Best wishes from a white Holland
Hello Colleages,
Ever heard of Gargantua, my second love? According to the famous fairytale by François Rabelais he was the biggest giant who ever lived(!). I am feeling today's photography is so comprehensive that you have to be a true giant to cover it all. Living in Haarlem (near Amsterdam) and being a pensioner I have nice surrounings for taking pictures and lots of time to spend on my favorites: B/W, rangefinders and a big wet darkroom. I use Leica IIIc, Zeiss-Ikon ZM, Bessa R2, Bronica SQ-B, Rolleiflex TLR and Heiland Splitgrade. I wish you a merry Christmas and a productive 2010. Best regards, Gargantua (also known as WillemK).

You have a really nice selection of gear enjoy using it.
Have a wonderful Christmas I hope the translation is correct ; "Vrolijk Kerstfeest en een Gelukkig Nieuwjaar! " or if you prefer "Zalig Kerstfeast" (Which I assume to be Merry Christmas)

Welcome to FADU Willem from one pensioner to another. We have plenty of time to do as we like each day but maybe not as many days left as we would like.
I always like to be cheerful at Christmas : Mike |
