I am retired. Going through graphic education to work as a graphic designer, art director, studio chief for over 20 years.
During the graphic training I came into contact with reproduction photography. We were also allowed to play with Cambo 4x5" technical cameras.
I was very interested and bought a Canon FTb QL 35mm camera.
A few years later I bought my first Super8 camera and projector. Nizo S6 and Noris projector, both without sound.

During the following years I also bought my first Super8 sound camera and sound projector. Canon 814 XLS and Braun Visacustic 2000 projector.

In 1989 I convinced the management of the advertising agency to invest in computers. The PrePress revolution had started (for me) with an Apple IIFX with (wow) 4MB memory and 80GB hard disk.
After 3 years the Apple dealer asked if I wanted to join them and so I did.

A about 11 years I wanted to do that independently.
But things almost never go the way you expect.
A good friend had graduated from the film academy and started a film company. One of his first assignments was to make a DVD for a Nature & Environment Center. But it had to be shot on HDV and not on DV.
He then asked me if I wanted to record it with my HDV camera and edit it.

No sooner said than done! 25 Short movies shot in HDV and edited in Final Cut Pro were put on a professionally pressed DVD. The collaboration went very well and slowly but surely I was filming and editing for and with him more than doing my own business until my retirement.

Now the goal is to build a super8 scanner to digitize all the footage I shot on super8 from 1980 to 1998.
