It's a piece of my life

My first contact with photography happened during my high school days. There was a photographic club which mainly worked with black and white films. They had their own darkroom in the cellar of the building near the big cellar room where we held our Friday tea club afternoons, with a lot of good music, and the class parties.

I joined the club with a friend and had fun for several years making and developing my own pictures. Sometimes we spent hours in the darkroom to create, for us, the perfect picture. When I left high school and continued intermediate technical school I changed from black and white to full colour photos, but mainly made them during trips or while being on holiday.

It wasn’t until halfway the nineties that I started to make pictures on a regular base again. During that period I wrote for a Progressive Rock magazine and visited a lot of concerts and did interviews with the artists. So it was easy to take a camera with me and make pictures during the gigs and after interviews. Photography did become a part of my daily life again.

Now in the digital age it’s even easier to make photographs. Every decent mobile contain a camera nowadays and with pages like Flickr.com for example, it has become very easy to publish your pictures.

So to combine two passions of mine, here you find the perfect soundtrack to photographs and pictures.
