I've been taking photographs for at least 50 years (That makes me about 60) . I think what got me started was a fascination for cameras , the idea that this elaborate machine could record what I see and even what I feel to some degree .

I am still fascinated with the cameras of my youth and I have quite a few old cameras (10 different models of the Kodak Retina for example) and I still have a love for Hasselblads . The change to auto-focus and now digital has been stressful .

I used to shoot mainly architucture and landscapes until a friend looking at my vacation photos asked if I never saw any people on my vacation . I had to admit that I saw them alright but only as something in the way of the shot I wanted . Since then I have been photographing people more , especially children . I still have no good photos of boys (why won't they pose like girls will ?) except doing sports . I also like things that move fast like racing cars , horses , kids on bikes .

My latest acquisition is a Nikon D70 (partly because I've always used Nikon and all those lenses fit and work) , and I still also use a Nikon 401s and a "point and shoot" Minox 35 mm . I do occasionally get out the Hasselblads just for fun .

The photo at left was taken by my good friend Gerrit Verstraete while we were wandering around Little Qualicum Falls in British Columbia .

Hello Bruce,
Thanks for the friend request, be happy too. I must admit, you have some amazing photos of the children, very wonderfully done.I will be seeing my daughters next week, I miss them terribly. Hopefully I will have some photo image winners to post.

Hi Bruce this is a bit delayed, but better late then never. Thanks for the post and compliments they are greatly appreciated. As for London making people crazy, I think you're right. Take care and happy shooting.

Unfortunally it is not my style to change original shots so this one is the first and the last PP modified picture.
I salute you,
Emi
