Hello,
I'm an amateur photographer since 2001. I'm living at "De Veluwe" in The Netherlands. I prefer to practice analogue photography like using old, manual cameras and lenses, developing film in homebrew Caffenol, building wooden pinhole cameras, making paper negatives and printing with historical processes (alt-photo). So that's what this website is all about.
Enjoy!

Update June 2nd, 2020: I've started a separate page about "Photogenic Drawing, Salt printing and the Calotype procecesses", the inventions of William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1977).

creative work depends on equipment alone ..." (Ansel Adams in his book "The Camera"

"... I enjoy vintage cameras as “users,” rather than imprisoning them in some display case"
"... It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight ..."
