I’ve bought Ricoh GR IV as my everyday camera that I can always carry with me no matter where I go and what I do because taking my heavy and bulky SL3 is not that easy. The next week I will be in Düsseldorf for a couple days and I initially planned to take GR with me but I changed my mind. I need to shoot Leica in Germany, obviously. Btw, if you live in Düsseldorf or somewhere nearby, let’s hang out!

A football field in a park not far away from my house. I often walk there with Otis and it’s always beautiful, in any weather.

Believe it or not, but “The Decisive Moment” by Henri Cartier-Bresson is my first photo book. It has just arrived. “The Europeans” is coming soon, too.

Today’s catch.

I carry my small camera everywhere in case something interesting appears. Sometimes I wonder what people think when I start shooting everything around, but shots like this make the obsession worth it.

This is special. It's not only a shot I personally really like, but also a hint about what I'm preparing to reveal soon.

Soestduinen, the Netherlands

A photographic study of Soestduinen, one of the Netherlands’ rare inland dune landscapes, between Amersfoort and Utrecht. Wind-shaped sand and sparse vegetation of the quiet anomaly within an otherwise engineered country.
