My father was a passionate hobby photographer with his own dark room in the cellar.
He gave me my first camera, a Kodak Instamatic 155X. This was - as far as I remember - on the occasion of my First Holy Communion.
Later I won a no-name autofocus camera which was a bit better than the Instamatic.
When this autofocus camera did not meet my expectations any longer, again it was my father who gave me a new camera as an Xmas present: I am not quite sure about the exact name of the model, but I think it was the Canon Prima Zoom, my first ever Canon camera. I kept this camera for quite a while and took decent photos with it.
Shortly before our Malta holidays in 1999 the camera did not work anymore. Having it repaired would have been almost more expensive than buying a new camera. Thus Martin and I bought the Canon EOS500N.
Before our Teneriffa holiday in 2003 we bought a zoom lens.
Digital photography had become interesting for us, too. Thus we started with a Minolta Dimage ??. We were not satisfied with this camera, so after a while we came back to Canon and bought the PowerShot A80 which is still in use.
Last year the last camera in a long row was bought: The Canon EOS350D - my little darling! ;-)
Now Martin has inherited the EOS350D because since May 2008 I have been the proud owner of a Canon EOS450D.

Lunalunita says:
"Danke sehr fuer das liebe Statement zu mir und meiner Person. Das mit der lieben Freundin gebe ich gerne an Dich zurueck. Auch deine Fotos verbergen die eine oder andere Ueberraschung fuer mich. Beib so wie Du bist und fotografiere fleissig weiter ... ;o) besonders deine Kochfotos haben es mir angetan, sehr inspirierend ...
Freut mich auch sehr, dass dir meine Fotos deiner Lieblingsinsel so gut gefallen, wenn ich auch nicht viel zeigen kann -- ausser vielleicht ueber Palma -- es bereitet mir einfach Freude, die Schoenheit dieser Stadt und Insel festzuhalten.

"Britta - she is one of my first Contacts and now a Friend. You come over to me as a very loving and kind person anxious to help in all kinds of ways, not less as my translator where I lack your language. I envy those who are close enough to partake of the delicious looking dishes which you cook. I am only sorry that we have not yet met, but maybe one day!
Thank you for being you, and for your excellent photography."29th July, 2008

"I am truly surprised there are not more testimonials for Britta's work... Her images are always thought provoking and a pleasure to view.
Britta, I am very thankful for the wonderfully kind comments you make on my images. You are a wonderful friend to have on Flickr..."27th March, 2008

Jeff Clow says:
"Britta is a talented photographer - and that is readily apparent by just checking out her latest postings on Flickr. She has a real sense of style, color and composition.
But what you might not know about this classy lady is that she is also a kind and considerate friend to hundreds of other Flickr photographers. She is always willing to comment and praise other's works here, and she is a Flickr leader by displaying such generosity on a regular basis.
We are lucky to have her here at this magical site, and I'm pleased to be able to call her a friend..."27th December, 2006
