Johan’s interest in photography was sparked by an ancient twin lens reflex Rolleiflex that was used to take occasional family pictures when he grew up. In 1969 he got his hands on the family Kodak Instamatic but had to wait another ten years before getting his own first camera, a Pentax ME. Several cameras and many years later he ended up with thousands of slides and negatives that were taking up storage and needed to be digitized. He works on business strategy and lives in Cape Town.
