Keith Haring special edition

Just another contribution to Flickr's fascinating collection of camera porn.

 

When digging up my analogue cameras for re-use, I also found my first SLR in the cupboard.

 

Like many Europeans my first "real" camera was an East German made Praktica. Not the most solid of cameras ever made and not equipped with the sharpest of lenses, it was nevertheless an excellent camera to learn photography basics.

 

After I obtained my first Nikon camera I occasionally used it when photographing rock concerts. In 1986 I had the camera autographed and tagged by Keith Haring during the opening of his exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. It is the only work by a famous visual artist I own.
