I was born in 1946 in Hamburg and have lived here ever since. It all started with a borrowed KODAK, then an AGFA CLACK, followed by a few others I can’t remember, and then a RICOH KR 10 SUPER SLR, a great camera. After a few years, I realized that the large bag and the weight of all the equipment bothered me. As a second camera, I got a SAMSUNG SLIM ZOOM 145S. My digital journey began with a SONY DSC W 5 and now, for several years, with my SONY DSC W 70. It is small and handy – worn on the belt or even in the jacket pocket – inconspicuous to carry. What it can’t do, I don’t need. But what it can do, I make full use of – it produces decent images, even when enlarged. My real hobby, however, is ship modeling. In December 2010, my good W 70 broke down and I got a Sony DSC W 380. I actually preferred to photograph with the W 70 in many situations, especially because the built-in viewfinder was a big advantage. It’s a pity that something like that no longer exists (in this size).
