About Me

Leo van Dijk

I was born in the Netherlands and came to the USA in 1978. I am full time electronic technician.

I started taking photos when I was around 16 with Kodak film cameras. I joined the merchant marine when I was 18 and traveled extensively across the world always having a camera with me. I continued photographing for years with various film cameras. Among them Yashica, Olympus OM1 and OM2 and my last film camera a Nikon N6006.

I became more serious about photographing when my daughter played softball.  After she started college I researched taking courses in photography.

I have a certificate in Digital Photography from Rhode Island School of Design.

I have taken various seminars from National Association of Photoshop Professionals

I'm a member of the Rhode Island Photo Society
