The picture on the left is from oktober 2011 when I met Peter Lindbergh in Antwerp at the exhibition in the Museum of Photography (Photo by Bart Vercammen). Lindbergh is a world-famous fashionphotographer who worked with all the supermodels, but he remained a very very friendly person without any hint of stardom.

For those interested in PHOTOGRAPHY I have a survey of the HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY with an overview from Aristotle to Kodak, followed by more detailed facts on important persons and a timeline.

You also find some basics on the TECHNIQUES IN PHOTOGRAPHY , like:
• discussing film, development, sensitivity, diaphragm
• the technical camera and the pinhole camera

My hobby is COLLECTING PHOTOCAMERAS and so you find here :

• How to use an old 620 camera with 120 film?
• a list of my Kodak cameras + a table with all the Retina and Retinette cameras.
• the history of Rollei, Voigtländer, Zeiss-Ikon.


I have a special chapter on STEREO-PHOTOGRAPHY.

Besides this I also collect 'Cartes de Visite' (CDV's) and other old photographs

In the PHOTOGALLERY you see a small selection of photos that I made.

And there are of course some photos of my grandchildren Ilias (23-03-2003) en Jonas (26-05-2005)

Furthermore there are travel reports + lots of photos from trekkings.
• around the Annapurna in Nepal
• to the vulcan Piton de la Fournaise in La Réunion
• around the Beara peninsula in Ireland.

Currently I am working at the Micro CT Scan research group of the University of Antwerp (Belgium).
