I took up photography as a serious hobby (darkroom, multiple 35mm bodies, etcetera) in 1996. I love the combination of art and science that photography gives, and I really regret I cannot spend more time on this hobby.

Yashica/Contax

I maintain the Yashica/Contax SLR Digest, a mailing list for Yashica and Contax owners. Of course, a Yashica SLR homepage was in dire need as well :-). Recently, I took over Steve Cary's Contax SLR pages, so you can find them here as well.

Especially Yashica cameras are often too expensive to repair. I therefore have started a new resource on the repair of Yashica/Contax cameras.

Technique

• Out of frustration about Pink Casts On Tmax Films questions, I started the rec.photo.darkroom FAQ
• I designed an extensive set of forms that allows me to keep notes about everything that's worth writing down. It helps me to avoid mistakes and make progress.
• My Photography Bookshelf.
• Check out Linux in the Darkroom.
• Have fun, go LF and build your own.
• Or go 21st century, go digital.

Portfolio

Finally, the first batch of images is back. A very first version of my portfolio is on-line now, I hope to make it better very soon.
