I was born in 1942 in very rural South Africa and graduated from high
school in 1960. Home language a Dutch dialect. Loved violin since 1948
and cameras since 1959. Came to the USA for the first time in 1967 and
for the last time, as an immigrant, in 1997. US citizen in 2004. Happy
and thankful full-time violin maker and user of a 1934 Leica, several
Exaktas/Exas, two Zorki-6's and one Retina IIc. I love New York but
live in North-Central Florida. I am 66 but feel like 38. I may be a
fart but not an OLD fart ... yet. (I think.) - Jan van Rooyen.
