Scenery

The sky is that beautiful old parchment in which the sun and the moon keep their diary.

No rules of architecture for castles in the clouds

It's not a matter of reconciliation but holding onto the kind of happenings that feel like bells heard through mountain mist, happenings that ground you, that sound you out, and stay hours from rushing by without a meaning.


The trick is to make a shakkei garden out of your life. Plant trees for changing views. Set water basins near gravel or flowering shrubs. Arrange rocks around leaning grass. Then borrow a full moon that guarantees more vision than a line of lanterns.

Travel

I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.

Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway, so... Spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly!


A few years ago I took an Easyet flight to Edinburgh; bought an old bike; took a train to Glasgow and from there I bicycled in some days to Oban, then to Tobemory -Scotland.

The Scottisch are very kind. Breathing the awesome Scottisch scenery, biking through the country is a great experience.

Weddings

Capturing The Day were people witness two people promising sharing life forever. Photo's that should awaken the day as yesterday, even if a century ago.

The most Memorable day

Capturing The Day means capturing Emotion, Expression, Family, Witnesses, etc..


Each Weddingday is a unique happening. Prefering Zeiss lenses, because of their outstanding microcontrast, sharpness and bokeh... moments get frozen in a unique way.


When you get me as your photographer, we will meet and discuss your preferences. I find it very important to know the preferences and if possible also about the family setup.

To get an idea of my approach, check out my portfolio where you will find a selection of photo's I made during weddings.

Street

A city is a large community where people are lonesome together.

What is the city but the people?

The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied...but written off as trash. The twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which a beggar is a reminder of nothing. John Berger


All cities are mad: but the madness is gallant. All cities are beautiful: but the beauty is grim.

People

The soul may sleep and the body still be happy, but only in youth.

What he had yearned to embrace was not the flesh but a downy spirit, a spark, the impalpable angel that inhabits the flesh. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry




Africa

When written in Chinese the word "crisis" is composed of two characters - one represents danger and the other represents opportunity. John F. Kennedy


I've been in Buenos Aires, San Fransisco, Budapest, Lissabon, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Paris, etc. The most thrilling city, however, was Freetown. I've never experienced more Live!

This capital of a war-torn country resedents beautiful people, I mean in a spiritual sense. While we can walk lonesome through Amsterdam, In Freetown it's one family.

Objects

Objects, withouth soul, yet stirring our sense of creative design..

The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.


Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap.
