I would like to dedicate my website to all artistry in the world.
in loving memory of Hilde Rens, known under the artistic name of Yasmine
from the song ' November '
'' jij kan november doen stralen en maakt ze heter dan de heetste zon
jij kan, jij mag seizoenen draaien, door jou werd weer een cirkel rond ''
freely translated by me
'' you're able to make november shiny bright and make it hotter than the hottest sun,
you're welcome to go on for many more seasons, thanks to you all came to full circle again ''
a favourite quote is ''Time is My Only Enemy'' from Charles Chaplin
and all our love goes to our mum Maria Krämer 1920 - 1985 and our daddy Willem van Gelder 1920 - 2009. we will miss you so badly, but we will never forget what the both of you have achieved for a family of six children.

lower prices are pictures achieved by a professional photolab, derived straight from the negative or digital source. you can choose between glossy or matt pearl polyethylene paper or glossy or matt fiberbase paper.
higher prices are pictures achieved in the darkroom by myself, working from the negatives with an enlarger. I use warmtone Ilford fiberbase paper from the heighest weight. however, darkroom practices are cancelled untill early 2010 due to changing of the working facilities.
