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.
Last sunlight of the day, rain's coming. Exposure 0.3 sec at F/45 @ 300 mm.

Composite image of the evening light on the hills in Lanzarote, a road and the rear lights of cars passing by. The landscape that I love so much stands for photography. The asphalt is the Fotocafé I'm quitting with. The trails of lights are a symbol for me, getting on with photography. Exposure main image 3.2 sec at F/8 @ 85 mm.

The upholstery of a couch with a wooden back and a cushion gave this settee a colourful appearance. The white streaks are caused by reflecting light on the edge of the wood.

Great exhibition at Dordrecht Museum with paintings by Turner, Callcott, Cosnatble, Gainsborough and of course Albert Cuyp who inspired them. To view the paintings I can only strongly recommend to visit the museum, I made ICMs of the visitors.

Last sunny and relatively warm day of the year, so I went out for a stroll and enjoyed autumn taking over at the Nature Reserve near Wolfheze.

Shot at the court leading to Museum Gouda. If the sun had been out, it would have been a bit more spectacular.

Interesting exhibition at Gouda, Koele wateren with paintings borrowed from Rijks museum, explained with the aid of an audio tour. Just checking which of these images are keepers.

For me an unknown artist, discovered at Museum Martena at Franeker. Paintings with a loose and raw touch, most of them are portraits. Very intriguing works and inviting to save his palette and dynamics in these ICMs. Exposure 1 sec at F13 @105 mm.

Artist-photographer Popel Coumou (1978) plays with the most important elements of photography in her work: light, paper and the perception of reality. By lighting her collages of paper, she adds a third clear and minimal dimension to the paper. Exposure 0,5 sec at F6,7 @ 24 mm, movement walking.

Made famous by Marie Kuyken. In this picture her offspring from Belgium is enjoying the works on display. The term 'cloisonné' refers to the historical technique of cloisonné enamel. Metal strips were also used, but then on a metal surface. The strips not only form the representation, but also prevent the different colors of enamel powder used to fill the hollow spaces between the strips (cloisons) from melting together in the oven.

This morning I found a white Tesla parked in front of our house. No idea whose it was ... I've always liked its fluent lines, so I put on my jacket and had a go at it.

Was bought and restored by the Melchers family to create a home for Carel Willink's portraits. Functions as an extension to Museum MORE in Gorssel. This is a Pep Ventosa technique consisting of 21 shots taken from a semi-circle (officially a Pep Ventosa should be 360 degrees, but I hate to get my feet wet.)

(From my archive) Nice beach to go for a short walk after a healthy dish at the fish restaurant, and smell the water. There shouldn't be any dogs here unless on the leash, but nobody cares. Sent this one and the ones below in for the Water theme for the ICM Network. Shutter speed 0,6 sec, F/45, 300 mm, ISO200, jittery movement moving to the right.

If you have reached this point, you're a real diehard ☺. The menu above leads you to more pages which all have the latest entries at the top.
Below you will find the most recent posts in my Instagram feed (that you can see without an account); clicking will show them in a new window (then you do need an account). To avoid a sloppy presentation in their three-to-a-row grid, I made them them all square. It does feel a bit like a harness. But sometimes I use the concept for a triptych.
