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.

I launched my photography website! It’s not a portfolio of an accomplished professional, but a personal workshop put on display. For now, I follow curiosity rather than coherence. And of course, I make mistakes. But I am learning and trying to understand what I’m drawn to. My long-term goal is to carve out a style that feels mine, and I believe that my website will motivate me to improve.

There are a few more photos on my website than on Glass, because I was reviewing my archives and adding more pictures from the past. From now on, I will try to keep them in parity. I’ve updated my ongoing series on Glass, but on the website you can also see albums with shots grouped by genres.

A completely new addition is a standalone blog that I called Journal, where I am going to write about new series and probably some other photographic adventures. I’ve already published a few articles:
