Gerard Mengerink (Neede, Netherlands, 1956), ICT consultant and amateur photographer.

I started photography as a kid (mid 60's), took it to the mid 70’s as a hobby, worked for a few years as a family and industrial photographer, then switched to ICT. Restarted photography as a hobby when digital SLR’s began to deliver good quality.

Anout my profession: After several years in system development, project management and ICT management, I went back to my prime skills, and the ones I like best: system development, implementation and consultancy related to ERP software.
