Guest Bernd Banken Posted June 28, 2006 Share #1 Posted June 28, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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, dear visitor!

doubice Posted June 28, 2006 Share #8 Posted June 28, 2006 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adespen Posted April 12, 2016 Share #13 Posted April 12, 2016 Shall we start a thread on what retirement means and what people are or plan on doing? I'm 60 and starting a new job on Monday, but I'm interested in the thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted April 13, 2016 Share #14 Posted April 13, 2016 Hello Bernd & Dan, A welcome to the Forum to the both of you. Adrian has a good idea. Especially since "retirement" doesn't necessarily mean the same thing today that it did to our parents & grandparents when they were us. For many people in our parents & grandparents day retirement meant an end to a compulsory work week & an ability to spend time doing things which day to day working had not allowed. For some people today that will still be the case but for a growing number of others retirement is the next step in a series of careers with, perhaps, more latitude to pick & choose what comes next, coupled with some more time to do what you want. Whether what you want is going here & there or if it is relaxing & not worrying about quite so many things. For others, because of the uncertainties of the World's currently imperfect social/economic structure: Retirement can be an uncertain road. Just an idea or 2 for a start. Best Regards, Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
