"I see something special and show it to the camera. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs." - Sam Abell
My name is Thijs, as you probably already have seen on this site here and there. I'm a 23 year old informatics student from the Netherlands. Besides sitting in front of my computer monitor all day I also got an interest in photography and travelling (although there are people still who question this...). I started developing an interest for photography during a holiday in beautiful Scotland in 2006, at that time I only had a simple compact camera but after this holiday I started thinking about a DSLR. It took a few months, comparing different cameras that fitted my wishes and budget and after a while I bought one. In the mean time I also developed another plan. I was bored and dissatisfied with my studies in Amsterdam so I decided to go on Erasmus Exchange for 6 months and hoped it would all be better in Finland. I received my camera just before Christmas, I made some snapshots of all the family stuff going on in that time but photographing really started in my exchange period
And that is where this blog starts, Finland January 2007. Actually at that time I started with a Wordpress blog, but I never added much content because writing long stories about my adventures wasn't really my thing. So in October 2007 I removed Wordpress, started setting up Pixelpost and uploaded the -in my opinion- best pictures that I took in Finland and after. Hopefully I can continue with this for a long time because I'm enjoying it very much and I hope people enjoy my work as well. For those interested in my adventures in Finland I will try to make a PDF document with all that was on my old blog that you can download.

For the best results it is important to have a calibrated monitor. For reference you should at least be able to distinguish the 26 different colours of grey in the picture below.
