Last monday evening Martijn and I went to Wijk aan Zee where I previously shot a rather placid water photograph in foggy conditions. It was cloudy and I had a very busy (and dare I say slightly chaotic) couple of days before so we just shot the breeze on the pier and some photographs. Afterwards there … Continue reading “Wijk aan Zee shooting breeze”

Last wednesday was a busy day, but we found a moment to cruise towards Lucasgat on the A1 to take a photograph in my series Dutch Highways. We visited a couple of other reststops as well, but most of them did not prove very photogenic. Next on my list: taking more time for this. And I … Continue reading “Lucasgat”

Insel Hombroich is situated near Neuss in Germany. Architect turned photographer Bas Gijselhart and I went there last monday to photograph follies on the estate, the nearby Raketenstation and the building of the Langen Foundation, a splendid building of concrete and glass designed by Tadao Ando.

Part of the reason to photograph these forests is to show that commonplace matters can be beautiful, without the need for anything out of the ordinary (such as belling stags) happening. What is better than a wintery day on which the sun and the rain have achieved a gloomy stalemate to illustrate this concept?
