Some time ago I took down my photo-site. Marion always found it a pity that I have done this. Now she asked me if I would be willing if would make photo-books of the best photo’s I made. And especially if I would update and expand the photo-book “Living as Gods and Goddesses on Lesvos”…

Artis, zoo of Amsterdam
Yesterday Marissa, Marion and I visited Artis. Artis is a zoo located in the city of Amsterdam. The weather yesterday was extreme nice, which added greatly to the mood of our visit. Because of the good weather it was also quite busy at Artis, but luckily not too crowded. It was very nice to wander…
My photo’s….
I was just talking with someone living in the same building as I do and this person mentioned the photo’s I have made over the years. He wondered if there was somewhere online that he could see my photo’s. I assumed that it was well known where people could find my photo’s online. Of course…
The Art of the Brick
“Art makes better humans. Art is necessary in understanding the world and art makes people happy. Undeniably, art is not optional.” – Nathan Sawaya Who doesn’t know the little Lego-bricks? I think almost everyone will have played with them. I knew already for some time that there would be an exhibition about Lego nearby, but…
An small experiment…
When you have a hobby then mostly you will be looking to get the most out of that hobby. Well, I do have two hobbies. Hmmm, that is not true. I have many hobbies, but I had an idea to do something nice with two of my hobbies, combined that is. These hobbies are plants…
Life is there to… buy a new lens :-)
Well, finally I have it: My new Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm zoom lens and so far I like it a lot. 300mm is very nice, but remember that my D300s is a crop camera, which means that you can multiply your focal length with 1.5. So this means that this lens will act as a 105mm-450mm…
Life is there to… watch and read “Obessie”
Although my birthday was already 2 weeks ago, finally my birthday from Marion arrived today… It is a photobook about the Dutch artist Ellen ten Damme called “Obsessie” (which translate from Dutch to “Obsession”). The photo’s are made by Danny Ellinger. For 2 years Ellen allowed Danny Ellinger to follow her and make photo’s of…
Life is there to… make macro photo’s
Finally it has arrived! Mijn new macro lens. To be very precise it is the “Nikkor AF-S VR Micro 105mm f/2.8 G IF-ED”, but that is rather a mouth full (and I have no idea if that is a correct English saying at all :P): For some time I was wondering what kind of lens…
Life is there to… visit the Fortress Island
As people may know, I own a Nikon D300s DSLR. And because I want to keep informed about everything that happens around Nikon, I am member of the NCN (“Nikon Club Nederland”). The NCN has every year a club day for its members. This year the club has its 25 year anniversary and for that…
About photographing objects….
Photography is about many exciting things and making pictures of objects is one of them. I like to make photographs of objects. Doesn’t matter to me if it is inside or outside. And mostly it doesn’t matter what. Many objects can be beautiful enough to make pictures of. And some times it is not beauty…
