doc(q)man's photostream

Film was for years my profession but (amateur-)photography was always my passion, as it was my mother's, my uncle's and grandfather's before me. (I post some of their images here as well.)
A single guy until I was way into my thirties I traveled a lot, laughed a lot, drank a lot and lived through many adventures. Being a husband and father since then brought different but no less intensive adventures. Humor still abounds, although I must say this cannot be said for the booze...
Photography links both periods of my life, as evidenced here on Flickr.
Still curious, still looking, still recording, still seeing, I hope!
NB: people with no public profile and/or no public photo's of their own can and may be blocked from my site.
Jump to some random spot in my photostream! Better still, check out those images that ended up in explore.

"docman brings me a view of his world that is fascinating to me. I love his old family photos, presented in such a way that they have the appeal of fascination. I love to see how his life was lived in Holland when he was a boy. Not so different from mine in America.
His more current photos of Holland are also fascinating. I especially like the sets showing different areas of Holland. Many of the photos have a well written description, which adds to my knowledge of what life is like there."22nd October, 2005

"docman - the newly famous photographer of the romanesque fractal-like vegetable his wife refused to cook! Always a delight to see the variety in his world and sharing nature. I come back time and again to see his photo stream."

"A man with an amazingly talented photostream, a beautiful view as apparent in the subjects and places he's photographed, and a great big heart. My passion for photography has flourished even more since the day he gave me a pro account. Thanks a million Ard, for your generosity and for your great photography."
