    Sometimes I am amazed at what happens when I print an original color photo in Black & White … I used to mess around with red, blue and green filters on my lenses … now I achieve the same result by operating a digital slider … That is the beauty of photography as a hobby…

    rehearsals in Black&White

    It’s like going back in time …. an old feeling I thought that I lost … thinking in black&white instead of colours … without using a red, yellow or blue filter on the lens … the wonders of Lightroom! This afternoon I was in my bed due to a heavy migraine … so tonight I’m…

    Lochem , 1930.   I made a photo of this photo that I found in an old album from my sister ….   My mother 16 years old. She paid this official portrait photo of her first salary that she earned as a chambermaid. It was made at a local photography-shop in Lochem, the Netherlands.…
