Focus shift

March 7, 2018

This is not about focus shift in a (zoom) lens. This is, in hindsight, a first example of my struggles with the meritocracy.

September 5, 2017

Still Life With Milk

June 7, 2017

I plagiarized a photograph of one of my favourite (Dutch) photographers: Elspeth Diederix. It was hard, and I think I failed, but it was fun!

Empty office space (Lambertus Hortensiuslaan)

October 17, 2015

Empty spaces, especially office spaces, attract me a lot. I had the chance to shoot this magnificent building because I knew the owner.
