The smallest boy to the left is my father, three years old at the time. My grandfather owned a Zeiss Ikonta bellowcamera which he took a lot of nice pictures with. My father later also photographed a lot and developed his own film. When I was a boy we had a darkroom in the basement. Now I use the camera as often as I can. I use old cameras and lenses which I combine with digital techniques.

My daughter is not old enough to stand behind the camera yet, but she very interested in the camera and is a good little model with a pretty smile ;)

I can’t say I’m an expert on the history of photography myself, but I have an interest and have studied arthistory as a student, which included some photography. Get inspiration from the Internet:
