Blijdorp Zoo

 
On one of the first days of Spring 2010 we visited Rotterdam's fine zoo.
Thanks, our dear friend Paula († April 2, 2010), great animal lover, for the free tickets.

Do you remember... 1978


In the following posts I show you some pictures that I made in 1978 during a short holiday in Athens, Greece. The photo's showing myself (32 years ánd 32 kilograms ago) were shot by my friend and fellow-traveller André.
Or watch the slide-show (first click the arrow in the picture below, then click the tiny white rectangle at the left for full screen):

Athens, 32 years ago!

I just bought me a filmscanner (the Reflecta Crystalscan 7200) and started to digitilize some of my slides. The older slides appeared to be rather bleached after all those years and the colors very different from what they used to be. Having corrected the white balance, contrast and some other things with Photoshop, however, the results are quite satisfactory in my opinion.

The pictures were made in October 1978 with the tiny, but great Rollei 35B, on a trip for a week to Athens, Greece, with my friend André. Unfortunately the Rollei camera passed away in 1985.

More Athens, 32 years ago!
