During my military service I worked as a corporate journalist and photographer. There I learned the technique of photography. That was in the days of the analog camera. After my military service, I continued makeing pictures. Now more as a documentary photographer. I made reports in Poland, the Baltic States and the Ukraine. It was the former Eastern bloc countries that had just ‘opened up’. I visited De Krim, Odessa but also the infamous KGB prison in Vilnius. Back in Amsterdam I had several exhibitions after which she slowly faded into oblivion. Now, 30 years later, I have digitized my archive and reprinted a selection of these photos.
