[EMAIL PROTECTED] and all you beloved german (english, french, etc. pp.) haters, well, since i'm german, it doesn't really seem to be my job to notify you that this is a photography-related mailing list. i neither mind whether you like what i am or not, nor am i interested in what you are - besides a nikon photographer. but i'd really prefer to keep this place free of any politics in general, and especially FREE OF RACISM. so whenever you feel the need to call somebody a nazi, or anybody anything, feel free to e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] greetings from berlin/germany, kind regards andreas puefke, photojournalist # friedrich-wilhelm-str. 8 # d-12099 berlin, germany # # phone +49 30 7521415 # phone +49 177 7521415 # fax +49 30 75705620 # leo +49 30 75705621 # # http://www.puefke.net
