On 4th October I got a great phone call. Nearly two months ago I offered my photo "German Tornado" to the biggest German newspaper Bildzeitung and I have thought they aren't interested. Here can you see the photos in my blog. The newspaper assistant told me, perhaps they will use my photo and I get money for it.
On Friday 5th October, by the way it's Jen's birthday, I bought the newspaper and I saw my photo. You can see my photo in about 4 million newspapers in whole Germany! 
Here can you see the article, my first sold photo.
I got 500,- Euro(about US$630) for the photo and 50 percent from the following receipts, when the newspaper sell the photo to other newspapers. That made my day and now I'm very happy.
Usually I should save the money, but I think I will fulfill a desire for me and buy a digital SLR camera. The Canon EOS 300D was always my favorite, but Canon not sell the camera anymore and I wouldn't buy a second-hand camera without manufacturer guaranty. Now is the Canon EOS 350D(8 megapixel) or Canon EOS 400D(10 megapixel) my favorite.
Since 9th October is these post in my drafts and now I submit it. I was depressed and therefore has nobody heard from me, Jen was the only friend who got a email because she had birthday. Jen told me again and again I should try to sell one of my photos and I think it's a big chance that it happened on her birthday.
On Friday the 3rd November I got the new Canon EOS400D with the mail and it's really a great camera. Unfortunately I couldn't take many photos yet, because the weather is very bad in the moment. 
Here can you see my new SLR camera. :)
