| This picture was shot by my wife Dorota in summer 2001.
It was taken with the EF 100mm 1/2.0 USM on the EOS IX close to sunset. In early summer 2001, Dorota wanted to see me without beard and I was not able to make her change her mind. So I razed my beard during the first days of June, and the result was so amazing for her that she did not allow me to wear a beard again. |

(No, that person down there is NOT my father....) |
This is a older picture of me. It was taken in October 2000 by Karina, when I carryed my camera to Kefenrod for a visit. Since summer 2000 I again weared a beard (Karina really intended to view me with a beard), it had the advantage, that I did not need to shape so often.

This is a picture of me without beard. It was
taken in february 1998 by Holger Schneider, when I had my first visit
in Mannheim for at least five years.
Since November 1997 I wear contact lenses and I am quite satisfied with them. |
| That's the same guy, but with beard and
glasses. The beard I shaved in spring 1997. Comment of my collegues:
"Are you copiing Scharping??" (Scharping was in 1994
cancelor candidate of the SPD, wearing a beard. In 1995, after having
lost the election for the Bundestag in 1994, he shaved his beard)
The difference was quite good to observe, and people say, that I got 20 years younger by having shaved my beard. But a beard has some advantages: You do not need to shave all day, an it is a good isolation for the neck in winter. The picture was taken in january 1996 by my ex-girl friend Sabine in the forest between Unterreichenbach and Rabenstein. |

Mhm, and so I looked in spring 1997 after having shaped my beard,
with my stone old panorama glasses and naked face.
