Since I was a little boy in Amsterdam my mom and dad took me to all the latest art and photo exhibitions in galleries, the finest museums in my home town of Amsterdam, in Holland, and Europe ~ all over the world for that matter. I especially liked going to Rembrandt's home (now a museum) and hanging about in his studio and kitchen. This for me was very inspirational. A birthday brought my first camera when I was very young. My camera, was it seems with me constantly ~ Taking pictures of my boyhood friends in provocative poses was admittedly mostly their ideas ~ Naturist summer camp in my childhood with my parents, brothers, and friends were fantastic experiences that gave me great pleasure and have fostered life long friendships ~ I did not fully understand or appreciate the significance of these experiences on my feelings until my teenage and subsequent years. I have been collecting boy art prints, photo art and advertisements since I was a kid. Anything with a boy depicted tastefully (or not) (..must have been a big clue to my parents that I was gay). My love of the arts was so strong that I became an artist myself ~ studying drawing and painting from about age 6. ~ Finally getting my degree has made my parents very happy. Living well off my art income has made them even happier ~ They were not that thrilled in the beginning with my "Gay Sex Photo Pages" although always supportive ~ ~ they are very happy that I now am sharing my art passions here.At this time I can't display my own paintings here in these galleries as I have agreements with several galleries regarding promotion. I will share some photos from my childhood and favorites from my personal collections with you. I will be adding to these galleries weekly, or as I gather up enough additional scans / prints to fill another gallery.

The images displayed are scanned, some gathered from the internet, some have been donated to my collection by friends over the years. Most, as far as I can tell, are in commercial use and/or in the public domain. Please come back as often as you can and enjoy you visits.
