I bought my first camera, the
Minolta XG1, as a teenager and I can remember heading off with my brand new toy
to the nearby animal park to take some photos of Przewalski horses. I was
pretty soon into nature photography, mainly flora, but also landscapes and macro.
Together with my husband, I switched to Nikon and we explored the world of
black & white photography, doing our own film processing and fine prints.
We did commercial work from time to time, using professional middle format cameras
and studio flashes and showed the end result at some exhibitions. Nowadays,
more than two and a half decades later, I am also exploring the world of
digital photography with a Nikon D700.
