I took my first photos with my father`s Voigtländer in about year 1972. In the year 1983 I bought my first SLR camera, Pentax MG. Soon after that I got my professional Pentax LX.

I used mostly Fuji Velvia and Kodachrome diafilms. Those who have shooted with reversal film know what I mean. Kodachrome films were sent to Kodak laboratories Lausanne Switzerland - and after several weeks the films were back and you could see if the photos were good or poor. Exposure compensation was impossible afterwards.

Today`s digiphotography is so easy and like child`s play compared to those times.

My photos are not free for commercial use but bloggers can use them if they put my name and original URL for attribution.
