A new publishing company

First, only an idea, now a fact. I registered a trade: a (small) publishing house for German and Japanese publications. The first product is a photo calendar 2009 for Frankfurt and Environment in Japanese-German, with holidays in Japan and Germany, graphically highlighted. A new internet site with an online shop was arranged, including photos (so-called royalty-free images).

Robust – Kamera Panasonic FZ18

Should I blame the new tripod? No, it was my fault.  The quick-plate was not exactly setup and the camera crashed  on the stone terrace. Deep abrasions of zoom-lens assembly show the force of impact. It seems however, that this collapse did not damage the camera.  But I was not sure whether the exposure measurement completely is in order. So I had a good justification for replacement. The new Fujifilm S100SF was the choice, the family bought it in Japan, since in Germany it was difficult to obtain. The Panasonic FZ18 will be in use by my son Günter.
