Name: Henning Wulff

Age: 52
Married for 27 years, two children, one who recently moved out to live with
his girlfriend, the other who might never move out.

Moved to northern Alberta, Canada from Germany (north of Hamburg, therefore
Danish first name) when I was 6. Over the years slowly headed south and
west and thawed out. Now live in Vancouver, BC.

Was working on my Master's in Physics (Low temperature) when it dawned on
me that I wanted to deal with a broader range of topics.

Profession A: Architect, with own firm here in Vancouver. Also do
specialized consulting and design work for other architects and developers.

Profession B: Architectural Photographer since I graduated from
Architectural School and couldn't find a job within a reasonable timeframe.

Photos published variously in all sorts of places, mostly trade magazines
and bochures, but also things like stamps and billboards.

Profession C: Mac consultant/troubleshooter/trainer dealing mostly with
architectural offices and CAD/Imaging software.

Present Leica equipment:

2-M6's
1-M4
15/8 Hologon
21/3.4 SA
21/2.8 Elmarit (still trying to sell it... - anybody out there?)
21/2.8 Elmarit ASPH.
35/2 late
35/1.4 ASPH
50/1
90/2.8 TE thin
90/2 recent
135/4 T-Elmar

An extra 16mm Contax finder to use with the Hologon
About 5 semi-broken 21mm finders

A selection of about 50 Leica filters of all sizes; a legacy of previously
owned lenses. By now I have learned not to get rid of spare filters, caps,
lens hoods etc.

Have used Leicas since about 1960, and have used most M items made, and a
lot of LTM items.

5 Nikons with about 25 lenses
2 Konicas with about 5 lenses (a bit of sentiment here, as Konicas used to
be my main SLR system)
Rollei 35S
Mamiya 645 system with a lot of stuff
Hasselblad SWC
Noblex 150U
Mamiya 6 system
Enough Sinar stuff to make 3 cameras at any one time; lots of stuff; lots
of lenses.
Ikeda 4x5 wood field
2-Cambo Wide's with a number of lenses (waiting for 35mm Apo-Grandagon)
7 Gitzo's, up to #5 Geant
Focomat Ic color with Focotar
Pradovit  CA 2500 with 3 lenses
Lots of other stuff

Scariest moment photographically: finding that gangplank is giving way
between bridge tower and crane tower at 100m up. (See 4x5 bridge photo on
web site, which was shot from motor end of crane boom 150m up with a
Cambo).

Other interests: yes.

Off to Nepal, Singapore and Malaysia for the next month, so this is it for
a while.
