About the pictures For years I have been working exclusively on a slide-format (Kodachrome, mainly 200 ASA, sometimes 64, because of it's resolution and because it does not suffer from aging. I posses slides that were taken 35 years ago and still look like they were taken yesterday.

I work with Nikons (Nikkormat ELs and Nikon F3) and use 20, 28, 50, 55 en 300 fixed focal length and 80-200 zoom lenses (all manual focusing). 

I have bought a digital camera, a Sony 717. An excellent site on digital photography is: http://www.dpreview.com/ I am quite satisfied with the medium so far, one advantage being the extreme range of light situations one can handle without changing film. The pictures are good enough for the internet, not quite the quality I reach with projection.

As things progressed I bought a Nikon D70, as "the kit" i.e. including a 18-70 mm lens. I then invested heavily in a 70-200 / 2,8 VR, that has so far produced some excellent results in tests, and will shortly make his maiden voyage to Turkey, where I expect it to handle low light situations and portrait taking in the streets very well. It is such a huge lens it immediately made me feel professional, I wonder what the people in Turkey's streets and villages will think of it. They will probably want pay. 

I offer these pictures for fair usage: if someone exploits them commercially I would like to know, and receive part of the profits. If someone republishes them let him or her please indicate the source, maybe by linking to my pages.

 
Where were they taken? For the time being I supply these pictures without comment. They have been sorted according to the city where they were taken (or its surroundings). Later I may somehow supply comments. As indicated elsewhere I now have a huge site at www.pbase.com/dosseman/ where I do supply comments to most of the (already over 1100) pictures. Go follow me there.

 
Copying the pictures.  A piece of advice: If you want to copy pictures from the internet it suffices to "right click" on the picture and then choose the option "save picture as" (and follow further instructions). 

You must posses a program to show the pictures, but for as far as I know any modern computer will have that aboard. A sound one is Irfan View, see http://www.irfanview.com/

 
The "thumbnails" A well known problem is that the files are too large to download them at a fair speed. So often smaller examples are used (thumbnails) that you may click on to get a larger size. I use that system too.

I wish I could give the full sized digital version, but then the space at my provider would be filled with just two pictures (5 MB each). So I use compression. If someone longs to have a certain picture in the full version, mail me, maybe I can send it as an attachment. Even then many providers won't allow such sizes to be sent.
