum

danke andi,

tröstet mich aber nicht.
zum verständnis: erst glaubte ich mit 60 geht´s,
dann erhöhten sie auf 61,5
und nach der letzten reform werden´s bei mir 64.

hätte gerne mehr zeit, meinen hobbies nachzugehen.
und die rente wird schon irgendwie reichen - andy warhol
gibt ja auch seine moneten her ...

schönen gruß - mischa

Tim,

A simple translation - Mischa and Andreas are reacting to Bernd’s bragging that he’s planning to retire at 59. Andreas is hoping for retirement at 67, Mischa planned for 60, than added a few months to 61.5, but by the latest calculation it might not happen till he’s 64.

It looks like I will be following in Mischa’s footsteps……

All the best,

Jan

Well, given that you are now a member of the Leica forum, THAT's an easy decision to make... buy Leica stuff!
