*for 13 things*

1. it's going to be hard to come up with 13 points that don't relate to photography, you probably guessed by now that photography is my sole passion.

2. my parents and grandmother wanted my name to be Markus, but the nurse who wrote the birth certificate screwed up and typed the names in the wrong order: Christian Markus
so Markus is officially my middle name.

3. I'm working in the same industry (graphic design, prepress) since 20 years (man, am I getting old or what?). I have switched jobs though - first I was a typesetter (the real graphic designers!), then I did graphic design and web design, now I work as a photo retoucher in a big advertising agency.

4. My cats name is "Kaze" (japanese for wind, she's crazy like that)

5. I'm told I'm a decent poet and love Charles Bukowski's work

6. I have accute GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), but I have been a good boy and cut down to 7 or so cameras...

7. my birthsign is Libra and I believe in it (Tarot too, speaking of which - lemme check my card of the day)

8. in my former life I was a cook & healer

9. I'm originally from Germany, but moved to the US in 2002

10. my entry date into the US is 02-02-2002

11. I met my wife on the internet and we're married since 5 years (thanks to match.com)

12. I'm a Mac and a geek

13. I'm witty and "quick on my feet" as my wife would say

hey, this took only 15 minutes and was pretty easy ;)

The lit bulb is the one screwed to the lamp.
