Learned a lot; experienced a lot; have had lots of fun; suffered little, but intense; never at a loss for giving good advice; now worn out and no longer interested in big emotions, stimulations and excitement; I travel a lot through the virtual world by PC and TV.
Depending on a wheelchair as a prematurely retired pensioner, real travel is not so simple. Vacation Package does not work! Individual travel including a guide, I can not afford it.
After over 35 years break I returned to photography. Darkrooms are omitted this very day, but fotowork on the PC becomes pleasurable indeed. Unfortunately, with the wheelchair the shooting position is not always optimal to choose, but I try.
Criticism of the photos is allowed, preferably with suggestions on how to do better. But please, no references to priceless equipment, more than the kit lens, a used telephoto zoom of the lower price range and some quality M42 bargains on eBay are not there. I am glad that I now own some professional stuff like tripod, repro stand, macro equipment, remote control, flashes and what may be needful and can be bargained for cheap on Ebay. Of course I still have dreams, such as a 500 mm or longer-range f: 2.8 telephoto zoom, a valued 8 - 16 mm wide-angle or full format DSLR instead of crop format, but it will probably remain dreams.

"If pictures are good, it's the photographers glory; if they are bad, blame the camera."

But seriously - first of all my photos must please me, if they please others - beautiful. If I would be paid for it, it would be different. In that case I had to learn, what the taste of the majority of the population would be.
