Addicted to photography ever since my early teens, I discovered the fascination of the darkroom in my art school years. Started out as a freelance photographer working for Dutch magazines and newspapers such as Nieuwe Revu, Panorama, Volkskrant, Sport International. Opened the first photo gallery in Eindhoven in the early eighties of the last century. Moved on to become an (art-music) journalist, writer and copywriter.... but back to my old love again, living partly in Norway and the south of France..
