Thanks for stopping by my Flickr page! I'm an eclectic photographer who enjoys capturing just about everything the world has to offer, using all kinds of cameras—including a few that your grandparents may have used.

Somewhere along the way I was bitten by the G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) bug. I've collected a variety of vintage film cameras from the 1940s through the 1970s, some of which found their way into my creative process.

My love (or addiction! :) to photography began in the Netherlands and, as you've probably noticed, is happily continuing here in Canada.

I studied Graphic Arts in Eindhoven, the Netherlands (Reproduktie Teken Opleiding), and spent only around 40 years enjoying/using/experimenting with 35mm and 120 film. My journey started when I was around 12 with a humble Beirette from the former East Germany and an even cheaper Russian Zenit. From there I graduated to some wonderful machines: the Nikkormat FT2, the Zenza Bronica SQ-A, the Nikon F3HP... and, well... the collection kept growing.

This quote by Ansel Adams hits it home for me “There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.”
