Capacity... let's stop this

My life could be interesting so far: Born in Winterthur / Kanton Zurich and living there until 1987, then 2 1/2 years in Sarnen in the Swiss Alps, moved into Thurgau to Uttwil on the lake of Constance in 1990, since 1997 to Güttingen, only two villages away, where we could find a wounderful house! 

I just have finished school with the Matura (Kantonsschule Romanshorn) and work now as a computer supporter with SellByTel in Tägerwilen (CH), first at the sunrise IT and Nokia projects, now in the hardware support ("Viatec") to earn some money for my studies, for my car and my (quite expensive) hobbies photography, driving, sports etc. After the hot period of mid-summer we have a lot of new staff now and so the number of calls declined, but the next LIDL sale is coming...

In my closer future I want to spend some time (as long as I have sufficient $$$) in Australia, exploring the red continent and pushing my abilities in photography to the limits. I hope to start my journey in mid-january to stay there at least three months as it doesn't make sense to hustle through Australia and see nothing but the road in front of the car.

Photography is clearly in the top position of my hobbies.. While I have my colour pictures normally developed, I regularly handle my black and white films all by myself when I shut firmly the door of the dark room to enlarge nice prints. The inspiring silence of the chemical baths is the right contrast to the communicative portrait photography I'm doing principally in b/w.

Moreover I love playing tennis, but not really succesful, and I try to watch all the important tournaments. Serve and Volley is the best thing I've ever seen, but even if it looks great on TV, it's difficult to do it myself. Besides, I like all kinds of motor sport, Volleyball and table tennis. 

Cars are another hobby, but the own four wheels are still missing. So you have to try anything that is near you...!

A growing, eating and barking hobby is our Vizsla Lurkó, who develops his hunting instinct as fast as he gros. I hope not to offer here some roast beef in the future. ... But let's have a look at him: To Lurkó
