[Wilm]

I am uncertain if this would fit here ( Swampy feel free to move it )


but

after the warm and helping words from a couple of this forum-friends Í am happy to announce that I have signed a new contract with a company !

Less time for photography, but more money again for equipment !

Thanks again to all my (virtual) friends over the world for your helping words !

Too bad we cannot earn a good living doing what we want and what we would be most productive at doing. Hope your job goes well and opens up greater opportunities in the future. I have a day job that I have not enjoyed for the last ten years. However, in a few more years I will be able to retire from that job and see what else the world has to offer.

[Sleeping Bear]

Bully for you, Wilm! :cheers: Hopefully you'll still be able to post shots of the mines?

I agree, Wayne. My day job does give me a great deal of freedom, but it's still a day job. I'm hoping that will change within the next year or so...time will tell.

[Melody]

Congratulations!!

Hey the possibilities of new equipment and less worries will make the photography so much more enjoyable when you do get the breaks for it.

Best Wishes,

Melody

[Wilm]

Thanks all again for your best wishes and very very warm words.

I have started this weeks Monday my new opportunity as a sales-manager for the western-part of Germany and I am still in cable-TV-business.


@Sleeping bear:
I´ll be in an iron-stone-mine next weeks Friday. Last workings in that mine were in 1940. For the last 60 years that mine was flooded but it is dry for now. I´ll try to shoot as much as possible.

[GaryB]

Very good news Wilm!

[JPS]

Hi Wilm ! congrats on your new job ! :righton: ...just hope this won't refrain you to post as much as before ?
:cheers:

[Wilm]

Thanks Gary, thanks Jean-Pierre !

Because I´ll be more on travel than the last 8 weeks, I´ll post many many more !

:cheers:

Wilm,

Congratulations :guzzle: It's a great feeling to get a new job - especially after being without one. I hope it gives you the opportunity for many more of your great photos while you are out and about. I had a job some years ago which took me all around the UK. My Bronica and Benbo tripod were always in the boot and I didn't rush from one appointment to the next - and it was before mobile phones had been invented to curse our lives :lol: :lol:

Thanks Keith

I must agree with you ! Modern communication like mobile-phones are a mess in a sales-mens live. But on the other hand they are much smaller than in their beginning. I could remember my first mobile-phone very well: A Nokia with more than 5 kilogramms.
I put my appointments in that way, that I can visit 2 customers per day with much sparetime between both appointments. There might be traffic-jam or even a good location for a nice shot :rolleyes:

I will try to thank you all with increasing my posted photos. I´m uncertain if there might be more mining shots, but maybe I can give you in the future a deeper view to the excavation-projects of WW2.

From my personal point of view a documentation of Wernher von Braun´s V2-rocket project might be more inportant in my region, than shooting very old mines, dated down to 1540.

:cheers: and once again,

Thanks to you all !!!

Wilm

[Linda G]

Congratulations! I had no doubt, but it's still hard to live in limbo. It would be so much more fun to be unemployed but know when the end was coming, you could plan and enjoy the time off!

In any case! Stick around! Don't let work eat you up!

[Serge]

Hey Wilm, I remember your great German actor, Kurt Jergens playing the role
of von Braun in a B/W film called "I Aim at the Stars", I was an impressionable teenager, still remeber it.

Mind you digging around in digs dating back to 1540, can't be that boring either :beerchug:

[NZDoug]

Good Luck, Wilm
heres a stmp that a Luftwaffe buddy gave to me many years ago.
Thot you might like it.
cheers

Oooops!
Wrong smiley! :)
:flame:

[Wilm]

@ Linda and Serge:
Thanks

@Doug:
I haven´t seens that stamp before :confused:
V2-Rocket production was in a concentration-camp near Nordhausen which is a 40 minutes ride for me to go there. Most of the old excavation-projects are securly closed with concrete since some years, but I will try to keep some photos of the existing remains. As soon I have my first results I will post them.

:cheers:
Wilm
