At the end of the seventies in the last century I followed a course in Photography. I learned the whole lot,from a shot to the last step in the dark room. Because of this course I learned to have a different look at the world around me. Recently I retrieved these photo's from my early days as a photographer. I took these photo's with a Praktica B100 an East German camera brand. And as you can notice, all the handling of the chemicals was not always successful. I love photo's, I love the smell of fixation, and I love the not always perfect end-results. But I'm very happy with the digital photography.
I have added some black and white pictures of the decline of the textile industry in the region Twente. I made these pictures early 80's of the past century.
