Hi! My name is Jan Kohl, and I am both the administrator for Castle Graphics, as well as the photographer for the original content found on this site.
I have long been captivated with photography since I was a small child. Some of it probably stems from my parents being interested in photography, my dad always had a nice camera ever since I can remember. When I was a little older, I asked for a camera and got Brownie box camera, with which I began learning how to take photographs.
I joined the military, and my travels across Europe prompted me to purchase a Minolta X700, which I put to good use. Many of my photographs date from this time, and I took it everywhere I went. That camera was great, I had it rebuilt once, and I used it for almost 20 years before I finally sold it to go digital…even that now being many years ago.
This site has been running since 1997. There are 2 separate areas…”Transport” is all about transportation (planes, trains and automobilies), and also includes an extensive trove of vintage photos, negatives and slides that I have collected over the years. “Galleries” is all original photography work done by me, and is inclusive of many different subjects, types & styles of photography.
So please sit back and enjoy Castle Graphics: The Camera Eye.
