I added comments on every set of images to offer some background (click on the square icon to fill any screen type). Any observation from your side: more than welcome ☺. Enjoy!
Three activities that have played an important part in my life have come together in this website: photography, web design and my love for English (I'm not trying to be perky here, I chose to translate my website into English as most of my visitors are non-Dutch speaking).
Photography is what makes me tick. I noticed that my work is getting more and more abstract. Inspired by having visited more museums in the past five years than in my entire life? Most certainly. Changed because I am getting older? Definitely.
With techniques such as ICM and blur aided by post-processing I try to make images that are different and grab the attention. If they don't, I am truly sorry. But there's also plenty of tradional photography. Don't worry.
Sit back, relax and scroll through my site. 24 mm, 2.0 sec @ f/22.
For the second time this year, my images will be published in ICMPhotoMag, a leading magazine on ICM photography. The subject of this topic article will be 'Pictures at an Exhibition'. Pre-orders for the single-issue copy are now available at - https://www.icmphotomag.com/september-2022-issue.

Saskia Boelsums' work in the form of a selection of outstanding landscapes was exhibited at Museum Jan, apart from ceramics and glass objects. Reason enough to visit this unexpectedly large museum with shops and restaurants around the corner. Seven minutes from there, right in the middle of Amstelveen, we also visited Cobra Museum featuring Corneille's and Moroccan work including a humorously constructed mobile.

I just felt like going to this small city nearby for a few hours, and shot whatever I came across. The 'Zinder', which is a spectacular building near the centre, some gulls and the unavoidable scooter.

For a walk at the beach it was a bit of a grey day, quite unlike the sunny and warm summer we've had so far.

Quite close to where the Royal family has a summer residence, a small museum 'Belvedère' was built right across the canal that leads to it. I shot this having lunch in the restaurant (the museum's 😉).

The wind carried motocross noises to my house, so I decided to take a peek. What I saw threw me back to the seventies. Images between 1/30 and 0.5 sec @ ISO 200.

Sweet Peace, where dost thou dwell? I humbly crave,
Let me once know.
I sought thee in a secret cave,
And ask'd, if Peace were there,
A hollow wind did seem to answer,
No: Go seek elsewhere …
George Herbert (1593-1633), 'Peace'.

It makes me feel proud and excited. Pre-orders for the single-issue copy are now available at - https://www.icmphotomag.com/june-2022-issue.
