About Paul Abspoel

Hi, my name is Paul Abspoel and I am a Dutchman (46) living in Hoofddorp (near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport). I'm taking pictures to capture beauty and to share my love for life with other human beings around the globe. I am a husband, father, son, brother and friend and I earn my living as a book publisher. Want to know a bit more? Google me or have a look at my 'regular' weblog!

Photography Equipment

Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS digital camera with Schneider Kreuznach Telephoto Lens 1.4 x 55 mm (optional)
I sometimes use Photoshop Elements 6 - mostly for small corrections, but also for fun , i.e. to experiment and to fool around with my pictures... ;-) I like to keep it simple and I'm not an equipment fanatic. It's about the pictures, the appreciation of beauty and about sharing ideas, not so much about the tricks and the tools - as far as I'm concerned. But I do like to learn from other photo enthusiasts and I really appreciate receiving constructive feedback and friendly comments. So, what's stopping you? (hint, hint)
