my very first shots

when i was just nine years old i asked my mother to explain the camera
to me so i could document the animals in our neighbourhood with my best friend hans.
and she did.

she told me that i have to take care of three things which are the aperture,
the exposure time and the focus.
and i did.

what i didn't take care of, was something which is called screenlayout.
but after showing the photos to her she did.

so here are the first shots i ever took, before the screen layout lesson
and it's obvious, that i had to learn a lot during the next years...
