Wedding day

They were sitting on a bench in my father’s idyllic village. I asked if I could take a picture of them. Of course I first had to explain what my intention was.
“In honor of the birthday of a famous Dutch street photographer, we were invited to take a picture in his style as a tribute. So we try to take a picture the way he would take a picture.”
“You look like a serious photographer,” She said. “So go ahead. But first you have to take a picture of us with my cell phone.” It was their wedding day; they enjoyed the sun, the beautiful surroundings and especially each other.

What a wonderful day it was

Florida – day 5 and 6

Around Melbourne, Erna Nixon Park, Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands and more. Lots and lots of bird… and some alligators and turtoises and trees. In Erna Nixon Park I saw a glimpse of an armadillo – just briefly and I was so excited that I forgot to take a picture…

Florida – day 2

Next morning we were welcomed by this Key deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium) walking through our garden. A miniature deer, but what beautiful eyes!


These colors of the mangroves!

Portraits in the rain

“Shall we postpone?” she asked. “The weather forecast is bad. A lot of rain.”
“Let’s just try,” I replied. “It will be dry between showers. And actually I think portraits in the rain are quite special. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll decide on the spot to go again another day.”

We did take some great portrait photos in the sun and in the shade. Then the rain came. And yes, of all these pictures, the ones in the rain are definetely my favorites!

FKE Exhibition

Really happy with the opening today of the exhibition in the St. Aegtenkapel in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, of our photoclub FKE. A bunch of great photographers with so much creativity! Former chairman Rob Renshoff has succeeded in realizing this exhibition – what a succes!
