I am a hobby photographer. In my 20s, I had my own black-and-white lab where I developed film and pictures. I set it up in my bathroom and took it down when I was done. For many years I did not have or take the time to take pictures. In recent years, with the advent of digital SLR cameras and the possibility to manipulate images, print them, or make posters to get them printed in a shop, I became interested again. I now work with three cameras. The best is a Canon 5D Mark II. I currently use it with an EF 70-200 mm 1:2.8 L IS II USM lens and with an EF 16-35 mm 1:2.8 L IS II USM lens My second camera is a Canon Rebel XT (with a 70-300 mm ET 65B diffractive optics lens, which is very light weight compared to the other two). The third camera I always have in my pocket: An Olympus Stylus 1030 SW. It has a steel case and is waterproof - indistructible. On this page I present a selection of photographs, some shot with my better equipment, others just on the spot to capture an instant of life.
