I'm Wilfred van der Vegte. I was born in 1963 and currently I live in The Hague in the Netherlands (Holland). In my 'other life' I work at Delft University of Technology. I've been making photographs since the 1970s. Photograph: Berlin, 2008 © Jan Brouckaert.

Most of the photographs on this site have been made with 35mm  and 6x4.5 analog equipment, and scanned with a filmscanner. The more recent pictures were taken with a Nikon D70s/D90 DSLR. If you're interested in technical stuff I recommend the following sites, where I post photographs on a regular basis, and where you can sometimes find details like film types, exposure data and the type of lens I used:

The contaxg pages: This is where you can find a selection of the images I shot with my Contax G2 - an autofocus viewfinder camera with exchangeable lenses. The contaxg pages are a lively web community where users of Contax G1 and G2 cameras post images, critique and rate each others images and discuss photography-related topics. My user page is here. The non-contaxg pages: This is where I post images shot with my other gear: the Nikon DSLR, the Bronica RF645 medium-format rangefinder camera and the Minolta manual-focus SLRs I owned in the 1990s. There are also a few images taken with a disposable camera and images taken with the Voigtländer Vito B that I used in the 1970s and 1980s (and which I still own). The contaximages pages: This is where I sometimes post images made with my compact Contax T2 camera. Woophy.com presents a map of the world on which you can search images based on the location where they were taken. Anyone can become a member and post his or her images, so there's a lot of variety in style and quality. It's a very nice and  innovative concept. On all these websites, many interesting contributions from other photographers can be found.
