I tried out different technics with my camera and this is such a experiment. I called the photo "Brothers In Arms". You can see my Zippo lighter and three different kind of ammo in the background. Every American and German soldier know the Zippo lighter , the .223 Remington(5.56 x 45 mm NATO), .308 Winchester(7.62 × 51 mm NATO) and the .50 Browning Machine Gun(12.7 × 99 mm NATO). The US Army use these things and also the German army, the Bundeswehr. Mauser*girl gave me some advice and I will change the pic with Photoshop in the next time.

My dad is very sick since a long time, on 24th December he came into the hospital and he had a seriously pneumonia. Some years ago when he still was in the military, the doctors diagnose lung cancer and they removed one lung. Therefore is a pneumonia very dangerous for him and we was very worried about my dad. We went every day several times to the hospital and in particular on the Christmas days. In the moment he feels a little better. I used very often my dads Mercedes, because I have some problems with my Golf and in addition I have no snow tires. On 29th December I washed the car, relax a little at the river and took these photo.

I think everybody remember the story with the slipped disc in my back and it was still painful in the last weeks. On 4th January I have a appointment in the Endo hospital in Hamburg and I have to stay there for 3 or 4 days. The doctors will check out everything in my back and decide about an operation. When they make the surgery, certainly in the end of January and then I have to stay there for some weeks.

Usually you could watch my photos in full view when you click on the pics, but it didn't work and I don't know why...
