Born in Tilburg, studied economics (1965-1972) at Tilburg University, worked mainly at the Ministry of Economic Affairs in The Hague till early retirement in 2006. Then I got more time for digital photography.
My first digital camera was a Minolta Dimage Z1 (2004-2008). When I switched to a Canon EOS 400D early in 2008, I decided to make a photo book of my 200 best Minolta-photos. You can find that book at www.lulu.com/content/1933292. You can also see and purchase my (more recent) photos at www.oypo.nl/fotobeer (and select an album you want to see).
