"I love pinhole photography and cameras, for its basic simplicity and for being able to make images without having to contemplate taking out a bank loan. I'm an amateur photographer, trying not to fall into the digital abyss”."

Me: pinhole photography & cameras, alternate photographic procedures, wooden LF cameras, my family, Jesus, wood working, Isaac Asimov, whiskey, listening to my vinyl records.

My goal: using a handmade camera with a handmade lens, using handmade negatives and photo paper - the ultimate analogue experience.
(Just because I can)

Bert from Holland "Have fun and catch that light beam!" ~ my website ~
Happy to be back in this great community after an absence of over 3 years due to personal strive (both parents died, Lyme decease and burn out). My thanks for all kind messages from everyone and my apologies for not responding properly, but I wasn't up to it. But I'm back and happy to be so. I'm even picking up photography again after almost 4 years. Sincerely, Bert
