1954-1964: I worked for a professional photographer (Wim van Dijk), where I learned the art. During my studies I discovered the landscape. What it makes especially interesting is the interaction between natural processes and human activity. Both the Dutch “polder”landscapes and the mountainous regions in Italy (Tuscany, Umbria, Sicily) give evidence of man’s awareness of his being part of nature. This is how ecosystems develop, where everything finds its own slot. Not man is the measure of all things. The result of his activities is the one thing visible. The tension in the photos is a refelexion of the unstable balance in nature, which leads to changes which are counterbalanced by the ecosystem. The comparison of different landscapes brings home the unique character of each landscape. There is no essential distinction between landscape photography and other types of photography. Man himself is a landscape, subject to every change in time and moment of balance. Many photos are made for the world of theater and music. Publications: Colofon Gallery Cisart, Alkmaar, 1984.

My favorite camera for landscapes is the Pentax 67 .,unique for the 6*7 format and the easy handling. Also is for me the Pentax K1 an interesting camera.Especially the “pixel shift system” gives many new possibilities in photographing landscapes. I use this camera also for taking theatrefotos. The Leica M9 is the camera for street- and travelphotography. The clear finder and the fantastic glasses are for me the most important property. For streetphotography I also use the Fuji X100T |
