Hello everyone,
My first name is Peter. I live in the Netherlands and I haven't spend much time here lately. Nevertheless, I am "Fuji only" (x-pro1 with 18/35/60mm lenses, X20). Before that, I was dedicated to Nikon (D200, N8008/F801, and others). My first digital camera was the Fuji Finepix 4700 (I am still impressed by the quality of this camera). I wasn't really interested in photography until twenty-something. Before that I was interested in sports, sports, sports and drawing/painting. When I got married and learned a bit about developing film, I gradually became more interested.
The introduction of the digital darkroom accelerated interest (yes, I am a bit of a geek). Nevertheless, I remained a vacation-shooter until I had to stop with diving and basketball last year. The time had come to take photography more seriously. I signed up for fujirumors, fell in love with the fuji x10, became aware of fujixspot and the rest is history.
I like to capture the beauty of mother nature although I do realize that architecture, fashion, documentary, urbex and street photography are more important to future generations. When I started to participate at SC and here, I started to experiment with B/W and other subjects than nature. And it's fun. I wish I was as good at that as some photographers around here.
I am thinking about a website and am notorious in switching photo-upload-sites. So don’t be surprised if you can’t see photos anymore because I switched. I dumped Flickr because I had to restore links all the time. Wasn’t happy about how photobucket handled colors. Now working with Zenfolio.
Although I like the x-pro1 very much, I do miss the SLR handling. I’ll resist the temptation to buy a D800 for now, but not sure for how long. That depends on my wife, who has been very good in containing GAS. haha.
With respect to work, I’ve been in the business world for quite some time now. I’ve always been fascinated by organizations and leadership: what makes one organization successful while another fails. It is sad that to see that numbers and procedures have become the ultimate goal in so many organisations today (what about a 'power to the professional' movement?). Lately, I tried to learn about how our brains work and drive our behavior. A fascinating world!
Looking forward to learning from y’all and looking at the many beautiful photos. Hopefully this site becomes as popular as SC.
