Old Sem is the key to photography

Nelma Franke

On the background you see a photo of Sem Presser from the book Sem Presser, een halve eeuw fotojournalistiek ( 50 years of photo journalism) , a famous Dutch photo journalist who lived from 1917-1986. I couldn't find anything in English about him so the link to his website, with a large amount of wonderful photos, is only in Dutch. www.sempresser.nl/
On the foreground you see the Japanese Petri 35E, a 35 mm. camera from the early seventies, it took great pictures and was his time far ahead. The camera has about the same size and is just a little bit heavier than my Nikon Coolpix P5000 (240 g - 8.5 oz all in), a brandnew digital camera, also from Japan.
