Photography has been my great passion since 1962, later adding filming to it

In 1962, I was posted to what was then Dutch New Guinea for eighteen months. At the time, I didn't have a camera and on the advice of my younger brother Loet, I bought my very first camera. It was an ADOX miniature Gevaert camera, with which I could record my experiences for the home front. My brother still had to explain to me how to use it. He was younger but knew his stuff. During that mission, I really got a taste for photography and took a lot of pictures with that camera. In the end, that deployment lasted only seven months instead of eighteen. Dutch New Guinea was then handed over to the United Nations at the end of 1962 and was to become a province of Indonesia.

When I was back in the Netherlands, I bought my first SLR camera. It was an EXA IIA. I experimented a lot with it.

experimenting with it. Especially because the lenses were interchangeable.

Later, I switched to the EXAKTA Varex IIb. That was a great camera. The first SLR camera on which everything was interchangeable such as: lenses , the prism finder you could change with a light hood finder and the frosted lenses on it were also interchangeable for other types. Still a mechanical camera where all setting had to be entered manually. But back then you didn't know any better. I photographed with that camera for a very long time and also always developed the photos myself. During that period, I also took a photography course at an American school, the Famous Artists School. That school had a branch in Europe in Amsterdam-Osdorp. But after two and a half years of training, the students received a letter from America that they were going to stop the European branch because of too few participants. Typically American, they just cut the whole course. So I couldn't finish it.

Here are the two cameras with all the accompanying accessories

Eventually I switched to a semi-automatic camera with light metering through the lens, the PETRI GX-1 super. I had two lenses with it, a 35-70 mm lens and a 75-200 mm lens. During that period, I also started filming with a supwer 8 sound film camera, the Bell & Howell FILMOSONIC MACRO 8. I shot a lot of metres of film with it, including my Antilles trip, which I filmed in its entirety. And several holidays and events, of course. Many of these can be found on this site and most of the photos on this site were taken by me.

My first digital camera was the Minolta with a standard 7.2-50.8 mm lens. That was quite a relief. No more developing films.

I currently use the NIKON D7000 with an 18-105mm lens and a 55-300mm lens. Totally satisfied with this camera you can shoot and film well with it.
