Welcome to my homepage

I'm currently PostDoc at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, USA. To find me try one of those ways.

Since there is sometimes confusion, I am the physicist Volker Braun, and not the east german writer. And there is also another high-energy physicist V. M. Braun, which i am also not.

Photos

Digital is the way to go - no chemicals and instant review. My first camera was Kodak's DC215. Quite a beast, without any focussing. The next generation was the Canon Powershot S40, which produces quite reasonable results. Then I took the step to a Canon 300D digital SLR. The photos are nicer, although I do miss the portability of a P&S camera. Today I am using a Canon 20D.
