  2. There is some wonderful work presented here. The photos exhibit a quality only won by experience…
    I found your site through google alerts, as I am seriously thinking about buying an E-P2
    Thanks

  5. Hi Cornelis,

    Your blog is stunning – just the kind of photography I aspire to. I noticed that you have an lx3, and Olympus ep1 and ep2. All these cameras have fallen in price since when they first appeared on the market and I’m looking for a bit of an upgrade on my ricoh gx200 and the opportunity to use some quality lenses. Do you have any recommendations on the best purchase?

    Thanks for sharing this.

    • Thank you, Stephanie,

      Glad you like my photography. I’m having fun taking the pictures. I like to use film as well as digital, and as far as recommendations goes, the digital camera in my collection I like best at the moment is the E-p2, with the electronic viewfinder. Excellent quality and the ability to use vintage manual focus lenses of just about any brand with the proper adapter. The lx3 with its beautiful Leica lens is a perfect little travel companion if you don’t want to be weighed down. The E-p1 combined with the 17mm pancake lens and optical viewfinder I mainly use for street photography.

      Regards, Cornelis

  8. Hi Cornelis-you have a real talent for capturing wonderful moments in time! Your photoblog is a real treasure! Thanks for sharing.

    I am writing about children’s spaces in NY and I was wondering if I could use one of your images (with proper credit of course) to illustrate how children play with water in NYC. The one I am thinking of is a night image of a child running thorough the columbus circle fountains. Please let me know if I have your permission to do so. If not- that is also fine. I will still love your photos:)!!!

    Thanks,
    P
