alexandre_goy Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Paris, France, with only short intermissions for the last 36.5 years. Digital somehow made me return to Leica M. A (much-) used M2 is my main cam, and a nice looking M6 Ti is on its way. Wish I could have more free time to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart_richardson Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 One of the things I liked about Sweden is that many of the people I met assumed I was swedish, even though I am tiny (5'5") and look like my Scottish blood. I think they really tend to assume that everyone there is Swedish, even if they don't necessarily look Swedish. This may sound strange to some people, but after living so long in Japan and Russia, it is nice to feel like people don't automatically assume you are an outsider. One of the US and Canada's greatest redeeming qualities is that we assume that whomever we see is either US or Canadian. Even if they don't speak English or French, we just assume they are recent immigrants. Whereas even though I speak almost fluent Russian I was never regarded as being anything but a guest there. Japan is even worse in this regard. But anyway, just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_sonnleitner1 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Born and raised in the Wachau region of Austria (where the best white wines in this country, and possibly, all of Europe, are made...).Moved to Vienna at the age of 18, have been living there ever since, except for one year abroad in Santa Barbara, CA, when I was an exchange student at UCSB at the age of 24. Vienna is a great place when it comes to quality of life - good air, a lot of greenery, great public transport system, very safe, etc. - if only it were not so boring! There's nothing going on here at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_kaplan1 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I was born in New Bedford, Massachusettes 63 years ago, moved to North Miami in 1956 just shy of turning 14. For the next few years I drifted back and forth between my mom in N. Miami and my dad in New Bedford, but after getting married I settled in N. Miami, buying this house in 1967. Now I can't leave because I know where everything is in the darkroom, even in the dark, and the house is paid for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmwhee Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 My family and I moved to Colorado Springs from Tulsa, Oklahoma nine years ago. Two sons live at home, two sons away from home. Recently I received a digital camera, so I move back and forth between darkroom and computer. I have to say I like not having to spot skies in digital images; at the same time, I took my most recent picture--last evening--with a film camera. The digital camera lay at home on the floor underneath the coffee table. Born in 1951. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summitar Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Born on the other side of the Niagara River from WJ Gibson 69 (gasp!) years ago, spent 22 years as an US Air Force gypsy, and 24 years as a Boeing nerd, now living in the Seattle, Washington area for the past 28 years. As a former professional meteorologist, I claim that Seattle has world's nicest summers offset by very dark, but mild, winters. I have three Leica LTMs sooned to be joined by an M3. I seem to be cursed by an obsession to possess every 35 mm camera ever mentioned by Ivor Matanle. My other favorite Englishman is Cambridge biologist Richard Dawkins (The Selfish Gene) who gives me hope that someday we in the US can unbuckle the bible belt which slid up to have a death grip around our neck. Best regards to all, and Happy Birthday, WJ! Keep those photos from the Niagara frontier coming. I sometimes dream of returning permanently to the region but then I remember the New York taxes and the Buffalo winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
