Su di me

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,

    Hi Bruce
    Thanks for the welcome and yes I am Canadian. The shot was taken at the Jr B Lacrosse Provincials in Okotoks (about 12 miles south of Calgary) this year. We had some dancers from the Tsuu T'ina Nation come out and do some traditional dances at the opening ceremonies, seeing as lacrosse was origionally a first nations game.
