The Disclaimer:
I’m not a photographer. It’s just a hobby. I started taking photos for my blog. Before blogging, I didn’t use my digicam much.
My Flickr motto is Document your life. I’m taking snapshots as I go along.
My cams:
I’m currently using a Nikon Coolpix 7900, a Canon Ixus 900 TI and I recently added a DSLR, a Canon 40D. I like viewing my photos with Slickr (a Flickr screensaver). Update: On 12 March 2010 I purchased a Canon Powershot S90 as my Ixus 900 TI is overexposing every shot. The S90 is lots of fun.
If you don’t like my photos, that’s ok. If you like my photos, even better. But please do list me as your source.
Why is my blog called Chiperoni? And who’s hiding behind the nickname Nchenga?
Chiperoni is a kind of drizzle rain in the Shire Highlands. Nchenga or mchenga means “sand” in Chichewa. Shortly before I set up my new blog, I heard a TV talk show in Blantyre, where people were complaining about bad TV reception. One lady called the show to say “All I can see is nchenga nchenga”. i.e. it means something like “blurry image”…

[...] Dolly Dolly, das bloggende Schaf, war einmal mehr meine Geheimwaffe. Und offenbar ist sie einiges bekannter, als ich gedacht hatte. Sogar Sandra sprach mich auf sie an. Weitere Begegnungen: [...]
